Redmine CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #19904 (New): New member welcome screenhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/199042024-03-05T22:04:29ZColin McDonald
<p>How can we go about editing the screen to which new members are redirected after registering? I think it looks something like the attached but haven't been able to get there myself recently. I wanted to explore making some changes to align with some of our work updating the invite modal in <a class="issue tracker-15 status-1 priority-4 priority-default" title="Design/UX: Invite Modal (New)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/19733">#19733</a>. Thanks!</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #19903 (Reporter Feedback): Accepting "login.cuny.edu" domain for...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/199032024-03-05T21:56:47ZColin McDonald
<p>Related to the invite modal update (<a class="issue tracker-15 status-1 priority-4 priority-default" title="Design/UX: Invite Modal (New)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/19733">#19733</a>) and Raffi's question about CUNYFirst SSO (<a class="issue tracker-2 status-1 priority-3 priority-lowest" title="Feature: Authenticate CAC using CUNYfirst SSO (New)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/19878">#19878</a>), I was wondering if we should consider allowing the @login.cuny.edu domain now for Commons registration. See the attached screenshot for what you get now when trying to register with that domain.</p>
<p>I mentioned this on the dev call earlier, and we used to reject this domain because <a class="email" href="mailto:first.last##@login.cuny.edu">first.last##@login.cuny.edu</a> used to be a username and not an actual email, but now I think that's changed. My @login.cuny.edu now forwards to my GC email inbox, for one.</p>
<p>Marilyn/Scott or others, do you have thoughts on this? Might allowing that domain cut down on support confusion?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Design/UX #18995 (New): Clarifying 'delete account' texthttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/189952023-10-06T23:06:22ZColin McDonald
<p>After discussing the deleted account problems in <a class="issue tracker-3 status-4 priority-4 priority-default" title="Support: Sites missing pages, menus, icons, banners (Reporter Feedback)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/18982">#18982</a> during the community call today, we agreed we should strengthen/clarify the text and prompts on the Delete Account screen in Settings.</p>
<p>I've attached how it looks/reads right now, though of course this will change visually with the upcoming release.</p>
<p>Boone, for starters, can you help us confirm the content types that will be removed when an account is deleted? Posts, pages, uploaded media, files in any Group libraries, etc? Is it easy to get a list of those?</p>
<p>Then we will figure out how much to say on the screen itself, while linking out to documentation that covers the other deletion implications. We should at least say up front that before deleting your account, you should attempt to contact fellow admins of any jointly-managed Sites or Groups to ensure they have re-attributed anything they want to save before your deletion.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #17769 (Resolved): Account Settings Tabhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/177692023-03-04T22:14:14ZColin McDonald
<p>The profile/account redesign will have several components, including those like Inbox/Notifications that aren't fully fleshed out yet.</p>
<p>We've agreed that the Settings tab is in a good place for Sara to submit assets for development though, so we can have this as a starting point for building out the wider redesign while she is away through April.</p>
<p>I'm breaking the workflow for the tab off into this ticket, a subtask of the main ticket at <a class="issue tracker-15 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed parent" title="Design/UX: Profile CV & Account Settings (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/17385">#17385</a>.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Publicity #16585 (Reporter Feedback): New annual report datahttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/165852022-08-09T19:50:33ZColin McDonald
<p>We hope to release an annual report soon getting back on our academic-year annual schedule that was disrupted during Covid. This one should cover two years, 2020-2021 and 2021-2022. To that end, can I ask for:</p>
<p>- Total number of Sites and Groups that we had on June 1st of 2021 and also of 2022</p>
<p>- Similar to #16355 from last month, overall total and by-role total of Members that joined from 6/1/20 to 5/31/21 and 6/1/21 to 5/31/22 (and understood that users can have more than one role)</p>
<p>- Also building off of #16355, I'd like to track all Courses over time since we launched Courses. In that prior ticket you provided this:</p>
<pre><code>[totals] => Array<br /> (<br /> [Summer 2021] => 38<br /> [Fall 2021] => 271<br /> [Spring 2022] => 199<br /> [Summer 2022] => 24<br /> )</code></pre>
<p>Would it be possible to provide the same for each semester from Fall 2018 (when I believe Courses began) to Fall 2022? And if I added each semester up, would I get (at least roughly) to the total number of Courses right now? In #12673 I asked for month by month course creation, but I think that's probably too granular at this stage for the Courses era.</p>
<p>We also looked at Courses in #13402 and I could pull numbers from there but I'm wondering if it's best to do a fresh query across all semesters since it's been a while since we looked at this, then it'll be easier to update in subsequent years.</p>
<p>Many thanks!</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Design/UX #15210 (New): Google Analytics improvementshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/152102022-01-21T23:17:49ZColin McDonald
<p>Sara's asked how she can see how often users are clicking on links in the various parts of the public/private new homepage. I'm not sure our Google Analytics (GA) setup is configured for this currently, and I pretty quickly hit my own knowledge and implementation limits on it so wanted to throw it to the dev team here.</p>
<p>If I understand correctly, we need to use the new GA-4 (as opposed to Universal Analytics or UA, see <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>) features to do this. I also believe we'll need to set up Events that recognize clicks in different areas of the page. I took a stab below at outlining the different sections. From here though, I'm a bit out of my depth. I think this is more of a challenge due to the dynamic nature of the link lists -- the URL of the link is actually less important, for these purposes, than if I clicked on it in My Sites or Activity From My Campus or wherever. It may matter that most of these links may not technically be "outbound" by GA's definition because they're still on the commons.gc.edu domain, but that's unclear to me too.</p>
<p>I'm not sure if we could tie different GA-4 events via CSS class to these sections or something similar, or if we need to append additional CSS or other code to structure this correctly. I also assume we'll be inserting more GA-4 code into the site, whether it makes sense to do that manually or via the Google Tag Manager service seemingly offered for things like this. GA-4 collects general events like all 'clicks' automatically, but nothing more granular without customization:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/9234069?hl=en&ref_topic=9756175">https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/9234069?hl=en&ref_topic=9756175</a></p>
<p>I'm also not really sure of the best way to track clicks on the more universal parts of the site, like the header (nav) and footer. There used to be a Chrome extension that was half-decent at this, but Google stopped supporting/updating that in 2019.</p>
<p>I think I'll leave it here for now, in the hopes that Boone/Ray/Jeremy have some experience to bear here, or can at least pick up the more technical parts of this thread. Let me know what else I can do to help steer and describe this.</p>
<p>One last thing - Sara would also like to be able to see how often the People page filters are being used, and which aspects are the most popular. I believe we set up something like this in <a class="issue tracker-2 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Feature: Track directory filter use in Google Analytics (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/11760">#11760</a>, but I'm not sure if it's still functional or how to find it in our Analytics dashboard.</p>

