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 - Bug #18846 (Resolved): Events page filterhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/188462023-09-15T16:37:23ZColin McDonald
<p>I'm having trouble getting the campus filter here to do anything:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/events/">https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/events/</a></p>
<p>The results don't seem to change no matter what box(es) are selected, and the total number of events at the bottom don't either. Or is this because these events aren't associated with a campus at all?</p>
<p>It's good to see 125 events popping up here, at least when I'm logged in -- there are only 4 when I use an incognito window -- though a lot of the 125 events are tied to individual classes and don't have a very broad appeal.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #18842 (Resolved): Launch/placement for accessibility contenthttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/188422023-09-14T23:50:57ZColin McDonald
<p>Thanks to Scott and all who contributed to our draft of updated info regarding accessibility on the Commons. The latest draft is here if anyone wants to look:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uNRR0YAFYdewr3u5RDtsaSK37MqIZ9P4Dg-DqTQQt4g/edit?usp=sharing">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uNRR0YAFYdewr3u5RDtsaSK37MqIZ9P4Dg-DqTQQt4g/edit?usp=sharing</a></p>
<p>As Matt comments in the text, we want to split the content in half, with part going on the Help site (which Scott is already working on) and part going on a standalone page on the main site.</p>
<p>Boone, can I create a standalone page using my Commons admin account and just adding a new Page in the Wordpress dashboard? Is it best for me to choose a certain template, copy an existing page, etc?</p>
<p>Then we've discussed linking that new page from a few places:</p>
<p>- In the footer near Privacy and Terms of Service (can I update this, or is it better for Dev to?)<br />- In the blade on the About page above Project Staff that links to Privacy Policy et al (I can do this in Wordpress)<br />- If that blade link isn't prominent enough, we could also put a link on About in the top section near (or as part of?) the Mission Statement, or put something more notable underneath Project Staff, perhaps above Site Governance with a sentence or two.</p>
<p>We've also talked about setting up a News post about this, but I'm not clear yet on how/whether this will reframe/appropriate content from the draft we've been working on or add a new spin.</p>
<p>We'll also link the new page to the help site pages and vice versa as a final step. Please jump in with any steps or ideas I've missed!</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 - Bug #17478 (Resolved): Commons downhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/174782023-01-12T04:53:15ZColin McDonald
<p>Just noticing this and wanted to report.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #17459 (Resolved): Dev site sluggish and not accepting my loginhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/174592023-01-10T16:22:41ZColin McDonald
<p>Is anyone else able to log into the dev site? I'm having trouble logging in with my dev username 'colinmcd' and usual password. It kind of takes the info and then reverts back to the non-logged-in view.</p>
<p>In general, it seems to be loading slowly as well. Tried in a regular and then incognito Chrome and then Safari window.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #17416 (New): Sunsetting Digital Research Tools featurehttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/174162022-12-20T17:21:03ZColin McDonald
<p>We decided during last week's dev call to sunset the Digital Research Tools (I believe referred to in the past here as the DiRT Integration category I just selected, but correct me if I'm wrong). The public URL for this directory is:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/tool/">https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/tool/</a></p>
<p>It seems there may be a bug here, as clicking "Show all users" for any tool doesn't ever seem to show more than one user, which is unlikely. Rather than fixing that though, we looked at Google Analytics for that URL (see attached) that suggests along with anecdotal evidence that this feature is rarely used.</p>
<p>Especially as Sara looks to simplify the profile layout in <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>, this is a good candidate to remove. You can currently access "My Tools" from this link via your profile sidebar (also see screenshot):</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/members/colinmcd/tools/">https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/members/colinmcd/tools/</a></p>
<p>During the dev call, Matt said that we should document this feature with some screenshots and perhaps a little bit about its original goals -- building community around users of a certain DiRT, introducing users to new tools, etc. -- and how the feature worked before we remove it entirely. It will be good to have as a reference, and who knows, maybe we revisit someday. Scott, I'm adding you as a watcher, if you don't mind taking this on.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #17102 (New): Universal footer revisions for ToS / CChttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/171022022-10-25T16:06:51ZColin McDonald
<p>As part of our Creative Commons licensing and display overhaul, we want to edit the universal footer that appears across all Commons pages (see attached for its current state).</p>
<p>The main issue is the four links that appear under the nav items: Help, Privacy, Terms of Service, Creative Commons (CC) license unless otherwise noted.</p>
<p>(Incidentally, we have another project we should resolve here to update the text at some of these links: <a class="external" href="https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/cac-community-team-project-planning/forum/topic/summer-project-review-of-commons-tos-privacy-policy-and-mission-statement-2/">https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/cac-community-team-project-planning/forum/topic/summer-project-review-of-commons-tos-privacy-policy-and-mission-statement-2/</a>)</p>
<p>I'm proposing we change the fourth link to say Creative Commons License Info, and then instead of linking to this general CC license page that we do now:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/</a></p>
<p>Instead we link to a new page of documentation that explains a few of the CC points we've made in recent meetings:</p>
<p>- CC-licensed content on the Commons is also subject to our ToS, which allows us to truncate, show excerpts, repurpose, etc as per the needs of our design and the Commons overall<br />- The overall Commons content philosophy and distinction: You own your content on the Commons, different than on almost any other platform or social network. Explain what this means, how you can protect/export/etc.<br />- You can change the CC license of your Commons content at any time, on a space-by-space level.<br />- You can also choose no CC license at all, later or during space setup, and retain all rights with the exception of the ToS allowances mentioned above.<br />- A section on CC licensing and OER, which would be related to <a class="issue tracker-2 status-1 priority-4 priority-default child" title="Feature: OER tag and CC licensing notification system (New)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/17101">#17101</a></p>
<p>This version of the universal footer would only show up on our "core" Commons pages, like the homepage and directories -- we will need to spell out what this core contains.</p>
<p>A separate version would appear for this footer on individual Commons site and group pages, which will have their own licensing decisions and display. This version could just omit the fourth link to CC information, to reduce possible confusion there.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #17101 (New): OER tag and CC licensing notification systemhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/171012022-10-25T16:04:02ZColin McDonald
<p>We discussed in our last monthly meeting an idea to better link the OER tag during course site creation (or later editing such a site) with our Creative Commons licensing options.</p>
<p>It was proposed that if a user selects the OER tag, there would be an inline message if they have no CC license selected (either during the creation flow or on the site in Settings if the tag is being added later).</p>
<p>The message would say something like:</p>
<p>"We noticed that you have tagged your site as an OER but no CC license is present. Please CC license the open content, or the whole site in Settings>Writing. To learn more about open licensing visit our documentation [link TBD]."</p>
<p>Let's talk more about the mechanics of this, but I wanted to get the general idea down here.</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 - Bug #16549 (Resolved): Strange updates with file attachmentshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/165492022-08-01T02:21:10ZColin McDonald
<p>Maybe this is nothing, but better safe than sorry - did anyone else (maybe if you're subscribed to all Redmine updates like me) see a bunch of strange old ticket updates from Matt come through on Saturday afternoon? At a glance it seems to be something about old tickets with attachments, I think?</p>

<p>As a final step in the newsletter plugin transition covered more in #11878 and <a class="issue tracker-3 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Support: Tribulant Newsletters update (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/11647">#11647</a>, I'm working with the CPCP (<a class="external" href="https://cpcp.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://cpcp.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a>) to put a signup box in the sidebar of their homepage linked to their new Tinyletter account. 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. Perhaps we can do a workaround or simple custom widget on this?
