Details

When Installatron updates CORE, often fails to come out of Site Maintenance Mode (may want to do manual update). Jeff Young also does some support for this website and Center.

  • Customized BASE GT Theme instead of properly using a subtheme, only customization is in sites/all/themes/gt/css/custom.css.
  • Not sure feeds or ds modules are used. Though feeds may have been used to import faculty content in the past.
  • Database has "drup_" prefix, which may cause some odd errors.
  • Has a webform (rogue access request) that allows anonymous submissions.

Libraries and versions (to track separately from Drupal)

  • phpCAS 1.3.8
  • CKEditor 4.17.1 via CDN
