Redmine CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #19076 (Resolved): Wordpress Pages to PDFhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/190762023-10-23T14:26:47ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>A new request from the creator of a the PIR journal site....</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://pirjournal.commons.gc.cuny.edu/puppet-research-international-1-no-1/">https://pirjournal.commons.gc.cuny.edu/puppet-research-international-1-no-1/</a></p>
<p>They would like to allow visitors to download PDF versions of the articles. I suggested they upload PDFs to media library and make them available for download. But they don't have PDFs...and are hoping to do something like this PDF download option:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://arabstages.org/?p=3473&preview=true">https://arabstages.org/?p=3473&preview=true</a></p>
<p>It seems some kind of tool is running the download on the Arab stages site, but I couldn't figure out the mechanism.</p>
<p>Can you look at this example and see if we might be able to make it possible on the PIR site?</p>
<p>Thanks,<br />Laurie</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #18099 (New): Using Tag Groups plugin to create tag group lists i...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/180992023-04-24T15:29:00ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I am using the "Tag Groups" plugin on this site: <a class="external" href="https://tlcassignments.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://tlcassignments.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>A few weeks ago Ray helped me with the front page boxed tag display, which is looking good, but I am hoping to refine the tag lists using the plugin on this front page, and within each post.</p>
<p>First question:</p>
<p>The Tag Groups plugin allows the admin to create groups of tags; in the case of this site I have grouped tags as either "type" or "feature" of an assignment. You can see these groupings in the dashboard in tags and tag group admin.</p>
<p>On the front page right now you are seeing how the tag groups shortcode displays "tag list" under "type" and all tags as a boxed tag cloud under feature. Ideally, I would like the tags in the "type" group to display under the "type of assignment" heading in the same boxed format that ray designed (same as category display)and the feature tags to display under the "assignment feature" heading.</p>
<p>Second question:</p>
<p>Within each post, I would like to use shortcode to auto-populate the "type" tags in the type column and the "feature" tags in the feature column. Ideally the shortcode displayed tags lists would be live links, so a user could see that the assignment feature "student choice" and click "student choice" to see other, similarly tagged assignments. These lists do not need to be boxed (as they would be on front page) a simple list would make sense here.<br /> Sample post: <a class="external" href="https://tlcassignments.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2023/04/03/documentary-analysis/">https://tlcassignments.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2023/04/03/documentary-analysis/</a></p>
<p>Does this make sense? Thanks for your help with this. I have poked around and tried various short code but could not get the tag groups to display correctly.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #17797 (New): Widgets in Pages for custom category listshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/177972023-03-08T18:34:10ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I am building out an OER TLC assignment library on the Commons. I will need to make the taxonomies and folksonomies visible to users so the site and assignments can be easily searched and navigated, kind of like it is here (bottom of page): <a class="external" href="http://teachoer.org/">http://teachoer.org/</a></p>
<p>On the TeachOER site, I used "widgets on pages" plugin that allows a user to group widget and use shortcode to insert. I like how the widget displays on the front end not just as a lit but as buttons. (I Think this may be the theme?)<br /><a class="external" href="https://datamad.co.uk/wordpress-plugins/widgets-on-pages/">https://datamad.co.uk/wordpress-plugins/widgets-on-pages/</a></p>
<p>My question: can we add widgets in pages plugin for use on this Commons site: <a class="external" href="https://tlcassignments.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://tlcassignments.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>AND/OR can you advise: is there a better way to do this now with the block editor? I can imagine making buttons with custom links to each category archive but I think this would be tedious. Right now, I see that the "category block only lists categories, and does not display them in a pleasing way.</p>
<p>There is no rush on this, I don't need to complete the prototype library site until April.</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 - 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 - Support #16851 (Resolved): URL re-direct?https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/168512022-09-21T15:13:40ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>A question from a user:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>We want to import the changes I've made on our new test site "ourtlc.commons.gc.cuny.edu" into our old site >"ccnytlc.commons.gc.cuny.edu."</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>I am wondering if it is at all possible to switch the URLs of these sites instead? The old URL is used in a lot of material at CCNY >so we are reluctant to give it up. I know this is likely not possible but I figured I should ask.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Would it be possible to set it up so that the old URL "ccnytlc.commons.gc.cuny.edu" redirects to the new site "ourtlc.commons.gc.cuny.edu"?</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>Hi All,</p>
<p>I was on a meeting this morning where the user was sharing her screen.</p>
<p>User: <a class="external" href="https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/members/towallp/">https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/members/towallp/</a></p>
