Bug fixes

  • Notice message fixed: While fixing a previous issue, we accidentally introduced a notice message that shouldn’t be there. You probably didn’t notice since this only usually appeared to Distro users. This has been fixed now!
  • Custom overrides work correctly: In short, there was a code on the filter block of a user’s events page that overruled custom overrides. We made the override more specific so that custom overrides can be used properly again.
  • Find yourself in autocomplete fields: Self-inception! It’s now possible to find yourself when searching for users in an autocomplete field (when you try to mention people in posts/comments or when you search for recipients for private messages).
  • Improved alignment of filter buttons: On mobile, we improved the alignment of the filter buttons on the event page and ensured that there was enough space above the filter. Design improvements coming along!
  • GDPR block uses brand secondary colors: Color themes on the platform should stay consistent. The GDPR Inform and Consent Block will now always have a brand secondary color for consistency. Consistent section titles: The section titles for search views are now displayed consistently.
  • Content activity displayed in the correct stream: When content is moved outside of a group, the activity item is now created and displayed in the correct stream. The same applies when content is moved to a group from the community. All is well!
  • Buttons only displayed with the correct permissions (by Slowflyer): The "Add a group", "Add topic" and "Add event" buttons used to show up on user profiles, even if the user didn’t have permission to create the related group or content. Confusing. Now the buttons only appear when a user has the right permissions.
  • Post image lightbox opens correctly: We added behaviors to the JavaScript to ensure that the post image lightbox always opens when users click on it.
  • URL fields are improved: As an SM, when you edit the URL alias field, the input section is now bigger and the URL part is shorter. Also, you now have more space to enter the URL alias.
  • Blocked users don’t appear in search: We ensured that blocked users do not show up in search results.
  • User profiles are now always editable: Certain actions, such as removing the Names and Profile image, would sometimes cause a user’s profile to be uneditable. But we support the freedom to edit! This has now been fixed.
  • Test improvements: We improved both the Paragraphs tests and the group edit content test.
