Redmine 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 - Support #2233 (Resolved): Slider pluginhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/22332012-11-07T22:49:45ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com

<p>Hi Boone,</p>
<p>I think I just viewed cdev without logging in; opened a chrome incognito browser window to confirm, and found the same thing.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #1827 (Resolved): Domain mapping requesthttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/18272012-04-14T23:24:15ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>Hi André,</p>
<p>I'm setting up a portfolio site for the GC Provost and I'd like to have the following domain names map to <a class="external" href="http://chasefrobinson.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">http://chasefrobinson.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a> :</p>
<p>chasefrobinson.com<br />chasefrobinson.net<br />chasefrobinson.org<br />chaserobinson.net<br />chaserobinson.org</p>
<p>When you have a chance, can you set this up? And can you also let me know how to set up the DNS on the host so that it points to the Commons?</p>
<p>Many thanks!!!</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #1679 (Resolved): Remove password-protection from JITPhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/16792012-03-05T00:31:51ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>Hi André,</p>
<p>I'm happy to report that JITP is launching tomorrow. May I ask you to remove password protection from the blog? Many thanks.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #1657 (Resolved): Caching Issueshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/16572012-02-27T01:54:52ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>I was privy to another report of caching issues, posted in one of my groups:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I’ve noticed recently that my login will disappear fairly frequently — often when I click a link to another page within the CUNYMathBlog. For example, I notice (on the front page) that there are comments on the top story, so I click the “View Comments” button. On the subsequent page, I am no longer logged in (I noticed this because I wanted to leave a reply comment, but it requested my name/email/etc). I have replicated this on a number of pages (I log in, click on a link to another page on the commons, and it logs me out). I’ve tried it on both Chrome and Firefox on the Mac, and both give the same behaviour.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Given the other reports we've been having of similar behavior, I think we should investigate this further, and perhaps bring on others to consult (Cast Iron Coding?) if we can't solve it. Thoughts?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #1648 (Resolved): Add Password Protect WordPress Pluginhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/16482012-02-23T02:10:14ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>The JITP project needs to show a draft version of the publication to authors before publication. One idea floated was to add all authors to the Commons and add the to the blog. I think it would be easier and more simple to password-protect the blog.</p>
<p>Here's one plugin that would do it; I'm not attached at all to a particular plugin -- just need the simple password-protection functionality.</p>

<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> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #285 (Rejected): Check Commons mailserver configurationhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/2852010-07-27T13:29:23ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com

<p>Andre, since member sign-up has been an on-going issue for us -- notification emails sometimes wind up being caught by spam filters -- we want to review some aspects of the sign-up procedure. When you have a chance, can you check to make sure that the Commons mailserver is configured correctly? Boone says (and I hope he'll fill in the details below or contact you separately by phone/email) that there are certain aspects of mailserver configuration that ISPs look at when they're looking for spam.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #262 (Deferred): Ideas for Improvements to Group Docshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/2622010-06-13T21:17:10ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>Having collaborated with a group that used group docs extensively, I have these suggestions for the plugin:</p>
<p>-- ability to search group docs <br />-- ability to filter by contributor name<br />-- ability to filter by doc type</p>
<p>Matt</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #260 (Rejected): Possible synergy between Group Docs plugin and F...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/2602010-06-10T02:36:32ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>As someone who has been uploading a number of documents to a group lately, I notice a problem: when one uploads a document, one often wants there to be some conversation around the document, so that people can provide responses, revisions, etc. If the file is uploaded through group docs, that's not possible -- one has to go start a separate forum topic. If one attaches a file to a forum post, the conversation can happen there, but the doc doesn't get added to the groups archive.</p>
<p>I wonder whether we can address either side of this problem -- either by adding a button to the Documents page that says something like "start a conversation around this document," and that automatically takes the user to a create forum post page with the subject line already filled in with the name of the file, or by having attachments to group posts automatically added to the group docs section.</p>
<p>or both.</p>
<p>what do you think?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #121 (Resolved): Create Domain Aliasing for UserVoice Accounthttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/1212009-12-06T02:23:04ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>Hi Andre,</p>
<p>We recently bought an account with UserVoice (<a class="external" href="http://uservoice.com">http://uservoice.com</a>), a site that will allow us to gather feedback from our users and let them vote on possible new features to add to the site. You can check it out by visiting the Commons homepage and clicking the "feedback" button by the right-hand scroll bar.</p>
<p>UV offers us the ability to create domain aliasing, so I was wondering whether you could help me set that up. Instructions are provided on the attached screenshot.</p>
<p>Please let me know whether you will be able to do this and whether the instructions in the attached screenshot provide enough guidance.</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>Matt</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #68 (Resolved): Email Addresses for the Commonshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/682009-11-20T17:08:24ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>Hi Andre,</p>
<p>I was wondering whether you could create two GC email addresses for the Commons:</p>
<p>The first is a general address for the site:</p>
<p><a class="email" href="mailto:commons@gc.cuny.edu">commons@gc.cuny.edu</a></p>
<p>The second is a little more complicated. I'd like to create a help/support address, but I'm sure that <a class="email" href="mailto:help@gc.cuny.edu">help@gc.cuny.edu</a> is taken. We could go with <a class="email" href="mailto:commonshelp@gc.cuny.edu">commonshelp@gc.cuny.edu</a>, but I wanted to check in first to see whether there was any possibility of creating an email address on a subdomain (something like <a class="email" href="mailto:help@commons.gc.cuny.edu">help@commons.gc.cuny.edu</a>).</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for your help. If you have other ideas, please let me know!</p>
<p>Best,</p>

<p>I'd like to have some documentation of the use of our site wiki. This extension seems like a good option: <a class="external" href="http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Usage_Statistics">http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Usage_Statistics</a></p>
<p>I'll leave this unassigned for now. Anyone on the Dev team should feel free to take it on.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #38 (Deferred): Possible Upgrade to Sitewide Tags Pluginhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/382009-10-12T23:03:49ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>Boone -- i just want to note this as a possible upgrade to Sitewide tags:</p>
<p>I was just adding a link to delicious.com and typing in tags, and I noticed that the system actually offers a nice way of working with tags: under the tag box, it displays tags that might relate to your bookmark and tags that others have used. And then, as you're typing, it brings up suggestions from your own list of tags that might be relevant.</p>
<p>I realize that this would be very hard to implement, but it does seem cool, and I wonder whether there is any way of replicating its functionality in your plugin. How cool would it be if the plugin searched the text of the post and then came up with suggested tags?</p>
<p>Anyway, let's think of this as a pie-in-the-sky tag possibility. We have other, more pressing priorities, but it might be neat to think about this further.</p>
