Redmine CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #19422 (New): Model CV for Commons Release and Outreachhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/194222023-12-15T20:15:09ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I followed up with Zach after our community call today to clarify how he would like to contribute to the model CV we will use for Commons outreach for the next release.</p>
<p>Rather than using his own personal and public CV, Zach is available to help build out a model graduate student CV for us to use in outreach about the new CV features.</p>
<p>To get this going, a few questions: <br />- should zach spin up a new account to go with this CV? <br />-- If yes, should the new account and model CV be done on the dev site and then moved over to production? <br />- If we are using this model CV for outreach (and possibly documentation? not sure) what is the timeline on when this needs to be up and running?</p>
<p>I'm sure there are other considerations or questions I am missing so please feel free to let us know what we need to do!</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #18956 (Resolved): Forum spamhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/189562023-10-03T15:42:16ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I was looking through sites to feature and found this site: <a class="external" href="https://digitaloccultlibrary.commons.gc.cuny.edu/forums/forum/dol-forum/">https://digitaloccultlibrary.commons.gc.cuny.edu/forums/forum/dol-forum/</a></p>
<p>I noticed there is a lot of potential spam in the forum? Do you want me to contact them and ask them to remove? If so, can you let me know who the admin is?</p>
<p>Thanks,<br />Laurie</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #18815 (Resolved): Menu items not appearinghttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/188152023-09-12T19:57:38ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>Issue is on this site: <a class="external" href="https://johnjaytlc.commons.gc.cuny.edu">https://johnjaytlc.commons.gc.cuny.edu</a></p>
<p>There should be a 6th top level nav item titled "Wellbeing in our community" with two sub items. <a class="external" href="https://johnjaytlc.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/nav-menus.php">https://johnjaytlc.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/nav-menus.php</a></p>
<p>This section of menu appears in the mobile hamburger menu, but not on the full screen view of the site.</p>
<p>Not sure what could be causing this - the pages are published and public, and correctly inserted into the menu structure. As far as I can tell, there is no custom css on the site.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #18412 (Reporter Feedback): New themes for template sites & templ...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/184122023-06-26T19:17:21ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I looked through some themes today to see what options we have for updating the template sites. Below I have provided some info about where I landed on new themes for the templates. If you want to live preview the new suggestions on the template sites, just let me know and I can add you as an admin.</p>
<p>Teaching Template: <a class="external" href="https://teaching-template.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://teaching-template.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a><br />Current: Twenty Twelve<br />New: Tempo</p>
<p>This is likely the most important choice because I think this is the most used template.</p>
<p>Academic Portfolio Template: <a class="external" href="https://academic-portfolio-template.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://academic-portfolio-template.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a><br />Current: Academica<br />New: Puskar</p>
<p>I would also suggest we change the site name and name in the site creation process to "Faculty & instructor portfolio template" to discourage student use of the template. We have many students building portfolios now and "academic" is too broad.</p>
<p>Conference Template: <a class="external" href="https://conftemplate.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://conftemplate.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a><br />Current Sydney <br />New: sydney<br /> I would suggest we leave the theme the same because Sydney has changed recently and there are many new options that make it a great theme.</p>
<p>I can make all these changes because I am an admin on the template sites (except name change during site creation) Let me know what you all think and we can discuss before I change anything.</p>
<p>I am also wondering if we can get a report on number of sites that have used each template to determine how often these templates are being chosed during creation.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #17414 (Resolved): Embed Any document Pluginhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/174142022-12-20T16:43:27ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>We have a faculty member trying the embed and display powerpoint files on the commons (not from a link).</p>
<p>In the past we have used embed any document plugin without issue. However it appears this plugin is no longer working on the Commons</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/embed-any-document/">https://wordpress.org/plugins/embed-any-document/</a></p>
<p>Screenshot of attempt from today</p>
<p>Is there a bug in the new version of the this plugin? Or some other issue we might be able to resolve?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #17413 (Abandoned): Audio will not play on sitehttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/174132022-12-20T16:34:37ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>We have some folks working on an oral history project here: <a class="external" href="https://mbkoharchive.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://mbkoharchive.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>Most of the audio files work fine but there are a few that wont play. For example on the elder page, most of the files play except "Kevin Dantzler" and "Superintendent Dr. Raymond Sanchez" <br />here: <a class="external" href="https://mbkoharchive.commons.gc.cuny.edu/home/">https://mbkoharchive.commons.gc.cuny.edu/home/</a></p>
<p>Are you able to investigate if this might be a bug on the site?</p>
<p>The admins have also encountered issue with uploading a 119MB audio file - is there a file size limit in place?</p>
