UCSF Website Updates

News and announcements regarding UCSF websites, as well as best practices and tips for getting the most out of your web presence.

Starter Kit 1.0 Migration Completed

IT has migrated over 200 Starter Kit 1.0 websites to a newer design in line with UCSF design standards, called Starter Kit 2.0.

During that process, IT ran into two main issues:

Orange Starter Kit 1.0 Themes

Starter Kit 1.0 sites with the orange theme (pictured right) were not automatically migrated because that theme has been customized. Those site owners will need to manually upgrade their website by following these simple steps.

Display of Site Names

IT noticed a number of websites were missing their Site Name identification on the site and were only showing the default UCSF logo, which is not how UCSF branded sites should look. They tweaked some sites via script to enable the Site Name in the upper left portion of the header.

This could cause a couple problems:

  • Many sites never updated the Site Name, and it still says “Starter Kit."
  • If the site name is very long, the navigation will be pushed to the right. In this case, you will want to use a shorter name for your site.

In both cases, the problem can be fixed by logging into the site as an administrator. Go to Configuration -> System -> Site Information to check and edit your Site Name details.
 
Once the site name is updated, go back to your homepage and verify the site name and other elements are to your liking.