<p>Site: <a class="external" href="https://towallp.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://towallp.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<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>We have a request from Brooklyn college about writing math equations on the Commons. They write":</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I’m writing because a professor at Guttman College, who is using the AC to create Math OERs, has reached out to me regarding their need to write math equations for their courses.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>Initially I advised they download the plugin “WP LaTeX” which they did. However that plugin requires knowledge of LaTeX coding. They are looking for a feature or plugin which won’t require coding to add math equations. They referenced how in Blackboard they can use "MathType" which allows them to easily write math equations on the website without writing any code.”</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>Is there a similar feature in AC? How have you advised other professors who need to be able to create accessible math and scientific equations for their AC sites?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I looked into this a bit and writing equations in wordpress using no Latex at all seems difficult. It's possible that if the professor turns on unicode on their own computer they may be able to write the equations in wordpress - see #1 here: <a class="external" href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-write-math-equations-in-wordpress/">https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-write-math-equations-in-wordpress/</a></p>
<p>The MathML block plugin might allow the prof to write HTML code to display directly equations in the post/page. But again, i think this requires code.<br />-- See #3 here: <a class="external" href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-write-math-equations-in-wordpress/">https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-write-math-equations-in-wordpress/</a><br />-- Math ML: <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/mathml-block/">https://wordpress.org/plugins/mathml-block/</a></p>
<p>This is how "Mathtype" works on Blackboard so I imagine this this what they are trying to recreate on the Commons: <a class="external" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gf7g3LrnuLc">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gf7g3LrnuLc</a></p>
<p>It seems like it should be possible but a few questions:</p>
<p>1. do we know of any plugins that add functionality to the Commons editor that would mimic what's possible in mathtype? I looked around and didn't find anything quite like it but hoping you all may know more.</p>
<p>2. Is writing in latex the only way to create math equations in the editor?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #16087 (Rejected): ZotPress not displaying Group Libraryhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/160872022-05-10T19:35:55ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I am trying to use ZotPress to display a group library.</p>
<p>Page where library should display: <a class="external" href="https://vp.commons.gc.cuny.edu/teaching-the-pandemic-bibliography/">https://vp.commons.gc.cuny.edu/teaching-the-pandemic-bibliography/</a></p>
<p>I am trying using zotpress shortcode to embed a zotero group library into the page</p>
<p>shortcode: [zotpressLib userid="4686060"]</p>
<p>Zotero group: <a class="external" href="https://www.zotero.org/groups/4686060/teaching_the_pandemic">https://www.zotero.org/groups/4686060/teaching_the_pandemic</a></p>
<p>When I try to embed the group library it says: "There are no citations to display" but as you can see from visit the group on the Zotero website, there are 10+ resources that should be displayed in the embedded group library.</p>
<p>I am wondering if it might be a HTML and/or server issue based on these troubleshooting tips form the developers: <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/support/topic/having-importsync-issues-check-here-first/">https://wordpress.org/support/topic/having-importsync-issues-check-here-first/</a></p>

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I met with a faculty member who runs the Lehman Lab for Social Analysis: <a class="external" href="https://www.lehmanlab.org/">https://www.lehmanlab.org/</a></p>
<p>She would like to move the Lehman Lab site onto Commons along with several of the websites for the courses the lab offers, linked below</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://www.lehman-guns-research.org/">https://www.lehman-guns-research.org/</a></p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://nycethnography.weebly.com/">https://nycethnography.weebly.com/</a></p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://foodhealthmigrationlehman.weebly.com/">https://foodhealthmigrationlehman.weebly.com/</a></p>
<p>These 4 sites are on Weebly currently but she would like to move them over to the Commons so they can be further built out and used each semester, in tandem with the courses that will now also run on the Commons.</p>
<p>I have looked online for various methods of exporting Weebly to Wordpress but the exporter that is out there (<a class="external" href="https://weeblytowp.com/">https://weeblytowp.com/</a>) does work in this case because the site are all pages, not blogs.</p>
<p>There seems to be another method for moving to WordPress that involves exporting an HTML archive of the site and then uploading HTML archive to Wordpress. However, I do not believe we have a way to upload HTML archives to the Commons (I think this is a security issue).</p>
<p>Moving these sites to the Commons will be a one time thing since, once they are on the Commons she will continue building out the sites in the CAC space.</p>
<p>Any suggestions for how we might export/import these Weebly sites onto Commmons (preferably avoiding a manual copy/paste method, if possible)?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #13915 (Resolved): Writing in Markdown Questionhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/139152021-01-29T17:35:06ZLaurie Hurson
<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 All,</p>
<p>I think this might be related to the issue discussed on the dev call yesterday and mentioned in the ticket <a class="issue tracker-3 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Support: two reports of Profile problems (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/12165">#12165</a>. I had some trouble following the specifics but I think I understood that its related to the deletion of users from sites or the wiping of the user roles on a site?</p>
<p>In this case, a Commons user is trying to access a site on which he is an admin. He can view the site in My Sites but when he clicks he is re-directed to the Commons page.</p>
<p>His user name is "fcanela" and the site he is trying to access is <a class="external" href="https://fcpd.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://fcpd.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
