v2.2.0

Enhancements:

• Added ucf-external-stories shortcode for displaying the "In the News" stories that are listed on the homepage of UCF Today.

v2.1.9

Enhancements:

• Added functions for retrieving a news story's primary category (section) and tag (topic)
• Updated the "modern" news list layout to display the story's primary category (section), if available
• Added plugin version number to enqueued plugin assets for cache-busting purposes
• WordPress Shortcode Interface integration improvements:
  • Added missing offset param to WP SCIF shortcode registration
  • Fixed descriptions for sections and topics params to note that term slugs are expected (not IDs)
• Updated repo packages; added linter configs; added Github issue templates and CONTRIBUTING doc

v2.1.8

• Enhancements:
  • Removed usage of create_function() throughout the plugin for improved compatibility with newer versions of PHP.
  • Updated today.ucf.edu references in the plugin to ucf.edu/news/

v2.1.7

Enhancements:

• Added ability to override the default URL per shortcode, specifically so the main-site-stories feed on /news/ can be used.

v2.1.6

Enhancements:

• In preparation for a rebuilt UCF Today site, UCF_News_Common::get_story_image_or_fallback() has been modified to prioritize the custom thumbnail feed value when retrieving a story's image. If the thumbnail value isn't present in the feed, WordPress's standard media details will be referenced, like before, and the "medium" thumbnail size is returned instead.
• Updated .ucf-news-thumbnail-image class to force thumbnails to span the full width of their parent container (in case a very small thumbnail is returned for some reason).

v2.1.5

• Enhancements:
  • Removed duplicate hard-coded default feed url values throughout the plugin
• Bug Fixes:
  • Updated default ucf_news_feed_url option value to exclude "/posts/", so this url works out-of-the-box
  • Fixed handling of invalid feed results in provided news layouts: layouts now avoid accessing non-existent object properties when feed results return false.

v2.1.4

• Enhancements:
  • Added Github Plugin URI to allow for installation from Github plugin.

v2.1.3

• Bug Fixes:
  • Added missing default offset value in UCF_News_Config::$default_options
  • Updated widget markup to respect before_widget and after_widget markup defined in themes
• Enhancements:
  • Added http_timeout setting to allow for adjustment.

v2.1.2

• Bug Fixes:
  • Added some hardening to UCF_News_Common::get_story_image_or_fallback() to account for stories that may have an invalid $featured_media object/broken thumbnails
  • Fixed typo in plugin deactivation function name
  • Fixed WP Shortcode Interface registration
• Enhancements:
  • Added conditional WP Shortcode Interface preview styles

v2.1.1

• Big Fixes:
  • Added activation and deactivation hooks to handle default options.
