You should start now on upgrading to 7.1.6 (first to 7.1.5). Then you'll be able to upgrade to 7.2. As always, make a backup before upgrading, even to a minor version.
OK, I got my embedly key and entered it in admin. Now what? I haven't really noticed anything special going on. Perhaps an explanation of how "embedly integration for autoconverting links" manifests itself on a Dolphin site, is in order.
Are you sure this is working right? I've already pasted links from several sites, and have noticed nothing special happening.
Not good behavior.
a few quick questions:
- regarding the new responsiveness, if we are using non-responsive 3rd party templates our sites will not be responsive. correct?
- what exactly is the "new confirmation popup" all about?
- I assume since they weren't mentioned, no upgrades to the functionality of the mobile apps was included in 7.2. correct?
thx in advance for a response and thx again for all the hard see more
You are correct, If 3rd-party template isn't responsive, the site will not be responsive as well. If you want your site to be responsive you need to get responsive template.
> what exactly is the "new confirmation popup" all about?
We get rid of build-in into browser JS confirmation popup, instead we used custom popup for this purpose.
> I assume since they weren't mentioned, see more
It is really really important to make it stable, see. Of all things we want your data to be preserved and transferred safely.
