Redmine CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #19431 (New): cc'd people don't show up on Help tickets! https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/194312023-12-18T17:14:51ZMarilyn WeberMweber@gc.cuny.eduCUNY Academic Commons - Bug #10678 (Reporter Feedback): Newsletter Plugin Not Sending Out Newslet...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/106782018-11-08T02:56:19ZMark Webb
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>The Newletter plugin for the CPCP website (<a class="external" href="https://cpcp.commons.gc.cuny.edu">https://cpcp.commons.gc.cuny.edu</a>) is again having issues. Newsletters are not sending out. You then have to go in and manually run the queue but this takes forever and stops on its own unless you go back and run again. Any idea what is happening? Is it related to the WP Cron? How can we fix it? Thanks,</p>

<p>Hi Boone,</p>
<p>I'm trying to produce a grant report and get a sense of some CAC numbers. When I click on "Sites" in the nav bar, I see two different numbers 1575 in the "All Sites" tab and 2263 in the Viewing x of x info line.</p>
<p>Which is correct, and is this evidence of a bug of some kind? Or does it just reflect something like private/hidden sites that I can see as a super-admin?</p>
<p>Marking this as high priority only because I'm trying to get the report in and would appreciate a quick answer if at all possible.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #3230 (Assigned): Scripts for quicker provisioning/updating of de...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/32302014-05-28T13:42:42ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es
<p>As the Commons team grows, more people are faced with the task of creating a local enviroment that mirrors the Commons for their development work. This is currently not an easy task. At a high level, you have to:</p>
<p>- make sure that a *AMP environment is running on your computer, and is roughly compatible with the server software running on the Commons production server<br />- clone the Commons repo<br />- download and import some version of the Commons database into your own local database<br />- do a bunch of wizardry to ensure that either you can switch your local environment to self-identify as 'commons.gc.cuny.edu', or to swap out with a local dev URL like 'commons.local.dev' or 'local.cicdev.com'<br />- maybe get some representative piece of the data at wp-content/blogs.dir/</p>
<p>Each of these steps is fraught with issues about data integrity, implementation details, and various, unpleasant gotchas.</p>
<p>Let's start to work toward something a bit more organized. I'm going to suggest the following as a starting point:</p>
<p>- Let's use Vagrant for VM management, since it's pretty widely used in the WP community<br />- Pick a provisioning tool - bash, Puppet, Salt, Chef, etc - for doing environment provisioning. I don't have a ton of experience here, so if anyone has thoughts, please jump in<br />- Write the necessary provisioning scripts to mirror the Commons fairly well (keeping in mind that we don't control the Commons environment directly, and that the Commons runs RHEL, which means we'll need to use a pretty-close free alternative OS)<br />- Write some scripts to handle fetching recent versions of Commons data, including a "cleaned-up" version of production data (I'll open a separate ticket for this)</p>
<p>I think this would be a cool summer project. Dom, I'm going to assign to you for the moment, as it seems up your alley, and ask you to give your initial thoughts.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #481 (Assigned): ability to archive inactive groups and blogshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/4812010-12-14T16:06:34ZMichael Mandibergmichael.mandiberg@csi.cuny.edu
<p>After using the Commons for a year or so, about half of the groups and blogs I am in are now dormant. They were created for working groups, or classes, or other fixed-period endeavors. The result is that my dropdown menu is pretty cluttered. A number of times I have clicked into the wrong long-dormant blog, and posted there (awk). I don't want to un-join the groups/blogs b/c I will loose access to the info in there, but I would like to be able to archive them so they don't show up in the drop down menu. Or there could be a menu item at the bottom that said "archived groups." Just a thought about interface.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #435 (Assigned): Include Avatar Images in Forum Post Notification...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/4352010-12-06T23:40:52ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>I've noticed that Basecamp includes the avatar image of message posters, and I think that might be a nice feature for our own notification system. What do you think, and how hard would it be to set this up?</p>
<p>I guess this also raises some questions around the styling and format of notification messages -- do we use HTML or only plain-text images?</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 #377 (Assigned): Like buttonshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/3772010-10-26T14:16:13ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>Should we consider adding "like" functionality to the site that will allow members to "like" posts? Looks like this BP plugin provides that functionality - <a class="external" href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-like/">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-like/</a></p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #370 (Assigned): Guest Accountshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/3702010-10-08T15:15:19ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>We have just had an inquiry about bringing 15-20 non CUNY people on to the site for a conference. These kinds of decisions would be much easier to make if we had some sort of guest accounts, perhaps with limited permissions (the ability to participate in a specific blog, for instance, but not to create a new one or to edit wiki pages.)</p>

<p>This is a big project, but it's an important one: create a series of tooltips that will help users figure out how to use the site through contextual help items.</p>
<p>I figure that we can use this ticket to discuss what these might look like and to compile a list of needed tooltips. If needed, we can use use Basecamp for this.</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> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #308 (New): Group recommendations for signup processhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/3082010-08-27T18:27:36ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es
<p>Phil Pecorino suggested during subcommittee meeting: What if there were suggestions for what a user might be interested in (groups, blogs, etc) during the signup process? Maybe on the activation page?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #287 (Assigned): Create troubleshooting tool for account sign-uphttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/2872010-07-27T13:35:26ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>Per ticket 280 - <a class="external" href="http://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/show/280">http://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/show/280</a></p>
<p>To help troubleshoot problems with member sign-ups: from Boone: "Putting some development effort toward building a tool for triaging this sort of situation. As I said, the WP backend has no interface for seeing failed signups. It wouldn't be too hard to build one, though, so that admins could see at a glance whether a user's registration has gone through, to resend activation emails, and to manually activate accounts if necessary."</p>
<p>One additional suggestion: what if there was a front-end troubleshooting tool for users that would lead them through a series of questions and could check the database to see whether the user's registration has gone through? This would automate the process. So, for example, let's say a user has a problem signing up -- she doesn't receive the notification email. She visits the troubleshooting tool. It asks her questions like "when did you sign up"? "What email did you use?" etc. And then, maybe using that decision tree that Sarah created a while ago, it suggests a course of action, telling the user whether to check her spam filter, sign up again because there is no record of registration, or to contact an admin.</p>
