Web Systems Release Notes: March 7-28, 2018

Some bad (but not invalid) HTML in caption fields was causing entire YM articles to be bold, italic, etc. This bug has been fixed.

Added a Yale Medicine Stories promo to the Bill Pay page per Nicole Wise's request.

Added a Board Certification statement in a more prominent placement in doctor profiles per the request of Surgery (Dr. Longo). It now displays in the blue box beside of the doctor's headshot.

Configure tool for checking formatting errors in YM code

Updated reactjs to the 16th version.

When editing YM doctor profiles, if you clicked "Dynamic Preview" before saving, the content would be saved but Dynamic Preview did not appear. Now the content updates will be saved and the preview will open.

Dynamic Preview didn't work properly for stories and concept articles in case only first page was filled and saved. This bug has been fixed.

Applied custom display names to 714 Kyruus concepts that have been imported since the Yale Medicine website launched.

Added categories to emails sent from the Yale Medicine website so that we can better track usage and history for the email share tool.

Some keywords were appearing in organization keyword lists that were associated with users who were hidden from websites. This bug has been fixed so these extra keywords no longer appear.

It was possible to create organizations with same slugs. Now it is fixed.

Added new feed to retrieve a public health keyword by its ID.

Doctor profile videos were not accessible by using the tab key after the page first loads, this problem was fixed.

This work will not be completed because it is no longer inline with our high availability strategy.

IP Security was not working for websites cached in NGINX, all users were being denied access. This bug has been fixed.

Configure Nginx to cache content from Staywell.

Malicious attacks are made against our websites many times per minute. This task implemented a system that would abort the requests as soon as possible to avoid using our resources more than necessary.

This task caches a copy of the response from Staywell to improve web page response time and also ensure content delivery takes place even if the Staywell service has an outage.

This finishes lower priority work to move Yalemedicine.org behind the Nginx Cache servers. This was deferred until production testing was completed since these changes are harder to back out of in the event of issues arising from the change.

When Nginx runs into a problem and needs to display an error page, it defaults to a plain white Nginx page and this task creates error pages that more closely match the site the error is from. YaleMedicine.org has a special version and all other errors go to a default medicine.yale.edu error page.

Our focus for global redundancy is the use of cached web content instead of replicating our entire SQL/Web server infrastructure globally which improves availability and reduces our costs.

We will be using Nginx instead of the SDL cache service.

Captcha has been applied to our email forms to prevent malicious usage of our email service.

This SSL wildcard certificate now allows us to serve websites following the pattern *.yale.edu such as surgery.yale.edu. This aids with search engine optimization and will also give us the ability to fully utilize vanity URLs that we have created.

Won't Do: This task is complicated by policies in Yale's Information Security office and as a result we are changing our direction to redirect sites to use the SSL enabled medicine.yale.edu instead of applying SSL to every Vanity URL we use.

This task was to setup a new VUM stack that eliminates a piece of software in the current VUM stack that cannot be uninstalled.

Won't Do: Rather than do this, we will focus our efforts on eliminating VUM entirely.

VUM has been documented to the extent necessary to support it through its end of life.
