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 #19070 (Resolved): Handling notifications backloghttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/190702023-10-20T20:17:08ZColin McDonald
<p>We talked on the community call today (this came up on the dev call Tuesday as well) about the large number of "new" notifications users are seeing after the release this week. Power users are particularly affected, and might have a string going back years.</p>
<p>The issue is how to allow easier clearing of these items. We might consider some threshold (a year or two?) after which notifications are marked "old" by default, as well as ways to make it easier to change the status in bulk. Could there be a select all option, rather than just selecting page by page? Should we have separate tabs for Read and Unread items or ways to filter to one or the other?</p>
<p>I'm including Luke here, who had thoughts on this in particular, and Sara and Ray, it would be good to hear what you think could be helpful from your respective vantage points on this.</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 - Design/UX #18919 (Resolved): Settings and Inbox Mobile Testinghttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/189192023-09-27T16:05:59ZColin McDonald
<p>As per the call yesterday, I'm setting up this ticket specifically for mobile testing feedback and tweaks on the Settings and Inbox tabs for the upcoming intermediate release. I have this as a subtask of the joint CV / Settings ticket <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> which maybe isn't the cleanest but seemed close enough.</p>
<p>We talked briefly about looking at how the Settings and Inbox tabs and subtasks stack in a mobile view and if we can adjust the spacing, improve the use of screen real estate, etc.</p>
<p>Sara and Ray, I'll leave this to your updates for now, and perhaps we can circle back on this with the other testers later this week.</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 #18841 (New): Downtime planninghttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/188412023-09-14T23:27:45ZColin McDonald
<p>In light of recent issues with our server, we'd like to have a more concrete plan in place should the Commons experience significant downtime. Let's gather ideas, next steps, and preparatory materials here.</p>
<p>As a starting point, during the last few meetings we discussed establishing a Commons archive or backup. We need to hash out what that would mean:</p>
<p>- What content would we save and what wouldn't we?<br />- Would we save full site/group configurations (members, preferences, etc) prioritize Library and Media uploads, etc?<br />- Where would this archive live, and how would it be updated/tested/maintained?<br />- What would be the plan for using this in the event of an outage?<br />- Could we maintain an external list of site/group admin emails for emergency outreach?</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 #15153 (Resolved): Main nav Courses link brokenhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/151532022-01-05T22:02:42ZColin McDonald
<p>Clicking the Courses top nav item on public or logged-in, it goes to a redirect and broken page:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/courses/">https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/courses/</a></p>
<p>Starting a new ticket for this one since it's so prominent, though I know we've had other nav item issues.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #12563 (Resolved): Homepage banner for COVID help/resourceshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/125632020-03-20T16:56:25ZColin McDonald
<p>Following up on the call discussion, let's get started here on a non-dismissible homepage banner to direct teachers to our resources for getting started on the Commons, particularly for distance learning right now.</p>
<p>Sonja, can you propose a design and location for us, perhaps based on what other sites are doing with these kinds of notifications? We'll tweak the actual banner language but I think we could use, "COVID support: Distance-learning help for new Commons teachers."</p>
<p>Here is a Google Doc I started to produce the page copy we'll link to. Thanks!</p>

<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 - Bug #12143 (Resolved): Order drop-down not changinghttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/121432019-11-25T17:08:10ZColin McDonald
<p>Moving this from the Commons team forum testing thread, I'm having trouble using the ordering drop-down in the new Courses tab. I'm on a Mac, and while it worked fine in Firefox, in Chrome (77.0.3865.120) and Safari (Version 13.0.3) I'm having trouble getting a new selection in the drop-down to register and load. The URLs for a new selections don't seem to load. See the screen recordings attached.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #12134 (Resolved): Site cloninghttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/121342019-11-22T18:32:45ZColin McDonald
<p>Hello, starting a fresh ticket here to consolidate our discussions on this feature for the spring 2020 release. In the group meeting last Friday we narrowed down our plan for this.</p>
<p>We want to focus on sites for now as groups have many more content types. And our main use case will be professors looking to clone their own sites, i.e. for a new semester's class. There may be a side use case where a professor clones their site for someone else (like someone teaching another section), but the main idea is that we're not doing shared cloning where someone can clone any site they'd like. There are a lot of technical and permissions issues there. The cloning will be initiated by a current admin of the site, and they'll be the admin of the clone (which they could then invite a new admin to).</p>
<p>We need to talk about what will and won't be carried over when cloning. We don't want people to have to go back and delete a bunch of things on the clone to get it ready, or of course for student content to be carried over (for privacy reasons, but also to have a clean slate for new students).</p>
<p>Other questions are whether cloned pages should be in draft form first or live, and whether plugins are carried over as well. Boone, do you have any opinions about those, or about how we might set cloning up as sort of a branch of the Wordpress Import/Export feature where you choose different types of content to be carried over?</p>
<p>Once we hash out a few more technical questions here, and anything else I'm forgetting, Sonja perhaps we could talk about how this might be best designed for people to make use of it.</p>