<p>Matt was wondering if there's a relatively easy way to grab screenshots for posterity of the Commons pages that will be changing when we launch the redesign. I thought Boone/Ray/Sara might know of a tool of some sort for doing this automatically. Otherwise, perhaps one of us could just manually grab shots of the homepage (public and non) and primary nav pages before we go live and store them as attachments in this ticket or some other safe place.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Design/UX #14884 (Resolved): Pronoun visibilityhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/148842021-10-19T18:50:24ZColin McDonald
<p>During the team meeting on Friday, we discussed whether the pronouns we added to profiles in <a class="issue tracker-2 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Feature: Add Preferred Gender Pronouns to CAC Profile (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/13347">#13347</a> should be publicly displayed by default, and whether we should (and can technically) add a toggle to change this.</p>
<p>I've added everyone from that prior ticket as a watcher here, and I'm assigning this to Boone for now, as knowing what's possible from a tech standpoint might help guide our conversation/decisions here. In <a class="issue tracker-2 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Feature: Add Preferred Gender Pronouns to CAC Profile (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/13347">#13347</a> we tied a lot of the display to one Wordpress display filter -- is it as easy as a toggle that targets that filter, at least for public display? Do we need to better catalog where the pronouns are appearing, on both the redesigned homepage and other public internal pages, as well as private/profile pages?</p>
<p>On the question of what to make the default behavior, we could consider making this clear during registration, noting under the pronoun field whether these are going to appear next to your name publicly or not, and that this can be changed in profile settings later.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #14256 (Resolved): "Latest News" feedhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/142562021-03-30T15:39:33ZColin McDonald
<p>The Latest News section of the homepage redesign should include the latest three posts collectively from:</p>

