Redmine CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #14287 (Resolved): Add Eventbrite Pluginhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/142872021-04-06T15:26:37ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>Can we add the eventbrite wordpress plugin to the commons?</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-for-eventbrite-api/">https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-for-eventbrite-api/</a></p>
<p>I think this will be helpful for users conducting conference registrations through eventbrite.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #14266 (Resolved): Jquery Emails?https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/142662021-03-31T14:27:24ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>About a week ago I started receiving weekly emails from the commons Jquery updates plugin, content below:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>-- Replying to this email will not send a message directly to the recipient or group ---</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>Greetings!</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>This is a weekly summary of the warnings still present on your site, relating to the jQuery library. These errors should be addressed as soon as possible.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>There have been no reported deprecations logged in the past week, maybe you no longer need this plugin?</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>This email was automatically generated by the Enable jQuery Migrate Helper plugin on your website Principles of New Media</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Other users have started asking what these emails are about. Is there a way we can deactivate whatever is auto-sending these emails or is this something we want users to get? I do not see an option in the dashboard area to unsubscribe from emails, and it would be need to be done o a site by site basis.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #14249 (Resolved): Loom Embed Issuehttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/142492021-03-29T16:09:36ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>Loom videos are working on the Commons but when you embed from the block editor + Firefox, you get an error message in the editor. In Chrome Password-protected videos appear protected in the editor and the correct password does not work. (Screenshots attached)</p>
<p>Important to note, this does not happen across all sites on the Commons. <br />Issue visible on:<br /><a class="external" href="https://8nsshl2021.commons.gc.cuny.edu">https://8nsshl2021.commons.gc.cuny.edu</a> - 19 plugins installed<br /><a class="external" href="https://conftemplate.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://conftemplate.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a> -0 plugins installed</p>
<p>Issue not visible on:<br /><a class="external" href="https://classtestbmcc.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://classtestbmcc.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>In both cases If you publish the page or post, the video works, but this error message may cause confusion for users. Is this an user-generated or browser generated issue or an issue that the commons team can resolve? If user-generated, I could write some documentation to clear up confusion.</p>
<p>I don't know if this is pressing since Looms videos do work, but wanted to flag this irregular behavior.</p>
<p>Thanks,<br />Laurie</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #14227 (Rejected): Missing Appearance section of Dashboardhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/142272021-03-24T14:50:21ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>A Commons user is trying to build out the SPS faculty community site and she is unable to see the "Appearance" section of the dashboard. Screenshot attached.</p>
<p>I was also an admin on this site and am no longer able to access the Dashboard.</p>
<p>I saw in ticket 12157 Colin was also removed as admin on a site. Could these be related issues to role changes?</p>
<p>thanks,<br />Laurie</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #14208 (Resolved): Loom Videoshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/142082021-03-19T19:27:32ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>ILETC, a GC center, is running a conference on the Commons this May.</p>
<p>Conference site here: <a class="external" href="https://8nsshl2021.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/">https://8nsshl2021.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/</a></p>
<p>As part of the conference, they are having conference presenters create videos with Loom and then embedding the Loom videos on the Commons. Loom videos embed easily and automatically on the Commons. This is great news, but also a bit confusing since Loom does not (as far as i can tell?) use youtube or vimeo for video hosting (the two standard video embeds for wordpress).</p>
<p>I was wondering if you all could take a look at the loom video and an example on the Commons to provide us with some insight into why it works and reassure the conference organizers that the loom videos will continue to work through May, when the conference goes live (i.e. confirm that this is a not a bug that will go away with any updates on our end).</p>

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I got a question in our workshop today that I do not know how to answer --- can Commons users write contents in markdown? They asked because "it would be great that it supports markdown so that we can write faster." Question coming from a math professor (if that helps provide background?)</p>

