Redmine CUNY Academic Commons - Design/UX #19814 (New): BBPress Forum convert to blocks?https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/198142024-02-22T23:58:41ZSara Cannon
<p>I was looking into BBPress installs and the one on WordPress.org support forums uses blocks instead of the classic editor for posting. Would this be possible with our installation or would this be a heavy lift?</p>

<p>My name is Malkah, and I work at the CUNY Graduate Center's Writing Center. On our CUNY Commons website, we have linked our Twitter/X account so that our Twitter/X feed appears on the right-hand side of our landing page.</p>
<p>I am using Chrome, and although I can see the Twitter/X feed on my computer, my colleague who is also using Chrome, cannot see the Twitter/X feed on his computer. The same goes for another colleague who uses Firefox, and the same goes for my phone, which uses Safari.</p>
<p>Would you please let us know how to fix this issue so that everyone can see the Twitter/X feed when they visit our website?</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>Ned Benton asks:</p>
<p><a class="email" href="mailto:nbenton@jjay.cuny.edu">nbenton@jjay.cuny.edu</a> | January 26, 2024 9:20 am<br />Will CUNY Commons install any plug-ins that connect to AI services. I am thinking of this one but there may be others.</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://wordpress.com/plugins/ai-engine">https://wordpress.com/plugins/ai-engine</a></p>
<p>I have posted in NESRI an article about AI and slavery records. Here it is.</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://nesri.commons.gc.cuny.edu/artificial-intelligence-and-slavery-research/">https://nesri.commons.gc.cuny.edu/artificial-intelligence-and-slavery-research/</a></p>
<p>While this article reveals risks and deficiencies, I continue to think that AI could become a useful way to explain records of slavery at the individual level. We are working on a project we call NESRI 2.0 which involves adding several more fields to will enrich the interconnections between the 90,000 records that we have.</p>
<p>If we eventually do this system-wide, we have the challenge of presenting this to users. I first approach is to add a table to our locality reports that lists the families, in the locality specified for the report, with a link to click into the records of any family, so people in Boston can learn of families of enslaved people in the 1700s. But I also think that I can code the database to construct a test string that can be submitted as a prompt to an AI service to get back an essay about the family - the names and relationships and events in their lives and in the community when they lived. The service would have to have guardrails to not make up information.</p>

<p>From a WS ticket:</p>

Despite my efforts to modify the content, the sidebar editing option seems to be inaccessible, and I can’t update the preset from my Dashboard.<br />To provide further context, I have attached an image illustrating the specific area of concern. Unfortunately, I am unable to locate the sidebar editing feature within the editing interface.<br />I would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter.

