Redmine CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #19971 (New): Expected Group Forum Functionalityhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/199712024-03-13T20:02:46ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>A user posted a message in a public group forum at 1:31pm:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/cuny-manifold-users/forum/topic/upcoming-manifold-workshops-2/">https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/cuny-manifold-users/forum/topic/upcoming-manifold-workshops-2/</a></p>
<p>It was cross-posted on several other groups, which posted at 2:03. Examples are below, both groups are also public</p>
<p>COIL:<br /><a class="external" href="https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/collaborative-online-international-learning-coil/forum/topic/upcoming-manifold-workshops-3/">https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/collaborative-online-international-learning-coil/forum/topic/upcoming-manifold-workshops-3/</a></p>

<p>I received an email from the COIL forum at 2:37, see screenshot.</p>
<p>Two questions:</p>
<p>1. Robin (user) was wondering: Is this lag time between original posting, cross posting, and email typical and correct functionality? I thought maybe yes, since all messages have to be pulled through to each location, but wanted to be sure to ask.</p>
<p>2. Why wasn't the email I received from the CUNY Manifold Group, where the forum post was originated?</p>
<p>I received the email of the group forum post from the COIL group.This seems strange since both groups are public. I would think that a user would want the email to come from the forum where the post was originally shared.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #19966 (Reporter Feedback): Slow Load Time on Sitehttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/199662024-03-13T14:43:08ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>A user is developing a robust program website for a GC department. Right now it is on a dev domain and he plans to clone the site into the final domain soon. But first he is hoping to resolve the slow load times he is noticing on the site:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://lmistest.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://lmistest.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>-<br />From the User:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I am just getting really slow load times, and a lot of times, images don’t load. I was worried that I had clogged the site with too many images or something...</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>I have a lot of images currently uploaded to the site, especially a few big splash images, which I will ultimately delete, as I was just using these for drafts. However, we will be writing about 40 descriptions of projects we have worked on, and each one will have at least one (smaller) image, so I worry about the site slowing down even more?</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>I also worry it has to do with how many changes I made to the underlying theme (I’m currently using “Raft”)? I would really like to switch the theme to just a Wordpress Twenty Twenty-Four theme, but I spent a lot of time tweaking margins and padding etc. to make things look how I wanted them, so I don’t want to start from scratch… That said, if it’s an issue with the images, maybe the theme doesn’t have much to do with it?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>-</p>
<p>I ran the site through a free (questionably accurate) load time checker and it did report the site was very slow. Can you all confirm slow load time and help diagnose what might be causing this?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #19627 (Assigned): Private Post default Not working?https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/196272024-01-30T16:29:41ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I am working with a professor on this site:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://urb613sp24.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://urb613sp24.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>The students created draft posts last night but it appears that none of the posts were private by default even though the plugin is running on the site.</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://urb613sp24.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/edit.php">https://urb613sp24.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/edit.php</a></p>
<p>I am not sure if the plugin is depricated with new versions of Wordpress? I created a new post to test and it is created as public and when I go to change the visibility I am prompted "Would you like to privately publish this post now?" which seems like a different workflow for privatizing posts compared to the past.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #19617 (New): Tickets Missing from WS deskhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/196172024-01-29T17:19:57ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I replied to this ticket below (Ticket 4583) through WS desk on Friday afternoon. Now when I go to find the ticket in WS desk it is nowhere to be found. See screenshots.</p>
<p>This has happened several times that I cannot find the tickets I was working on and therefore I cannot check if they have been replied to. Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug or are the tickets archived somewhere that I cannot access?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #19400 (New): Images not loadinghttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/194002023-12-11T18:17:15ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>This is the LMIS test site I was refering to on the team call last friday.</p>
