[Pantheon][Sample Site] Web Farm Notes for the sample site

An updated build of pantheon has been rolled on to the preview web-server oil.

This release includes a number of bug fixes to path resolution functions as well as fixing some minor snippet bugs. A few extra warnings have also been added to the publisher panel.

SVN Logs:
[Pantheon][legacy][core] Back-port further path resolution fixes
[pantheon][legacy][snippets][PageList] Remove PageList fix from castor branch as the readable check does not seem to function properly.
[Pantheon][core] Backport img tag fix to castor as it works well on webfarm
[Pantheon][snippets][carousel] Fix path resolution (Resolves 158742)
[Pantheon][snippets][summary][events] Add warning when events dont have a start date and ensure that the event is not used.
[Pantheon][snippets][PageList] PageList snippet will now throw a publisher warning rather than a developer error if a listed file does not exist. Additionally, multiple instances of this snippet may now be placed on a single page without the tab-switching issue.

Information Services (IS) are carrying out a programme of work to update and upgrade the University’s main web server infrastructure. The completion of the new “web farm” is designed to replace the current preview and live web servers (Oil and Castor). It will provide increased resilience, speed, flexibility, security and functionality for all University of Kent web sites.

Many central websites have already been migrated to the new platform, and the Web Solutions team will be contacting site owners to discuss the transfer of the school and departmental sites.

The migration process should not involve any work for schools/departments; however it does include a short freeze on content publishing, to ensure that content remains consistent.

An onsite familiarisation session will be arranged for all publishers in order to setup their site(s) in Dreamweaver and to provide training on publishing to the new web farm.

Regular updates and announcements on the migration, workshops, and other related news will be posted on the Kent on the Web website.

An updated build of pantheon has been rolled on to the preview web-server oil.

This release includes a number of bugfixs related to caching and should improve the reliability of snippets (such as the twitter snippet) which are reliant of external content.

SVN Logs:
[Pantheon][legacy][snippets][twitter] Legacy twitter snippet gets its own personal version of the Cache::load method built in “cacheload”. This should resolve most cache based twitter display bugs.
[Pantheon][legacy] Backport “force IE to latest rendering mode” fix.
[Pantheon][legacy] Backport fix for twitter. Add ability to correctly parse entries with multiple lines.

We are pleased to announce the publication of two school films, a student focused tour of campus for Kent Law School and a promotional short for the Centre of Research and Education in Forensic Psychology.
