Cidi Labs Design Tools Release Notes

October 1, 2021

Overview

A few tweaks to the navigation portion of a couple of front page themes and a few other pieces.

Next Generation Update

Nearing Alpha Testing

We have a few more things to wrap up before we bring in a group to begin alpha testing the next generation of the Design Tools sidebar in the Cidi Labs instance. We hope to have the alpha version ready in the next few months. You can visit the Next Gen DesignPLUS Trello board to keep an eye on progress.

Updated or Modified Features

Module Navigation Button Hidden Gem

The Module Navigation Button Hidden Gem has been updated to pull button and other styles from the placeholder and apply them to the final dropdown.

Bug Fixes

Flat Sections Theme Navigation

A few additional tweaks were made to the Flat Sections Theme Navigation to address a slight alignment difference when a combination of items with icons and items without icons occur in the same row.

Basic Color (Panel Navigation) Responsive Behavior

The Basic Color (Panel Navigation) theme has been updated so that the alignment of the banner image and the overlaid navigation better align on certain screen sizes and areas in Canvas.

Retain Icon when Changing Link Text

This update addresses an issue where changing the text of a link using the Link/Button tool also removed an icon that was added using the Link/Button tool.

Math Equations and Accordions

Building on the fix pushed out in the July 28, 2021 Release, some additional modifications have been made to the code to prevent pieces like accordions, tabs, quick checks, etc. from being created until all math equations have been transformed. This is to address an issue that happens periodically where the equations don't display correctly in these dynamic components.

Ally Alternative Formats dropdown Fixed: 09/15/2021

For institutions who are using the Move Ally Dropdown Out of Title Hidden Gem, an adjustment was made to where the dropdown is repositioned. It was discovered that when Pages is removed from the course navigation, the area where the dropdown was being positioned doesn't exist. To address this and to simplify all of the other structural changes that Canvas might make, the repositioned dropdown will appear in the top left of the content.
