Redmine CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #19990 (Assigned): Issue on About Page when logged in as super adminhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/199902024-03-15T16:21:38ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>I went to update our About page to add Zach to the Commons community team listing and ran into a weird bug, where Laurie's profile photo is shown on a modal overlay. I am experiencing this both on a regular browser window in Chrome and an incognito browser window where I am logged in a super admin.

<p>Hi all -- I wanted to find a site created last year -- <a class="external" href="https://cunydpi.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://cunydpi.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>I couldn't remember the URL. I noticed that when I want to Sites and tried to search, neither a search for part of the URL ("cunydpi") nor the site title ("Digital Project Institute") resulted in the site coming up -- instead, no results came up.</p>
<p>It might be worth double-checking other aspects of search (people, groups) to determine whether they are working, as well</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #19550 (Assigned): A few issues/questions around CV editorhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/195502024-01-18T17:19:39ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>Hi All -- I just made some updates to my CV, which worked well! I have some questions, though:</p>
<p>1. I added a cover image and now want to remove it. However, I'm unable to get my cursor focus to be on the modal, so I can't scroll to see the options to remove the cover image. When I scroll, the background of the page moves, but I can't adjust the modal to the point where I can see any options. Screenshot attached and I can create a video if needed</p>
<p>2. after I updated my CV (I had one in the system previously), many content blocks were noted as problematic and I was asked to try to attempt recovery. Is this expected behavior? Screenshot attached.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #19366 (New): Commons help email addresshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/193662023-12-04T15:15:33ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>Hi Scott -- thanks so much for all of the work you did to help us transition to a new help system. I know I'm being super picky here, but how big of a deal would it be for us to create a new gmail address that is <a class="email" href="mailto:commonshelp@gmail.com">commonshelp@gmail.com</a> as opposed to <a class="email" href="mailto:commonshelpsite@gmail.com">commonshelpsite@gmail.com</a>?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #19363 (Assigned): Continued HTML weirdness with forum previewhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/193632023-12-04T02:17:25ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>Hi Ray --</p>
<p>I was just writing a message to my class using the Visual text composer, and I saw again some strangeness in the rendered HTML in the preview</p>
<p>I had entered a few blank lines using Control-Enter, which produced the <br /> code in the preview</p>
<p>I then went to the text mode and switched back to the visual mode, which added <wbr /> tags to the links in the preview (which also showed up in the notification email)</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #16670 (Assigned): Group cloning message stylinghttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/166702022-08-29T03:08:53ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>Having just cloned a site + group, I find the visual styling of the completion message a bit confusing:</p>
<p>1. The links to the new site and group appear in a green box, where dark green words appear over a light green background. I wonder whether this meets accessibility contrast guidelines, and I wonder whether we should style it a bit differently to make it clearer that those are the links to the group/site one just created</p>
<p>2. Because of the contrast issues above, the eye is drawn to the "checklist" link. I think it's good to share this link, but I think it's a bit confusing to be taken in to the help section rather than the groups the user just created.</p>
<p>To remedy this, I would suggest restyling so that the emphasis is on the links to the group/site just created, with the link to the help documentation made a bit less prominent.</p>
<p>To mark completion, we may want to reuse the checkmark we show following a successful sent invite to a group. Doing something like that would allow us to put the links to the new group/site against a white background, but I'll leave it to Sara to think about design</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #16307 (New): Add brief messaging to accept/decline group membership ...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/163072022-06-27T22:13:20ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>This is not a huge issue, but when I decline a group membership request, I usually like to write to the person who made the request to tell them why I had to decline. Currently, there is no way to do that other than going to the person's profile and sending a message through it. we might want to add a space for messaging to the decline action, so that people receive the decline notification along with a rationale. But maybe this is too small an edge case to be worth of development -- I'd guess this happens only a few times a year</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #15604 (Assigned): Restructure Commons Group Digest Email Messageshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/156042022-03-11T20:56:34ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>I'd like to suggest that we review and restructure the digest emails. Currently, they include the full-text of the messages, one after the other. I think we should start off the message with a list of subject lines, each of which links to the actual message on the Commons. That will allow people to see, at a glance, the full set of messages they've missed rather than having to comb through a thicket of text to find each new message in a long email.</p>
<p>There may be other things we want to do eventually, like list tags. or, perhaps (and separately) allow people to subscribe only to specific tag-related messages (ie, as a member of a group, only receiving email notifications of a specific tag, like "Jobs"</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #13949 (New): Continued debugging of runaway MySQL connectionshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/139492021-02-07T00:47:10ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com

<p>Hi Scott,</p>
<p>Per our discussion at our last meeting, I'd like to create a page on the CAC that we can circulate when we tell people that they can now teach courses on the Commons. The page should have sections like the following (to be discussed here):</p>
<ul>
<li>Why Teach on the Commons</li>
<li>Getting Started
<ul>
<li>choosing a model -- group + blog? blog only?</li>
<li>hub/spoke vs. central site blogging?</li>
<li>onboarding a class</li>
<li>Setting up/using a group <br />*FAQ</li>
<li>Who can teach?</li>
<li>integrations (integrating third party services -- youtube, timelines, hosted media spaces, hypothesis)</li>
<li>Visibility</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Resources
<ul>
<li>Sample teaching sites on the Commons</li>
<li>digital pedagogy resources</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<p>I've cc'ed Luke, Lisa, and Paul Hebert on this. I think, Scott, that we'll be able to get you some help on this, but if you could take point on it, I would appreciate it.

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I've had a few people contact me to ask about where they might post announcements. I know we've talked about something like this in the past, but here are a few ideas:</p>
<p>1. A general area where people could post announcements. We could have a checkbox on sign up that asks people whether they want to subscribe by email<br />2. A craigslist type bulletin board -- perhaps done through a group, but is access more through the forum interface than through a group interface<br />3. A general group for announcements.</p>
<p>What do you all think? I think that, generally, it should be an easy to use space that allows opt-in subscriptions.</p>
