Redmine CUNY Academic Commons - Support #19680 (New): JetPack https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/196802024-02-05T18:19:08ZMarilyn WeberMweber@gc.cuny.edu
<p>My name is Malkah, and I am a writing consultant at the Graduate Center's Writing Center. We are in the process of creating a newsletter, which we will send to our mailing list, and we would like to use JetPack since it is already linked to our CUNY Commons website.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, as our mailing list exceeds 100 recipients, we cannot use the free version of JetPack. I am writing to inquire if</p>
<p>1. CUNY has a paid subscription to JetPack, which we can access.<br />2. If CUNY does not have a paid subscription to JetPack, can we at the Writing Center purchase this subscription and still have JetPack linked to our CUNY Commons website?</p>
<p>Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.</p>

<p>From Indranil Choudhury, Via ZendesK:</p>
<p>I'm working with CITE CUNY<<a class="external" href="https://computinged.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://computinged.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a>> and I've encountered a few issues that I haven't had luck solving. [note from Marilyn - first issue is a separate ticket]</p>
<p>2. When using the Elementor builder with the Elementor Hello theme, when I try to apply a site kit, I get an error. This seems to be a common issue, and the solution is outlined here<<a class="external" href="https://element.how/elementor-kit-something-went-wrong/&gt;">https://element.how/elementor-kit-something-went-wrong/&gt;</a>, but I don't think I can access those settings.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #17655 (New): Broken Link Checker improperly scanning unpublished postshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/176552023-02-13T18:03:17ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es

<blockquote>
<p>Strange update: One of my sites is now sending me e-mail alerts for broken links found in unpublished pages, even though I have the settings set not to check page drafts. I apologize for complaining about the opposite problem, but the system continues to regenerate these emails, so each time I receive the erroneous email, I think that there are new links I need to fix. (I have these links in an unpublished page because I need to store former links/link history there). If this unexpected behavior is something you could look into at some point, I would really appreciate it--and perhaps this info will help with the whole puzzle?</p>
<p>Here is the link to the unpublished page that is sending me broken link checker e-mail notifications <a class="external" href="https://syellegraves.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/post.php?post=7&action=edit&classic-editor">https://syellegraves.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/post.php?post=7&action=edit&classic-editor</a></p>
</blockquote> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #16540 (Reporter Feedback): Resolution Size Issue with Shuttershot themehttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/165402022-07-27T16:14:04ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I have an inquiry from a professor about a resolution issue on this site: <a class="external" href="https://fonetica.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://fonetica.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>The site appears fine at first but then the Commons footers loads over most of the site. I think this might be a theme issue but don't want to un-install and reset the design of the site. Are you able to identify if this is a bug with the "Shuttershot" theme without un-installing? (if not that's fine). If it is a bug with the theme, can it be resolved?</p>
<p>I recognize that this is a pretty old theme so if not worth patching the bug, perhaps I need to source a newer similar theme for activation on the Commons. And even if we can resolve the bug, maybe we turn this theme off as an option for new sites?</p>
<p>(on another note, i think this warrants a review of our 65 themes, which i can plan to get to during the fall semester)</p>
<p>Thanks!</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #16314 (New): Install Multicollab plug-in?https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/163142022-06-28T21:52:14ZRaffi Khatchadourianraffi.khatchadourian@hunter.cuny.edu
<p>Seems useful for editing. What do you think?</p>

<p>On Nov 9 and Nov 23, as part of regular maintenance updates, I tried updating Elementor from version 3.4.4 to the latest version (3.4.6 or 3.4.8). Both times, the Commons database was brought to a halt by an influx of database connections, within minutes.</p>
<p>See <a class="external" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/14986">https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/14986</a>, <a class="external" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/14951">https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/14951</a></p>
<p>Effective immediately, I won't be updating Elementor anymore during regular maintenance updates. Specifically, I will add it to the list of blocked plugins in my wp-cli-cac update tools. Ray, if you have your own version of these tools, please do the same.</p>
<p>The next time Elementor is updated to a new major version, say 3.5, I might consider trying the update again in isolation. I'll leave this ticket open for further investigation.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #12573 (New): CommentPress Core Issueshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/125732020-03-24T17:51:05Zscott vothscott.voth@verizon.net
<p>I have retested following the release and there are still some issues:</p>
<ol>
<li>the footer is does not display correctly</li>
<li>"Create A New Doc" goes to create a new group/site/group+site (Special Pages)</li>
<li> Site Home goes to CAC Homepage (Special Pages)</li>
<li>Recently Active button shows all Commons members who are recently active</li>
<li>Who is Online shows all Commons members who are online</li>
<li>If you change the theme to a non commentpress theme, and try to change back, you can only change to Comment Default theme, not the Modern theme (you have to deactivate plugin and reactivate to get to the Modern theme again)</li>
</ol>
<p>Most of these are not terribly serious, and the plugin still works, but it would be nice to get them fixed in the future, when there is time.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #11788 (Reporter Feedback): Plugin Request - Browse Aloudhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/117882019-08-25T13:23:14Zscott vothscott.voth@verizon.net