<p>The web desginer got in touch with me to report that he is having trouble with the images loading slowly or not at all and I am able to re-create this issue in firefox and chrome.</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://lmistest.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://lmistest.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>Are you seeing this issue? Can you look into why these images are not loading?</p>
<p>I have asked for more info about any plugin installs recently, but I met with him last Wednesday and the site was working fine. I will send any more info he can provide soon.</p>
<p>Thanks,<br />Laurie</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #18023 (New): Access Isssueshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/180232023-04-13T15:05:34ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>We are getting a few messages on zendesk about the Commons being down. I am not seeing any issues site wide however one message was about the Segal center website:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://thesegalcenter.org/">https://thesegalcenter.org/</a></p>
<p>I am getting the "The CUNY Academic Commons is experiencing technical problems. For more details, visit the Commons status blog" <br />when I visit this mapped domain.</p>
<p>Can you provide insight and/or help resolve this?</p>
<p>Thank you!</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #17834 (New): Open PDF in new tabhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/178342023-03-15T14:47:55ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi Ray, All,</p>
<p>I am helping with the CILC folks on this site: <a class="external" href="https://cilc.commons.gc.cuny.edu/heritage-arabic-ebook/teaching-materials/">https://cilc.commons.gc.cuny.edu/heritage-arabic-ebook/teaching-materials/</a></p>
<p>They want to be able to to click the PDF link (below the embed) and have it open in a new tab (and not download right away). I can't seem to figure out the right settings to get this to work as they want.</p>
<p>Any suggestions?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #17738 (Reporter Feedback): Using Hyper Audio Pluginhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/177382023-02-28T16:41:51ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>A user is trying to use the hyper audio plugin and soundcloud audio links. They are experiencing issues with this plugin and included the attached screenshot) (waiting for more info)</p>
<p>I also test this plugin with soundcloud audio here: <a class="external" href="https://classtestbmcc.commons.gc.cuny.edu/hyperaudio-test/">https://classtestbmcc.commons.gc.cuny.edu/hyperaudio-test/</a></p>
<p>I am unable to make the audio play when trying to use the plugin with Soundcloud, and I am unable to make a YouTube video play because it required the iframe embed code, which is stripped out.</p>
<p>Would it be possible to make this plugin functional with Soundcloud audio and YouTube videos? This plugin would be great for accessibility purposes and adding transcripts to audio and video</p>
<p>Thanks,<br />Laurie</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #17697 (Reporter Feedback): plugin requesthttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/176972023-02-21T17:09:54ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>A faculty member would like to have pop ups on certain pages of the site. She would like to test these two pop up plugins to see which one works better for her needs.</p>
<p>1. <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/popup-maker/">https://wordpress.org/plugins/popup-maker/</a><br />2. <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-terms-popup/">https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-terms-popup/</a></p>
<p>Can we install? Waiting on a link from the faculty member so we can active as needed on her site only.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #17258 (Reporter Feedback): Connecting Site to grouphttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/172582022-11-17T16:19:45ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>A faculty member is hoping to connect this group and site:</p>
<p>Site:https://intro2cwconroy.commons.gc.cuny.edu/<br />Group: <a class="external" href="https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/220-introduction-to-creative-writing-745070447/">https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/220-introduction-to-creative-writing-745070447/</a></p>
<p>The site was previously connected to another group and she deleted the group because she was not sure how to uncouple. I think the site is still reading as connected to the deleted group because the site does not come up as visible to connect to the new group.</p>
<p>Is there a way to uncouple the site from the deleted group so it can be connected to this new group?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #16682 (Reporter Feedback): User cannot see "My sites" https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/166822022-08-29T14:51:41ZLaurie Hurson

<p>A couple issues here:</p>
<p>1. The user has no "my sites" tab on "Sites" page when logged in<br />2. Site does not come up as linked to users account<br />3. Site is not returned in search in sites directory</p>
<p>I am not sure what is going on here but I think there is a bug somewhere in the linking of the site and user.</p>

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I have an inquiry from a professor about a resolution issue on this site: <a class="external" href="https://fonetica.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://fonetica.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>The site appears fine at first but then the Commons footers loads over most of the site. I think this might be a theme issue but don't want to un-install and reset the design of the site. Are you able to identify if this is a bug with the "Shuttershot" theme without un-installing? (if not that's fine). If it is a bug with the theme, can it be resolved?</p>
