Redmine 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 - 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 #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 - 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 - Bug #13149 (Resolved): Library search widget broken by new services platformhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/131492020-08-04T19:15:41ZColin McDonald
<p>Yesterday CUNY libraries a new "services platform," and the central change to me seems to be a new catalog setup that requires searches for library items to go through OneSearch:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://libguides.brooklyn.cuny.edu/newLSP">https://libguides.brooklyn.cuny.edu/newLSP</a></p>
<p>An unfortunate upshot is that this breaks the library search that we offer for the sidebar and other widget areas on sites like these:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://anth1105santos.commons.gc.cuny.edu">https://anth1105santos.commons.gc.cuny.edu</a><br /><a class="external" href="https://socy3304.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://socy3304.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>And a good many more sites. Is there anything to do to fix this, or is it perhaps too big a task and we disable? Not sure too if this affects other integrations with the Library, as it seems all links to the old catalog are broken now.</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 #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>