<p>Just logged a long request triggered by a cron job in twitter-mentions-as-comments. It appears that the plugin does an hourly check that involves pulling up every single post on the site. This can take a very long time when a site has many posts. The plugin has no obvious internal mechanism for dividing this process into batches.</p>
<p>The plugin hasn't been updated in 5 years, so we might consider disabling it. Here are the sites where it's running:</p>

<p>I'll start by putting 15 minutes in to see if I can rewrite the plugin to use separate cron tasks for each post.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #8211 (New): Theme Suggestions: Material Design-Inspired Themeshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/82112017-05-30T16:07:25ZMargaret Galvan
<p>As part of my Theme Assessment (<a class="external" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/7828">https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/7828</a>), I am identifying and suggesting new themes for the Commons to adopt.</p>
<p>In this thread, I am suggesting recently updated themes found in the WordPress.org repository that are built off of Google's Material Design: <a class="external" href="https://material.io/guidelines/">https://material.io/guidelines/</a><br />To note, all of these themes are responsive, and Material Design thoughtfully approaches accessibility, which Luke wanted me to prioritize: <a class="external" href="https://material.io/guidelines/usability/accessibility.html">https://material.io/guidelines/usability/accessibility.html</a></p>
<p>The first definite suggestion is <strong>Materialize</strong>, which DH scholar Anastasia Salter has adopted for a web project, as she discusses here: <a class="external" href="http://www.chronicle.com/blogs/profhacker/thinking-digital-with-external-review-materials/64127">http://www.chronicle.com/blogs/profhacker/thinking-digital-with-external-review-materials/64127</a><br />Here's the theme info: <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/themes/materialize/">https://wordpress.org/themes/materialize/</a></p>
<p>Some other potential suggestions:<br /><strong>Teslata</strong> <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/themes/teslata/">https://wordpress.org/themes/teslata/</a><br /><strong>Sirius Lite</strong> <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/themes/sirius-lite/">https://wordpress.org/themes/sirius-lite/</a><br /><strong>SEO WP</strong> <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/themes/seo-wp/">https://wordpress.org/themes/seo-wp/</a><br /><strong>CPMmagz</strong> <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/themes/cpmmagz/">https://wordpress.org/themes/cpmmagz/</a><br /><strong>Hestia</strong> <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/themes/hestia/">https://wordpress.org/themes/hestia/</a></p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #6356 (Reporter Feedback): Should Subscribe2 be deprecated?https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/63562016-10-19T14:36:44ZLuke Waltzerlwaltzer@gc.cuny.edu
<p>We might want to investigate the Subscribe 2 plugin... these users -- <a class="external" href="https://jitp.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/admin.php?page=s2_tools">https://jitp.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/admin.php?page=s2_tools</a> -- don't look real.</p>
<p>Don't think it causes much harm, but we might look to see if this plugin is being utilized on the Commons and deprecate if not. Could be part of a larger effort to identify best methods for facilitating notification of new posts and push users towards that solution.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #4986 (Assigned): Prepare documentation for Zendesk re web widgethttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/49862015-12-07T19:35:30ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>Per ticket 3660, we will have to use the Zendesk web widget starting Nov 2016. Ray told me that the team did not like that widget due to its lack of customization. Can we use this ticket to prepare a complaint/feature request that I can pass on to Zendesk? Thank you.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #3492 (Assigned): Add CBOX theme to the Commonshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/34922014-09-24T23:47:25Zscott vothscott.voth@verizon.net
<p>I was wondering if we want to have the CBOX theme as a choice for members on the Commons. Not sure if this would cause any difficulties, since it is a BP theme... Maybe with the sitewide wiki and its widgets (which we could also as a plugin option)?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #412 (Assigned): Featured Themeshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/4122010-11-23T19:13:51ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>I'd like to make the process of choosing themes easier for our bloggers. Is there a way that we could mark/tag some themes as "featured" and then offer bloggers the chance to choose from them instead of having to slog through the entire repository?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #364 (New): Bulletin Boardhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/3642010-10-06T03:58:00ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<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>