<p>thanks!</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 - Support #17208 (Resolved): Youtube video embeds will not workhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/172082022-11-09T19:18:14ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>Folks from ACERT are trying to add youtube videos on their site: <a class="external" href="https://acert.hunter.cuny.edu/">https://acert.hunter.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>For example, they are trying to add the video below to the faculty page.</p>
<p>The url is in the page but not embedding.</p>
<p>Page: <a class="external" href="https://acert.hunter.cuny.edu/2022-racial-equity-fellow-dr-alexis-jemal/">https://acert.hunter.cuny.edu/2022-racial-equity-fellow-dr-alexis-jemal/</a><br />Video: <a class="external" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMsSTvVH-74">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMsSTvVH-74</a></p>
<p>Maybe this is due to a possible plugin conflict? or another bug with the site. I have advised several times that they uninstall some of the plugins they are running on the site. Also the site seems to be running very slow for me. Do others experience that? If so, could this also be caused by the plugin load?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #16795 (New): Updating default themes on new sites and templateshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/167952022-09-14T15:22:02ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>On several of the dev/community calls we have discussed updating the default theme on new sites and the templates offered during the creation flow.</p>
<p>Current template sites are below. For Academic, Conference, and Teaching sites, I believe these sites (below) are cloned when a user chooses one of these templates. Is that correct? If so, if I change the theme here, will this update the default theme for any new sites that select the template?</p>
<p>Any new site default theme is Twenty Twenty <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/themes/twentytwenty/">https://wordpress.org/themes/twentytwenty/</a></p>
<p>Academic Template: <a class="external" href="https://academic-portfolio-template.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://academic-portfolio-template.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>Conference Template: <a class="external" href="https://conftemplate.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://conftemplate.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>Teaching Template: <a class="external" href="https://teaching-template.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://teaching-template.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>Looking at the templates again, I don't know if we actually need to update the themes for the Academic or Conference templates. Thoughts?</p>
<p>I think new sites and teaching templates would benefit from a new default themes.</p>
<p>Perhaps we make the new default Twenty Twenty Two to be consistent with Wordpress? 2022 theme is more appealing than 2020. <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/themes/twentytwentytwo/">https://wordpress.org/themes/twentytwentytwo/</a></p>
<p>For the teaching template - Colin - are there any themes that have been really popular for BK faculty teaching courses? In my experience a lot of people like the Radiate theme, but we may want something new since a lot of other sites are already using this theme. I will also start a new ticket with suggestions for a few new themes to add to the network.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #16658 (Resolved): Recover User Profile?https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/166582022-08-25T14:56:23ZLaurie Hurson

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>A faculty member writes:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"I was trying to edit one of my pages today and every time the Edit Content dialog box would freeze. You can add or edit content, but the dialog box would not go away. Also, there were no Visual/Text tabs. I have tried several times since morning with the same effect. What should I do?"</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Screenshot of make content are attached.</p>
<p>The site in question is: <a class="external" href="https://phil2101bcmgluzman.commons.gc.cuny.edu">https://phil2101bcmgluzman.commons.gc.cuny.edu</a></p>
<p>I was able to recreate the issue on the site; when I try to edit a content area on a page I get the edit content modal but it will not close when i click the "X"</p>
<p>This may be a bug with the make theme but it also may be a weird interaction/bug caused by plugins running on the site.</p>

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I have a faculty member using the make theme. She wants to have the main nav located in makes "header nav" location. She is hoping have sub-menus drop down from header nav (same functionality as would exist in primary nav location). However, sub menus are not dropping down as intended, even though they are set up. Site is here: <a class="external" href="https://phil2101bcmgluzman.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://phil2101bcmgluzman.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>Is this a bug or a function off theme? Would it be possible to allow/create drop downs from header nav menu location?</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>Hi All,</p>
<p>The folks at the GC Writing Center are working on building out a series of writing/revision resources on their website here:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://gcwritingcenter.commons.gc.cuny.edu/revision-strategies/">https://gcwritingcenter.commons.gc.cuny.edu/revision-strategies/</a></p>
<p>They are using the Bellows plugin to create the sidebar menu you see on the left of that page and other pages clicked on through the menu.</p>
<p>They were wondering if it would be possible to make some adjustments to how the plugin works. It would be ideal if the sidebar menu:</p>
<p>- highlights which page a user is on. <br /> Meaning if you are on RS argument, the background color of the sidebar menu highlights this page.</p>
<p>- show the the path the user took to arrive at each page. <br /> Meaning, at the top each page the breadcrumbs info shows the top level and lower level menu items that lead to that page. For example if I was on this page <a class="external" href="https://gcwritingcenter.commons.gc.cuny.edu/rs_ventilation/">https://gcwritingcenter.commons.gc.cuny.edu/rs_ventilation/</a> the breadcrumbs at the top would be "Home > RS Style > rs_ventilation"</p>
<p>I am not sure what our policy is on editing plugins for single use cases but these changes to Bellows seemed simple enough and potentially useful for other users.</p>
