<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>A user posted a message in a public group forum at 1:31pm:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/cuny-manifold-users/forum/topic/upcoming-manifold-workshops-2/">https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/cuny-manifold-users/forum/topic/upcoming-manifold-workshops-2/</a></p>
<p>It was cross-posted on several other groups, which posted at 2:03. Examples are below, both groups are also public</p>
<p>COIL:<br /><a class="external" href="https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/collaborative-online-international-learning-coil/forum/topic/upcoming-manifold-workshops-3/">https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/collaborative-online-international-learning-coil/forum/topic/upcoming-manifold-workshops-3/</a></p>

<p>I received an email from the COIL forum at 2:37, see screenshot.</p>
<p>Two questions:</p>
<p>1. Robin (user) was wondering: Is this lag time between original posting, cross posting, and email typical and correct functionality? I thought maybe yes, since all messages have to be pulled through to each location, but wanted to be sure to ask.</p>
<p>2. Why wasn't the email I received from the CUNY Manifold Group, where the forum post was originated?</p>
<p>I received the email of the group forum post from the COIL group.This seems strange since both groups are public. I would think that a user would want the email to come from the forum where the post was originally shared.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #19904 (New): New member welcome screenhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/199042024-03-05T22:04:29ZColin McDonald
<p>How can we go about editing the screen to which new members are redirected after registering? I think it looks something like the attached but haven't been able to get there myself recently.

<p>Hi Scott and All,</p>
<p>I wanted to provide some feedback on our shiny and new help redesign. Overall it looks great! The main issue I am experiencing is the font size is so large, I really feel the site looks cramped and I can only find a little bit of information at one time.</p>
<p>In the screenshot attached, the header is taking up ~1/3 of the page, the title and first sentence is another 1/3 of the page, and I can only see 1-2 menu items in the left sidebar, whereas in the past design I could see about 10+ menu items so it was clear that the menu on the left was the "main nav" for each help section.</p>
<p>Could we consider changing the font size and spacing to make it so help site visitors can see more information on the page? Do others feel this would be helpful?</p> 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>Hi All,</p>
<p>I was exploring text to audio tools the other day and found that both Firefox and Chrome have browser add-ons called "Read Aloud: A Text to Speech Voice Reader" that add text to audio features on websites. Once installed in the browser, the tool converts the Commons page to audio, and allows users to navigate websites with support from audio navigation.</p>
<p>We might add a note about this on the accessibility page, and I can add it to the help documentation for teaching.</p>
<p>Using the tools also reveals that some of the home pages sections are skipped during audio, which makes me wonder if they are also missing or skipped if someone is using a screen reader. Maybe something to investigate when we have a chance.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #19617 (New): Tickets Missing from WS deskhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/196172024-01-29T17:19:57ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I replied to this ticket below (Ticket 4583) through WS desk on Friday afternoon. Now when I go to find the ticket in WS desk it is nowhere to be found. See screenshots.</p>
<p>This has happened several times that I cannot find the tickets I was working on and therefore I cannot check if they have been replied to. Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug or are the tickets archived somewhere that I cannot access?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #19400 (New): Images not loadinghttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/194002023-12-11T18:17:15ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>This is the LMIS test site I was refering to on the team call last friday.</p>
<p>The web desginer got in touch with me to report that he is having trouble with the images loading slowly or not at all and I am able to re-create this issue in firefox and chrome.</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://lmistest.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://lmistest.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>Are you seeing this issue? Can you look into why these images are not loading?</p>
<p>I have asked for more info about any plugin installs recently, but I met with him last Wednesday and the site was working fine. I will send any more info he can provide soon.</p>
<p>Thanks,<br />Laurie</p> 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 - Bug #19277 (New): Hostos students can't registerhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/192772023-11-15T22:17:42ZMarilyn WeberMweber@gc.cuny.edu
<p>Krysia Michael reports "8 students in my Hostos class attempted to register for the Commons today and never received emails for the confirmation. I’m wondering what might have gone wrong or if we should just wait longer."</p>