<p>I recognize that this is a pretty old theme so if not worth patching the bug, perhaps I need to source a newer similar theme for activation on the Commons. And even if we can resolve the bug, maybe we turn this theme off as an option for new sites?</p>
<p>(on another note, i think this warrants a review of our 65 themes, which i can plan to get to during the fall semester)</p>
<p>Thanks!</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #12438 (New): Site appearing twicehttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/124382020-02-18T17:31:59ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Instructor's site is appearing twice, see screenshot. Looks like both URLs are the same so I am not sure what is causing the duplication.</p>
<p>Site is: <a class="external" href="https://introsocmonday.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://introsocmonday.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>When the instructor updates one, both sites update.</p>
<p>On an unrelated note - and apologies for asking here I didn't know if I should make a ticket about seeing another ticket... I am a watcher on ticket 12428 but when i search for it, I cannot find it or see that ticket. How can i get access to private ticket 12428?</p>
<p><img src="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/attachments/download/13734/double%20monday.png" alt="" /></p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #11879 (New): Hypothesis comments appearing on multiple, different pd...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/118792019-09-19T16:36:30ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>A professor has reported a very weird hypothesis issue. I am not sure if this is a Commons bug or hypothesis bug.</p>
<p>This professor uploaded a PDF (book chapters 5-7) for a course in 2017 link here: <a class="external" href="https://via.hypothes.is/https://spa114fall171.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-content/blogs.dir/3395/files/2017/09/La-Frontera-5-6-7.pdf">https://via.hypothes.is/https://spa114fall171.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-content/blogs.dir/3395/files/2017/09/La-Frontera-5-6-7.pdf</a></p>
<p>This semester, the professor will be using the same reading (only chapter 5) so she uploaded a shortened version to the media library for her new course: <a class="external" href="https://via.hypothes.is/https://span2204.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-content/blogs.dir/8302/files/2019/09/Chapter-5.pdf">https://via.hypothes.is/https://span2204.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-content/blogs.dir/8302/files/2019/09/Chapter-5.pdf</a></p>
<p>*to view the readings page on the Span2204 site the pw is Fall2019</p>
<p>The problem: the new chapter 5 pdf pulls in the old comments from the original chapters 5-7 pdf. The pdfs are on different commons sites in different media libraries. It appears that both pdfs are stored in WP-content blogs directory but seem to have different file numbers and names.</p>
<p>I dont think this is a plugin issue since she was using the via hypothesis link, not the plugin to add the annotation layer on these pdfs. Moreover, when I installed the plugin on the Span2204 site, the pdfs cannot be read because the via hypothesis link is added to the pdf url twice.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #9289 (Reporter Feedback): Email Users Pluginhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/92892018-02-26T19:30:07ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Several faculty participating in the OER Fellows program to run their courses on the Commons did not want to setup a group and therefore wanted to send students emails through their course site. They attempted to use the email users plugin but it appears the plugin is not sending emails correctly.</p>
<p>The plugin has two methods of sending email, to individuals or to groups. Through the Individual send area an Admin can select multiple individuals. Through the Group send area, an Admin can choose a group to send to based on user roles on the site (i.e. Author, Editor, etc). Several issues have been reported from faculty using this plugin.</p>
<p>In the individual area, when several users are selected (using crtl key) only some students receive the email. The faculty members confirm this because once the email is "sent" the plugin reports that the email has been sent to 23 of 25 users. This has happened on the following sites:</p>
<pre><code><a class="external" href="https://bmccsoc124.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://bmccsoc124.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a> -- 23 of 25 student Authors receive email<br /> <a class="external" href="https://bmccsoc144.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://bmccsoc144.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a> -- 16 of 25 student Authors received email.<br /><a class="external" href="https://soc100munshi.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://soc100munshi.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a> -- Students are subscribers, only half received emails</code></pre>
<p>In the group send area, often user role types are missing from the list of groups to send emails to. This has happened on the following sites:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://bmccsoc091.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://bmccsoc091.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a> -- Author Role missing from Group area<br /><a class="external" href="https://bmccasnmunshi.commons.gc.cuny.edu">https://bmccasnmunshi.commons.gc.cuny.edu</a> --Author role missing from group area<br /><a class="external" href="https://freequeercuny.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://freequeercuny.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a> -- Author role missing from group area</p>