<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 #19140 (New): Large project request for hosting on the Commonshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/191402023-10-30T20:22:27ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>We just received a message through Zendesk from a professor from Hunter's National Center for the Study of Collective Bargaining in Higher Education and the Professions. Their groups is working on a large project to share resources and is considering the commons as a place to host the project. They outlined a few of the functionalities they are looking for and it seems very robust and maybe outside the realm of possibilities for hosting on the Commons. I wanted to get your feedback on this initial message so I have a sense of how to help scope the project when we meet with them. I've asked Scott to join me in the meeting with them since, among other tools, they will likely want to integrate tableau and other external tools into the site if they decide to host on the Commons.</p>
<p>The Faculty member writes:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I run a research center at Hunter College and we are considering using CUNY Commons as the platform for an interactive site for access to our data by other scholars.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>Before moving in that direction, we were wondering whether the CUNY Commons Work Press set up will permit integration with Tableau, and allow plugins and customization.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>These are three functionalities we are trying to accomplish:</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>A repository for an interactive database which allows users to search and display values of the variables in our data set by school. It may also >display all of the data simultaneously in a spreadsheet if the user prefers. It would include links to download the data in different formats so that >researchers can analyze the data using their favorite program (Excel, SPSS, Stata, R).</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>I think we have a searchable database in the slavery index but not sure if this is hosted on the commons and if that was a special project we helped support.</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://nesri.commons.gc.cuny.edu/dashboard/">https://nesri.commons.gc.cuny.edu/dashboard/</a></p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>A data entry portal for users to update the data by adding or correcting any data points using a Google form or equivalent. The form would need to be >integrated with the database so that if approved by our internal quality control, the data would be updated automatically using the data from the form. >In addition, we would need the capability of pushing the form out to specified email addresses at predetermined dates/times for updated data to be >completed by institutional and union contacts.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>There may be a way to script google form to google sheet but obviously this would happen outside of the commons. But the google form could be hosted on their commons website. Do we know of any other examples of folks using google scripts in conjunction with the commons? Can we facilitate this?</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>A repository for current contract files (~880 pdf files; ~2.5 GB and growing) that would be searchable and could be updated via upload by users via >request #2 above. We would hope for a search tool to make all of the separate contract files searchable by the user (i.e. the user could simultaneously >search all of the contract files for keywords and results would display to the user the names of the files containing those words, or maybe even >passages of text with the keywords highlighted—like in Google Books).</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>The Commons can host PDF files, but I do not think we can make the media library searchable. But we could allow the creators of this site to upload pdf and create a taxonomy for searching for keywords and tags assigned to posts.</p>
<p>Moreover, is the 2.5 GB of storage going to cause space issues on this site? If I recall correctly there are no storage limits per site, but wanted to check in about whether the 2.5 GB ("and growing") is pushing the limits on what we can support.</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 - Support #18982 (Reporter Feedback): Sites missing pages, menus, icons, ba...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/189822023-10-05T23:52:11ZMarilyn WeberMweber@gc.cuny.edu
<p>Syelle Graves reports:</p>
<p>"Our websites are acting very strange across three browsers.<br />Our main site menu is sprawled out instead of dropping down, and the site homepage icon/banner is gone: <br /><a class="external" href="https://iletc.commons.gc.cuny.edu/we-authors/">https://iletc.commons.gc.cuny.edu/we-authors/</a> <br />These sites are missing most of the pages that we had in the menu, and the missing pages are gone from dashboard, as well, not even in a trash folder:<br /><a class="external" href="https://weauthors.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://weauthors.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a><br /><a class="external" href="https://8nsshl2021.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://8nsshl2021.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a> (this site also has no more image at the top of the site).<br />Is there some kind of bug going on at the Commons? I just noticed all of these issues today. I don't see anything new on redmine so I can't imagine what's going on. <br />Thanks for your help!"</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #18877 (New): Elementor updatehttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/188772023-09-20T20:35:14ZMarilyn WeberMweber@gc.cuny.edu
<p>Via ZD:</p>
<p>"I work with the TLC (teaching and learning center). We have a website on the commons at this URL: <a class="external" href="https://ourtlc.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://ourtlc.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a>. We're currently updating the site to work with new regulations. This site uses Elementor and Elementor Pro. Currently, there is an issue with the site. I've had to put it into maintenance mode for a bit. Elementor support suggests it's an issue with our version (we're at 3.12 while it's now at 3.16.2). I was wondering if there is any way for us to upgrade to the latest version of Elementor, since I can not do that on my end?</p>
<p>If this is not the place for these kinds of requests, could you redirect me as appropriate?</p>
<p>Best,<br />Hunter"</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Design/UX #17677 (New): Cataloguing notification typeshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/176772023-02-16T18:54:32ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es
<p>Following up on a recent dev call, here's a list of unique notification types on the Commons:</p>
<pre>
| added_reader |
| bbp_new_reply |
| comment_mention |
| followedpaper_comment |
| followedpaper_edit |
| friendship_accepted |
| friendship_request |
| group_invite |
| membership_request_accepted |
| membership_request_rejected |
| member_promoted_to_admin |
| member_promoted_to_mod |
| mypaper_comment |
| new_at_mention |
| new_membership_request |
| new_message |
| new_wire_post |
| pending_booking |
</pre>
<p>We can eliminate several that are related to Social Paper: <code>added_reader</code>, <code>comment_mention</code>, <code>followedpaper_comment</code>, <code>followedpaper_edit</code>, <code>mypaper_comment</code>. In addition, <code>new_wire_post</code> is linked to a feature that we no longer have on the Commons. This leaves us with:</p>
<p>1. bbp_new_reply - Created by bbPress for user A when user B posts a reply to a forum topic or reply written by A. <br />2. friendship_accepted - Created by BP for user A when user B accepts a friendship request that A sent to B.<br />3. friendship_request - Created by BP for user A when user B sends a friendship request to A.<br />4. group_invite - Created by BP for user A when user B invites A to join a group.<br />5. membership_request_accepted - Created by BP for user A when A requests membership in a group, and the group's admin approves the request<br />6. membership_request_rejected - Created by BP for user A when A requests membership in a group, and the group's admin rejects the request<br />7. member_promoted_to_admin - Created by BP for user A when A is promoted in a group from 'member' to 'admin'<br />8. member_promoted_to_mod - Created by BP for user A when A is promoted in a group from 'member' to 'mod'<br />9. new_at_mention - Created by BP for user A when A is at-mentioned anywhere tracked by BuddyPress. Notably for our purpose, this includes blog posts, blog comments, forum posts.<br />10. new_membership_request - Created by BP for user A when A is the admin of a private group, and user B requests membership in that group<br />11. new_message - Created by BP for user A when A receives a private message<br />12. pending_booking - Created by the events-manager plugin for user A when user A has created an event with booking, and user B books for that event. events-manager is <strong>not</strong> a plugin that we run on the main site, so this must be something that happens on secondary sites</p>
<p>Of these, a number are purely informational. 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12 A right-hand notifications pane could have a message that summarizes the information ("So-and-so replied to your forum post") and then links to that content.</p>
<p>Several of them have obvious follow-up actions. 3, 4, 10, perhaps 11. A right-hand notifications pane could have a link that points you to the page where you'd perform the action, or perhaps it could show you the interface for actually performing the action (ie, accepting the friendship).</p>
<p>I hope this is a helpful start.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Design/UX #17018 (Reporter Feedback): Analytics for Profile Fields & Feat...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/170182022-10-12T21:20:03ZSara Cannon

<p>Right now it is limited to projects that have been developed since CUNY began receiving OER funds from the state.</p>
<p>If we want to go further back (there are some open ed projects from 2011, 2015, etc) we can, but wanted to get feedback and discuss the aim of the page (e.g. are we trying to highlight grant funded projects or all open ed work on the commons?)</p>
