CUNY Academic Commons

While trying to duplicate the differing license issue, I discovered a bug.

The problem is we had some custom code to save the site license that was only meant to run on the frontend's "Group + Site" creation page. However, it ended up that this code was always running in the admin area, which caused the wrong license to be saved for the site license whenever a post is saved -- the site license would inherit whatever the last, saved post license was.

To fix this, I've removed this code:
https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/14d954ee8c424d75ec083734cf0995ba48ccbcef

And added this functionality directly into our cac-creative-commons plugin:
https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac-creative-commons/commit/6c9df34e6db132954ba49485c01d6848c1d589d0

(Boone, I've updated the ACTION_REQUIRED list because the cac-creative-commons plugin will need an update for the next maintenance release.)

For 1.15.6, I wanted to get the bulk management license feature working on the admin post management screen, but I ran out of time. I'll work on this for the next maintenance release.

Thanks, Ray!

Update to this issue. I think the original problem that I reported was also related to whether or not the CC license widget is displayed on the site. When I first noticed the issue, I was not displaying the CC license widget and as a result, the license appeared at the bottom of the main area of every page. When I added the widget in the footer, the CC license still appeared on the main area of pages that used a different license from the site, but appeared only in the footer on other pages.

I just saw this replicated on a site created by a faculty member in our open pedagogy seminar. The CC license was appearing in the main area of every page in her site. When I added the CC widget to the footer, we no longer saw the CC license in the main area of each page, but instead saw it in the footer on each page, which was preferable.

This may be more of a user issue than a bug. When you create a new site, you're prompted to choose a CC license, but it's not clear that there is a CC widget that should be included. I discovered the widget somewhat by accident. Perhaps there could be more explicit instruction for users.

(Sorry if this is not clear - I'm writing with very loud construction noise in the background and it's hard to think straight!)
