Redmine CUNY Academic Commons - Support #14842 (Reporter Feedback): Question about widgets and block editorhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/148422021-10-06T14:27:02ZGina Cherry
<p>I make extensive use of the Widget Context plugin to control which widgets appear in different areas of my websites. As I understand it, this plugin does not work with the new widget block editor. How can I accomplish this type of control over widgets in the new environment?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #12004 (Reporter Feedback): Notifications for spam blog commentshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/120042019-10-22T18:30:17ZGina Cherry
<p>You recently added functionality to the Commons so that the site administrator receives an email notification when a comment goes to spam. This worked for awhile, but today I noticed two comments in spam for which I was not notified.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #11545 (New): Twitter searches in WordPresshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/115452019-06-11T15:52:47ZGina Cherry
<p>We would like to display recent tweets from a Twitter search (e.g., #openpedagogy) in a widget on our site. Do you have any suggestions about how to do this? I've looked at the existing plugins and none of them seem to support this (they only support displaying your own tweets). I've also tried creating an rss feed of the search and using one of the rss widgets, but this has also failed for various reasons (feedburners not working or not supporting this type of feed). Is there a different approach that I've overlooked? Or is it possible to install a plugin that would support this?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #11511 (Resolved): Plug-in requesthttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/115112019-06-03T19:45:09ZGina Cherry
<p>Would it be possible to install a plug-in that allows you to include shortcodes in a widget? Here is one example that I found: <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcode-widget/">https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcode-widget/</a></p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #11451 (Resolved): 'Send to group' checkbox should remain uncheck...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/114512019-05-13T15:53:17ZGina Cherry
<p>1. If I uncheck the "Send to group" box and then save the blog post, my selection is not saved - the box gets checked again.</p>
<p>2. I unchecked the box and published the post, but it was sent to the group anyway.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #11311 (Resolved): Request for post expiration plug-inhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/113112019-04-10T17:39:25ZGina Cherry
<p>We use our blog for a number of purposes, including populating the "News and Announcements" section of our web site. Currently, I manually remove time-sensitive posts when they are no longer relevant. It would be helpful to have a plug-in like this one, which allows you to assign posts an expiration date: <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-expiration-date/">https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-expiration-date/</a>.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #10847 (Resolved): Select which blog posts are sent to grouphttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/108472018-12-19T22:33:14ZGina Cherry
<p>I have a web site connected to a group and would like to be able to use the blog for multiple purposes. Right now, it's being used as a traditional blog and group members receive email notifications for new blog posts. I would also like to be able to use the blog for other purposes (e.g., as an archive of faculty projects related to various initiatives). I do not want to email group members every time content of this nature is added. I'd like the option to mute these group email notifications by category. For example, if I had a blog category called "faculty projects," I'd like to be able to specify that posts in this category do not trigger group emails.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #8389 (Resolved): Gravity Forms +Custom Post Types plug-inhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/83892017-07-03T21:21:24ZGina Cherry
<p>I would like to request this plug-in, which would extend the functionality of Gravity Forms so that forms could generate custom post types, not just blog posts, as they do now.</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/gravity-forms-custom-post-types/">https://wordpress.org/plugins/gravity-forms-custom-post-types/</a></p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #7944 (Resolved): MailChimp plug-inhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/79442017-04-10T19:32:39ZGina Cherry
<p>I would like to request a MailChimp WordPress plug-in: <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/">https://wordpress.org/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/</a></p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #4751 (Resolved): Request for two plug-inshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/47512015-10-07T15:28:53ZGina Cherry
<p>We would like to request two plug-ins that will allow us to develop a child theme for our site without directly editing the functions.php file:</p>
<p>Code Snippets: <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/">https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/</a><br />Code Snippets Extended: <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets-extended/">https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets-extended/</a></p>
<p>We have tested these on our development server and have found that they have the functionality that we need.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #3998 (Resolved): Voicethread pluginhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/39982015-04-15T18:53:36ZGina Cherry
<p>We would like to be able to embed Voicethreads into Wordpress. I only see one plugin that does this: <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/voicethread-auto-embed/">https://wordpress.org/plugins/voicethread-auto-embed/</a>. Would it be possible to get this installed?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #3983 (Resolved): Bug in list category posts pluginhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/39832015-04-09T17:00:14ZGina Cherry
<p>The list category posts plugin should (or once did) support custom taxonomies: <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/support/topic/syntax-for-custom-taxonomies">https://wordpress.org/support/topic/syntax-for-custom-taxonomies</a>. Unfortunately, I cannot get this to work and I saw several more recent posts indicating that others have had the same experience. Could we get this functionality working again on our end?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #3978 (Abandoned): Newsletter plug-inhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/39782015-04-08T17:20:26ZGina Cherry
<p>We are interested in using the newsletter plug-in for a somewhat large email list (approximately 3 emails per week to 1000 - 2000 subscribers). Do you see any issue with this?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #3976 (Resolved): Emails to blog subscribers should be sent in HTMLhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/39762015-04-08T14:07:34ZGina Cherry
<p>We have created an ACERT group on the Commons and associated our blog with the group so that members get email notifications when we create new posts. The email notification is sent in plain text, so is difficult to read and does not include any of the links from the body of the post. Since the link to the full post is at the bottom, I'm guessing that most readers do not see it. Could we think about more effective ways to send these notifications? One idea that comes to mind is having the option to send an excerpt rather than the full post. Moving the link to the post to the top and sending the email in html format would also be useful.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #3669 (Resolved): Plug-in request: Collapse-o-matichttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/36692014-11-19T05:12:10ZGina Cherry
<p><a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/jquery-collapse-o-matic/">https://wordpress.org/plugins/jquery-collapse-o-matic/</a>. There is something similar (Text Expander) installed on the Commons, but the installed plug-in does not have any customization features and does not appear to have been updated anytime in the last few years. Collapse-o-matic has many features, and was last updated in October 2014.</p>
