Upgrade Your Drupal Skills
We trained 1,000+ Drupal Developers over the last decade.

The past month we have processed again a lot of feedback and improved OpenLucius, a Drupal social intranet. Below the improvements that have been made yesterday:
1. Navigation text documents better and faster
We noticed that the navigation of text documents was loading slowly - when placing a lot of text documents (100+) in a group. This is now loaded with a different technique that makes everything much quicker.
We also addressed the navigation to sub-pages (1): this is now more intuitive, faster and mobile usable. Finally, we placed a search feature above (2), so you can find/filter documents quickly.

2. Hide comments
We received a lot of feedback that a page with many comments was becoming unnecessarily long and cluttered. We solved this by hiding comments - just like Gmail does. Hidden comments can easily be shown again.
3. Improved status updates
It is now visible who placed Likes and also images can now be enlarged.
4. Changing profile made easier
When changing your profile, the information is now divided into tabs. Before the update all the profile fields were shown below each other.
5. Event information
All information about an Event is now shown immediately, instead of in separate tabs.
6. Adding To do’s from Group dashboard
When adding a To do from a Group dashboard, you will return there again after saving. Also the date field is now by default empty.
7. Icon: ‘Visible to client’ improved
This icon is now only displayed when the relevant content is placed in a group, specified as ‘Group with clients’.

8. Images in text
Images posted in text are now also scaling well on a mobile device.
9. Easily change your picture and cover image
Change your picture or cover image instantly by moving your mouse over them and clicking ‘change cover image' or 'picture icon'.
10. News tab front page
We have added a ’Show more’ feature. You can see now also who gave the Likes.

11. Notifications optimized
The button ’Show more group members’ (under notification marks) is now only shown once.

12. Translations
Some missing Dutch translations have been added.
Wrap up
That’s it for April, questions or feedback? Let me know!
