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>Via ZenDesk:</p>
<p>Hello Marilyn,</p>
<p>The GC Music Program’s Commons website has an issue with embedded maps links. Here’s an example post with the issue:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://gcmusic.commons.gc.cuny.edu/events/concert-the-rhythm-method-string-quartet/">https://gcmusic.commons.gc.cuny.edu/events/concert-the-rhythm-method-string-quartet/</a></p>
<p>When you scroll down to "Maps," it says "This page can't load Google maps correctly." There's an option to select "Do you own this website?" which has information about errors, but I don't know if I can fix that myself.</p>
<p>Could you help me in fixing this issue? It occurs for all event posts on the site.</p>
<p>Thank you,<br />Joseph Vaz</p>

<p>Hi Joseph!</p>
<p>Thanks so much for bearing with my technological ignorance! Your Twitter ("X") posts look great - thanks for doing that! If you know to whom I could direct the question about maps not loading properly on the GC Music Commons event listings, that would be great! Here's a post as an example:</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 #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>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 - Support #9211 (Reporter Feedback): Auto-Role Setting in Forum Plugin Caus...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/92112018-02-14T16:10:01ZLuke Waltzerlwaltzer@gc.cuny.edu
<p>Two participants in the OER Faculty Fellows program have reported being confused why so many "Participants" users are registered on their sites.</p>
<p>Each of those faculty members is using the BBPress plugin, and our hypothesis is that the auto-role setting at wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress, which is automatically selected, is adding anyone who visits the site as a participant.</p>
<p>This site, for instance, has nearly 300 participants -- <a class="external" href="https://freequeercuny.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://freequeercuny.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a>. Here is one of the other sites: <a class="external" href="https://bmccsoc091.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://bmccsoc091.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a>.</p>
<p>We'd like to:</p>
<p>1. verify that it is the act of visiting a site that is adding someone as a participant, or whether there might be another issue<br />2. determine whether or not it is indeed the auto-role setting that is determining this<br />3. discuss whether it makes sense to toggle that setting to "off" as a default.</p>
<p>Laurie, Matt-- if I'm misreporting our discussions or missing any data, please correct!</p>

<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 - System Upgrade #8078 (Assigned): CommentPress Updateshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/80782017-05-02T16:59:09ZMargaret Galvan
<p>It looks like we need to do some housekeeping regarding CommentPress as we have, in effect, multiple versions activated because of how the theme/plugin has grown and changed its name along with updates.</p>
<p>In the past, you would activate the CommentPress theme and then also activate certain CommentPress plugins to make CommentPress work. Now, you simply activate the CommentPress Core plugin (<a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/commentpress-core/">https://wordpress.org/plugins/commentpress-core/</a>), which has a theme embedded. That means that we need to remove the out-of-date CommentPress theme, as well as these two CommentPress plugins: Commentpress Ajaxified, CommentPress</p>
<p>I have looked into these two CommentPress plugins on our GitHub install and verified that both were updated 6 years ago (cp-ajax-comments, commentpress), which verifies that they are just as outdated as the CommentPress theme (also updated 6 years ago). <a class="external" href="https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/tree/1.10.x/wp-content/plugins">https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/tree/1.10.x/wp-content/plugins</a></p>
<p>Additionally, we should update the CommentPress Core plugin. We are at version 3.9.3, but the most recent version is 3.4: <a class="external" href="http://futureofthebook.org/commentpress/download/">http://futureofthebook.org/commentpress/download/</a></p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #5826 (Reporter Feedback): Remove Subscription Options plugin fro...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/58262016-07-22T22:51:24ZSarah Morgano
<p>Since the Subscriptions Options plugin hasn't been updated in over 2 years I wanted to propose that we remove it from the directory and email blog owner using the plugin about replacing it with the Social Sticker plugin. We have a page in the Codex about the Subscription Options plugin, but nothing about Social Sticker. I'd be happy to create a new Codex page for it.</p>

<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?

<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>