<p>HI Boone,</p>
<p>We are trying to estimate # of students in courses on the Commons for the 2019-2020 annual report.</p>
<p>Could we pull:<br />- number of users joining as "student" in Spring 2019 and Fall 2020 <br />- # of users on sites and groups with "courses/teaching" metadata in Sp 2019 and F2020</p>
<p>Would pulling these numbers be possible? Illuminating? If you think there might be a better method or data to pull to get a sense of # CUNY students on the commons, let me know.</p>
<p>Thanks!<br />Laurie</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #13706 (Resolved): Github embedhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/137062020-12-14T22:37:48ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I know the Commons typically strips embed and iframe codes but sometimes we allow for custom embeds on certain sites.</p>
<p>A professor is requesting a github embed on his commons site, message below --</p>
<p>"I am trying to put together a microsite to showcase my students' work throughout the semester. The site will be built in Javascript and deployed in Github Pages and I was hoping to embed or iFrame it into our commons class page.</p>
<p>The link to embed will be at: <a class="external" href="https://interactivedatavis.github.io/Adv-Studio-Fall2020/">https://interactivedatavis.github.io/Adv-Studio-Fall2020/</a> [interactivedatavis.github.io]<br />(currently it is just a duplication of last year's site, but it will be updated this weekend).<br />The commons link we would like to include the site on is: <a class="external" href="https://datavisstudiof2020.commons.gc.cuny.edu/category/posts/">https://datavisstudiof2020.commons.gc.cuny.edu/category/posts/</a><br />"</p>
<p>Can we allow this embed on his site? Let me know if anymore information is needed.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #13632 (Resolved): Deleting Files in Group Libraryhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/136322020-11-30T14:28:26ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>A professor who is an admin of a group would like to delete files in the library that she did not upload. Is it possible for a group admin to delete files that other group members have uploaded? If not, can we delete the files for her?</p>
<p>I think this may be related to the decision to forgo the creation of a item-level delete button in the upcoming release. This surfaces an important use case. As more professors use the library, there may be more need to delete individual items (especially the need for group admin to delete member uploads)</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #13578 (Resolved): ODP File type uploadhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/135782020-11-16T18:31:37ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>We have a faculty request to upload an Open Document Presentation ODP file. I think these file types are currently blocked from upload. Is there a way we can allow ODP files to be uploaded? Would we want to allow this only on a specific site?</p>
<p>I am waiting on the faculty member to provide a link to the site where they want to upload these files.</p>

<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I am in touch with two faculty teaching a data viz course this spring. They would like to join the commons to set up their course but do not have cuny email addresses. Can I provide them with a sign up code to allow them to join? If so, how does the code get created?</p>

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>A faculty member is asking about how much storage space is available for each site and how to know how much space they are using.</p>
<p>Typically, what is the storage limit for each site?</p>
<p>Is there a way to surface the storage limit to let faculty know how much space they have used? Blogs@baruch does this in the dashboard where the theme is listed, screenshot attached.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #11833 (Resolved): CC Image Pluginhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/118332019-09-06T15:28:33ZLaurie Hurson
<p>A new plugin adds the functionality to search and use CC-licensed images. This might be of interest and connect to our current work supporting OER and teaching on the Commons.</p>
<p>The plugin allows the author to search and use CC-lisensed images via a pop-up window in WordPress editor and the authors does not need to worry about copyright of images. This might also offer a space to add some pedagogical language about image use. something faculty ask about often.</p>

<p>More in this blog post in opensource.creativecommons.org</p>
<p>This is a very new plugin so we may want to wait while bugs are worked out - I got this info from an email on the WP-EDU listserv.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #11482 (Resolved): Page Authors on Sites create with templatehttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/114822019-05-21T15:31:04ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>When people select a site template (teaching, portfolio) during the creation process, the authors of the pages and posts on the newly created site are Luke, Paul Hebert, and I because we created the original templates. Is there a way to make the Commons Admin account the default author on the pages and posts of new sites that are created using the template?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #11131 (Reporter Feedback): Image Annotation Pluginshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/111312019-02-20T17:23:54ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Recently, a faculty member asked about installing the PRO version the plugin 'Draw Attention' (<a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/draw-attention/">https://wordpress.org/plugins/draw-attention/</a>) for image annotation for her art history class. The free version currently on the Commons only allows annotation on one image per site and she was hoping to use it for student assignments (30-60 images per site). The plugin does not have front-end annotation but rather requires the user to create the annotations through the dashboard area of the plugin. In the dashboard, users select the clickable areas for front-end users to explore. From what I can tell in the free version, like a post, a user chooses an image, adds content (annotations) and posts the image. Tested here: <a class="external" href="https://coursetest.commons.gc.cuny.edu/?da_image=123">https://coursetest.commons.gc.cuny.edu/?da_image=123</a></p>
<p>The plugin is fairly easy to use through the dashboard interface but its unclear whether users can annotate images posted by others (but probably not, like posts)so its possible that this plugin does not allow for shared/collaborative annotation on a image.</p>
<p>Just FYI, the PRO version costs $74/year for one site and $124/year for unlimited sites, but I know the Commons tends to steer away from paid plugins. Moreover, dashboard editing and non-collaborative annotation may not be not ideal for a class setup. I think front-end annotation might work better since having users access the image through the back-end and set up annotations might be confusing for students and require admin user status as opposed to author status.</p>
<p>I'm not sure of other tools that do collaborative image annotation (other than VOCAT). One possibility is Demon Image Annotation but this plugin might work the same way as Draw Attention</p>
