My LocalGov Drupal contributions for week-ending March 14th, 2025

I've been busy on other work since early January, so great to get back to contributing to LocalGov Drupal.

Meetings and Meet-ups

Merge Tuesday: Just a few people at the MT call today, but we got a lot of Drupal 11 compatibility issues looked at, which is was.
Content Group: Fantastic meeting looking at publication workflows and using workspaces in Drupal.
Tech Group Drop-in: Some very interesting questions this week. I especially enjoyed talking about adding images to taxonomy terms.

We have lots of PRs open for coding standards, especially now since we have added CSS and JS linting tools to our set up. I got through reviewing lots of these, so hopefully those test failures will be simple one-off failures and not show up again.
We released a cool feature for guides a couple of weeks ago, where you now have a theme setting to set the guide title as a "stacked heading", pulling in the title of the Guide Overview and the Guide Page. When used, however, it means that the guide title is then placed twice on the page. I got a snappy PR put together to fix that.
After adding some new settings to LocalGov Base a few weeks ago, we noticed some issues where our code expected, for example, TRUE as a result, but the subtheme config outputted 1. I've created a PR now so all themes generated from the subtheme generator, will automatically inherit the settings from LocalGov Base.
I got some nice work done on our 'Netcall Converse Queue Data' module. The point of the module is to bring data from Netcall's Converse call centre system into the admin/content area of a Drupal site so content designers can see what topics people are calling their call centres about. And then write content on those topics. Currently, we're just working with dummy data, but will hopefully connect it up to the Netcall API very soon. I've a demo version of the module on Drupal.org.
