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 #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 - 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>Related to <a class="issue tracker-5 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Documentation: GC Linux Service (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/16352">#16352</a> maybe? It looks like the updates to <a class="issue tracker-1 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Bug: Help Pages (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/101">#101</a> <a class="issue tracker-1 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Bug: Install Akismet Sitewide (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/26">#26</a> <a class="issue tracker-1 status-5 priority-5 priority-high4 closed" title="Bug: Group forum subscription (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/114">#114</a> <a class="issue tracker-1 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Bug: User listed twice in group (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/41">#41</a> <a class="issue tracker-1 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Bug: File Size Error on Upload (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/162">#162</a> <a class="issue tracker-1 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Bug: SPS Profile Field Description (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/128">#128</a> are still there, but updates to #52 (a bunch) are not, and weirdly I can't find that ticket at all now. Then there was activity on new tickets #16458 #16546 #16547 but all those seem to have disappeared now too.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #16499 (Resolved): Registration page 403 errorhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/164992022-07-21T14:02:01ZColin McDonald
<p>A professor's reported hitting somewhat regular 403 errors on the /register page, and her students have as well. See attached. Any idea what could be causing this?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #16495 (Rejected): Privacy/visibility restricts Hypothes.is linkshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/164952022-07-20T13:50:20ZColin McDonald
<p>It seems that when a site is changed from public to only registered Commons users, links like this no longer work:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://via.hypothes.is/https://wgs1001su22shaw.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-content/blogs.dir/22484/files/2022/07/BornsteinMyNewGenderWorkbook.pdf">https://via.hypothes.is/https://wgs1001su22shaw.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-content/blogs.dir/22484/files/2022/07/BornsteinMyNewGenderWorkbook.pdf</a></p>
<p>A professor is using the "https://via.hypothes.is/" URL prefix to open links to her PDF readings (uploaded to her wgs1001su22shaw.commons.gc.cuny.edu Commons site) in the Hypothesis annotation interface. I see the point that if I'm a Commons user clicking that link for a site that allows me to access it, I shouldn't be blocked.</p>
<p>But is there something about the link structure/routing here that limits being able to track my Commons status? If so, is this something on the Hypothesis side, or can we do something about it? Hypothesis has a Chrome extension and bookmarklet that also call up the annotation interface, and those seem to work fine with the higher privacy level.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #15133 (Resolved): No title and can't edit a curated sitehttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/151332022-01-04T18:43:59ZColin McDonald
<p>This is a minor issue related to the site curation ticket <a class="issue tracker-2 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed child" title="Feature: Featured Sites and Groups for Home Page Redesign (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/14179">#14179</a> we just closed out for the release (the other issues I mentioned there with descriptions/editing seem to be resolved) At the curation link:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=cac-home-curation">https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=cac-home-curation</a></p>
<p>I've added this featured Site:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://freedomdreaming.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://freedomdreaming.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>But it's coming through without a title or description, and I can't seem to click on the Edit button/link. See attached screenshot.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Documentation #15112 (Resolved): Screenshots of current/old Commons pageshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/151122021-12-20T20:25:10ZColin McDonald
<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 #14257 (Resolved): Numbers section on public homepagehttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/142572021-03-30T15:53:18ZColin McDonald
<p>On the public homepage, we need a Numbers sidebar (see attached) at the top showing total Commons Members, Sites, Groups, Courses and Campuses. Can/should we build a way to automatically update it with the latest totals? Excluding Campuses, which I imagine won't be changing much.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #13983 (Resolved): Site admin invites coming in as authorhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/139832021-02-11T19:49:51ZColin McDonald
<p>Another little bug, the invite users popup (the green modal) may be registering invites for an admin role as author instead. I noticed this on one site and thought I messed it up, then it happened again on another site where I was very careful.</p>
<p>Both of these happened when choosing the "invite others" button to pop up the modal at the end of a new site creation. I'm not sure if it's happening across the board with the modal or perhaps just when it's called up that way in the creation flow.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #13371 (Resolved): Show item folders in Library listhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/133712020-09-24T04:24:34ZColin McDonald
<p>Breaking this off of <a class="issue tracker-2 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Feature: Folder management tool for group library (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/12821">#12821</a> and our Sept group meeting discussion of the importance of being able to see item folders in the main/list Library view. Professors want students to be able to see at the top level how items are organized, and the folders that are active. Potentially one could click on the folder name to go into that folder's contents as well. Could this be a separate column in the list view, or something else? Sonja is a watcher here and said she had ideas about this.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #12065 (Resolved): Tinyletter in sidebar widgethttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/120652019-11-13T16:34:32ZColin McDonald
<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? I believe there's already some code out there from others, like here: <a class="external" href="https://github.com/frebro/wp-tinyletter-widget">https://github.com/frebro/wp-tinyletter-widget</a></p>

<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>
