Redmine CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #18739 (New): PDF Embedder Premiumhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/187392023-09-05T17:39:09ZSyelle Graves
<p>We have a quick question about the PDF embedder: Has the Commons team ever considered the paid version? We ask because we have a newsletter with hyperlinks that we can't embed. and it would be great to have that functionality, which I believe the paid plugin has.</p>
<p>The only alternative I know of is to use an embedded Google doc, but we don't do that because we would have to reformat all of our existing PDFs, which we’ve tried and found not worth it (tables and images take forever to convert from Word to gdocs). Anyway, we're just curious in general if the Commons has considered or would consider it, if it's not too expensive!</p>
<p>Hope it's okay to ask. Thank you!</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #18561 (New): Bravada https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/185612023-08-07T21:50:26ZMarilyn WeberMweber@gc.cuny.edu
<p>Juwon Jun asks:</p>
<p>I am in the process of building a new site and wanted to ask for your advice on choosing a theme. Our team was interested in this particular website (<a class="external" href="https://hindi.la.utexas.edu">https://hindi.la.utexas.edu</a>) and want to emulate the look of it. The closest theme I could find was Bravada, but once you navigate to a sample page, the content appears at the bottom of the header. However, the Hindi at UT Austin website appears to have the content appear at the top, replacing the header video and landing page text. Is this possible to code in Bravada, or another theme?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #18213 (New): Google Analytics 4 migration documentation for usershttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/182132023-05-12T15:40:30ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es
<p>Individual sites on the Commons can have their own Google Analytics tracking. See <a class="issue tracker-1 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Bug: StatPress performance & migrate to per-site Google Analytics (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/10722">#10722</a>. Since <a class="issue tracker-3 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Support: Google Analytics 4 tagging (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/13511">#13511</a>, we have supported Google Analytics 4 in addition to the legacy Universal Analytics. In Summer 2023, Google will be phasing out UA, so we should make some changes on the Commons:</p>
<p>1. Amend our help documentation to indicate that GA4 is the proper system to use, and to guide people on how to migrate their legacy UA accounts to GA4. Those users will then need to be directed on how to enter their new GA4 identifier in place of the old UA- identifier on their Commons sites.<br />2. We should change the language on the Commons dashboard panel so that it no longer indicates that both UA and GA4 are supported.<br />3. Scott, if you think it makes sense, we could build a system to build a list of sites using the old UA IDs. We can then either (a) email them, or (b) have something in the Commons (like an admin notice?) telling them to make the necessary changes, or (c) something else or some combination of these.</p>
<p>Scott, what do you think?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #18134 (New): Help site redesignhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/181342023-04-28T15:48:14Zscott vothscott.voth@verizon.net

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>On the community call today Anthony shared an idea that was suggested by a commons user about creating a set of plugins specifically related to site design. This could possibly be created by setting up a new "Design" plugin package.</p>
<p>The package might include: <br />A font plugin<br />A commonly used/easy-to-use slider plugin<br />Atomic blocks<br />What else?</p>
<p>Just throwing out some ideas above. Suggestions welcome, and I can do some research on plugins to include if we want to move forward.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #14394 (New): Commons News Site - redesignhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/143942021-04-28T19:30:21Zscott vothscott.voth@verizon.net

<p>I have tried with the Wayback Machine - for example: <a class="external" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090328021608/http://commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://web.archive.org/web/20090328021608/http://commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>The CSS is not resolving. I have tried the archive dates before the official launch, but I always get an unstyled page. After the official launch all archive pages style correctly.</p>
<p>Is there a way to see the actual site as it was back then? Even an old screenshot would suffice.</p>

<p>Hi Scott,</p>
<p>So I was recently trying to embed a Tableau visualization into a Commons site when I ran into a couple of roadblocks. I went to our Help Page for embedding from other websites, and it was helpful, but something we may want to add is that when copying the share link over from Tableau, you have to make sure you copy the link under "Original View" <br /><img src="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/attachments/download/12443/Screen%20Shot%202019-09-19%20at%205.40.11%20PM.png" alt="" /></p>
<p>It was only after that discovery that the visualization was fully functioning within the Commons. I attached (or tried to attach) a screenshot to hopefully show you what I'm talking about.</p>

<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>Here's the issue that we've been discussing internally:</p>
<p>We need to find a way to announce and keep a record of data quality issues. We're currently using the IR Director Listserv for this but a few days after a data alert has been sent out, people forget about it. What we would love to do is to have some sort of prompt to send out an alert email when an update has been made to only a single page (in this case, <a class="external" href="https://oirap.commons.gc.cuny.edu/alerts-data-quality-issues/">https://oirap.commons.gc.cuny.edu/alerts-data-quality-issues/</a>). The reason why I say a prompt is because we frequently make updates to pages before sharing them.</p>
<p>Thanks very much!!</p>
