The following instructions assume that you have the Video Embed Field module installed on your Drupal 7 site. This is included on any Drupal Express site, but may not be installed on other Drupal sites found on campus.
Note: For best results, try not to put more than three videos on one page.
Block Regions are areas on a Web page where blocks can be placed. Using Block Regions to place blocks on a page is different than adding blocks directly to a Horizontal Landing Page, Vertical Landing Page, or Multipurpose page.
The following regions are available in the GT Theme. If you are using a different theme, it will likely have a different set of regions.
The following instructions show how to make it easier to read Webform data sent in emails (for Webform 7.x-3.x).
Under the Emails tab for a Webform, find the section titled Email template.
Georgia Tech Drupal websites may notice that their search bar stops working after upgrading to version 2.8 of the official Georgia Tech Theme. If your website was built by a developer or a vendor and uses overwritten template files, your website will likely exhibit this problem.
If your search selector shows an empty box (instead of the usual search box), you need to fix your Georgia Tech subtheme to match the new templates implemented in version 2.8.
The Georgia Tech Google Search Appliance (GSA) was shut down at the end of December 2016. If you are running version 2.9 or later of the GT Theme, then you do not need to worry about this, as version 2.9 and later of the them has had everything related to the Google Search Appliance removed.
If you are still running an older version of the theme, then we recommend that you upgrade to version 2.9 if you can. If for some reason this is not feasible, then you can make sure your site is not trying to use the Google Search Appliance by doing the following:
Some Georgia Tech Drupal users have encountered a bug where CKEditor/WYSIWYG settings were wrapping standalone images in paragraph tags. To fix this problem, follow the two steps below.
In your theme’s template.php file, add:
/**
* Implements hook_wysiwyg_editor_settings_alter()
*/
A Redirect module is available for Drupal to help manage link redirects and locate problem areas on your site post-migration.
To install, follow the directions below:
To allow more than one jump link on each Superblock, a quick hack is needed.
Please note: This is not guaranteed to work with future versions of Super Block, so proceed at your own risk.
Log in to GT Github and download the templates/node--super-block.tpl.php file from the gt_ae project.
After upgrading to Drupal 7.50 (or later), you start seeing red error messages that read "The following module is missing from the file system...".
Drupal 7.50 began scanning more carefully for module and theme files, including files for modules and themes that had been disabled, but not uninstalled. Unfortunately, many Drupal site administrators have disabled and deleted modules in the past without running the uninstall process, and once the module has been deleted, you no longer have a way to uninstall it.
You will need to download both the current Georgia Tech Drupal Theme package, and the GT Tools module.
