Summary

Drupal

  • Re-implemented search to use a select menu to switch between data and website. Also explored use of radio buttons. The biggest issues were in styling - the complexity of search being in open and closed header menus, slight differences in styling between the header showing in Drupal and in Dataverse, and dealing with responsiveness. The last bit of fun was with some Firefox specific oddities related to how it styles elements. We now have a bit of Firefox-specific css styling that makes the select look reasonable there (should be a general mechanism if we need other Firefox specific styling going forward)
  • Also improved the responsiveness of the header menu overall
  • Upgraded dev to Drupal 8.9.8

Dataverse

  • Discussed file PID reservation with IQSS, who have decided to delay merging until PID reservation/DataCite operations in general can be made asynchronous/run in the background.

Other:

  • Submitted PIDapalooza abstract (minimal change from draft)

Plans

  • deploy updates to stage for testing
  • #50 - access failure reporting
  • Issue queue

Still TBD:

  • Drupal 9/composer 2