<p>With the group cloning release today, should we edit the yellow message over the Create portal? See below/attached for what it says right now:</p>
<p>NEW: CLONE A SITE<br />We added a new feature for signed in admins. You can now clone one of your existing sites (whether paired with a Group or not) after clicking the "Create a Site" or "Create a Group + Site" buttons below.</p>
<p>We could change it to:</p>

You can now clone one of your existing Groups or Sites (including a Connected Group + Site) after clicking any of the blue "Create" buttons below.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #12315 (Resolved): Add New Item flow for revamped Libraryhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/123152020-01-21T20:44:52ZColin McDonald
<p>Hello, starting this ticket per Sonja's request on the dev call to break it out from our main ticket <a class="issue tracker-15 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed parent" title="Design/UX: Consolidate Doc/File/Forum Attachment interface (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/3176">#3176</a> and focus only on the flow for adding a new item in the new Library design. We'll need to account for adding the different item Types -- File, Doc and Link i.e. external source -- and adding the metadata or content needed for each. I've attached the mockup Sonja did for this few revisions ago as a starting point. We'll need to add more copy I'm sure, but perhaps we clean up this mock first and go over any tech issues.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #12157 (Resolved): Courses slideshow access/planninghttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/121572019-12-01T19:32:38ZColin McDonald
<p>Hey Boone, I think my Commons account (colinmcd) may need access to these links you mentioned on the production site. Or I need access on the dev site, which might not matter once the release happens. I realized I wasn't quite sure where these links were live:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=cac_course">https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=cac_course</a> (find the courses you want to feature)<br /><a class="external" href="https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=cac_course&page=cac-courses-featured">https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=cac_course&page=cac-courses-featured</a> (enter the IDs of those courses)</p>
<p>If you just want to make this course live when we release, I can confirm that this has a featured image and we have permission to use it:<br /><a class="external" href="https://sochiphop.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://sochiphop.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>I am pretty sure that we can use this course of Krysia's as well, and it has a featured image:<br /><a class="external" href="https://eng110michael.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://eng110michael.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>I will have other courses with permission that I can add myself by Wednesday, if that works. By the way, what is the "ID" of a course, specifically? Let me know what else I can do here, thanks.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #12065 (Resolved): Tinyletter in sidebar widgethttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/120652019-11-13T16:34:32ZColin McDonald

The code provided by Tinyletter is below. When I try to add it as a Custom HTML widget in Wordpress, I'm told that the <form> and <input> tags aren't allowed.

<p>I set up this Course site for a professor, and then she signed up for the Commons and I made her the second admin account on it:</p>

<p>I'm listed as the Instructor in course results though, I guess because I created the site initially? How do I transfer the Instructor title to the other admin, ideally while keeping my own admin rights?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #11986 (Resolved): Permitted file types for group vs. site uploadhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/119862019-10-16T21:09:06ZColin McDonald
<p>Hello, I was looking at a separate project for Brooklyn College and noticed that in the Files area of a Group, media file types like .mp4 and .mp3 cannot be uploaded, while they go through just fine when uploading to the Media Library of a Site (provided it's under the 40MB threshold for each individual file). Is that by design? If so, I'm curious about the reasoning.</p>
<p>If it helps, the project I'm working on involves students uploading audio and video recordings from field work, and there was interest in a private area where the class could collect such files. I know that something like Dropbox or Google Drive would be a possible solution, but the Commons offers the ability to link directly to uploaded files in an external service like a podcast feed, which is also of interest.</p>
