ORION WEB contributions to LocalGov Drupal, summer 2024

LocalGov Drupal can reduce the cost of a new Council website by up to 80%. Totally free, easy to implement and built by councils for councils, LocalGov Drupal CMS is trusted by over 50 councils (October 2024) of all sizes throughout the UK.

In November 2024, ORION WEB has contributed towards a more stable and mature LocalGov Drupal codebase.

Localgov Drupal - November 2024

This month, we expanded the functionality of Service Contacts even more, as part of the Workflows module in the LocalGov Drupal codebase (Pull Request now merged on GitHub: https://github.com/localgovdrupal/localgov_workflows/pull/104/):

Additional admin menu options

We've added new menu options and a new hierarchy level for Service Contacts as well as Content by Owner:

New Local Tasks Introduced

New Drupal Local tasks were added to provide two tabs:

  • "Contacts" (/admin/content/localgov-service-contact)
  • "Content" (/admin/content/localgov-service-contact/content-by-owner):
Local Tasks introduced in two levels - level 1Local Tasks introduced in two levels - level 2

Drupal Operation Link

We've added a new operation link for every row on the Service contacts View:

Each "View content" operation link contains a dynamic parameter, the service contact's ID which has also been added to the View as a contextual link, allowing for linking to a filtered version of the content by owner View (/admin/content/localgov-service-contact/content-by-owner?service-contact-id=1):

We can't wait for an exciting end to Q4 2024 and looking forward to spending more time helping the LocalGov Drupal platform grow even more!