<p>This was two hours ago, and I still see them there in unconfirmed. Any idea?</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 - Bug #18213 (New): Google Analytics 4 migration documentation for usershttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/182132023-05-12T15:40:30ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es
<p>Individual sites on the Commons can have their own Google Analytics tracking. See <a class="issue tracker-1 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Bug: StatPress performance & migrate to per-site Google Analytics (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/10722">#10722</a>. Since <a class="issue tracker-3 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Support: Google Analytics 4 tagging (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/13511">#13511</a>, we have supported Google Analytics 4 in addition to the legacy Universal Analytics. In Summer 2023, Google will be phasing out UA, so we should make some changes on the Commons:</p>
<p>1. Amend our help documentation to indicate that GA4 is the proper system to use, and to guide people on how to migrate their legacy UA accounts to GA4. Those users will then need to be directed on how to enter their new GA4 identifier in place of the old UA- identifier on their Commons sites.<br />2. We should change the language on the Commons dashboard panel so that it no longer indicates that both UA and GA4 are supported.<br />3. Scott, if you think it makes sense, we could build a system to build a list of sites using the old UA IDs. We can then either (a) email them, or (b) have something in the Commons (like an admin notice?) telling them to make the necessary changes, or (c) something else or some combination of these.</p>
<p>Scott, what do you think?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #17102 (New): Universal footer revisions for ToS / CChttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/171022022-10-25T16:06:51ZColin McDonald
<p>As part of our Creative Commons licensing and display overhaul, we want to edit the universal footer that appears across all Commons pages (see attached for its current state).</p>
<p>The main issue is the four links that appear under the nav items: Help, Privacy, Terms of Service, Creative Commons (CC) license unless otherwise noted.</p>
<p>(Incidentally, we have another project we should resolve here to update the text at some of these links: <a class="external" href="https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/cac-community-team-project-planning/forum/topic/summer-project-review-of-commons-tos-privacy-policy-and-mission-statement-2/">https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/cac-community-team-project-planning/forum/topic/summer-project-review-of-commons-tos-privacy-policy-and-mission-statement-2/</a>)</p>
<p>I'm proposing we change the fourth link to say Creative Commons License Info, and then instead of linking to this general CC license page that we do now:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/</a></p>
<p>Instead we link to a new page of documentation that explains a few of the CC points we've made in recent meetings:</p>
<p>- CC-licensed content on the Commons is also subject to our ToS, which allows us to truncate, show excerpts, repurpose, etc as per the needs of our design and the Commons overall<br />- The overall Commons content philosophy and distinction: You own your content on the Commons, different than on almost any other platform or social network. Explain what this means, how you can protect/export/etc.<br />- You can change the CC license of your Commons content at any time, on a space-by-space level.<br />- You can also choose no CC license at all, later or during space setup, and retain all rights with the exception of the ToS allowances mentioned above.<br />- A section on CC licensing and OER, which would be related to <a class="issue tracker-2 status-1 priority-4 priority-default child" title="Feature: OER tag and CC licensing notification system (New)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/17101">#17101</a></p>
<p>This version of the universal footer would only show up on our "core" Commons pages, like the homepage and directories -- we will need to spell out what this core contains.</p>
<p>A separate version would appear for this footer on individual Commons site and group pages, which will have their own licensing decisions and display. This version could just omit the fourth link to CC information, to reduce possible confusion there.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #17101 (New): OER tag and CC licensing notification systemhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/171012022-10-25T16:04:02ZColin McDonald
<p>We discussed in our last monthly meeting an idea to better link the OER tag during course site creation (or later editing such a site) with our Creative Commons licensing options.</p>
<p>It was proposed that if a user selects the OER tag, there would be an inline message if they have no CC license selected (either during the creation flow or on the site in Settings if the tag is being added later).</p>
<p>The message would say something like:</p>
<p>"We noticed that you have tagged your site as an OER but no CC license is present. Please CC license the open content, or the whole site in Settings>Writing. To learn more about open licensing visit our documentation [link TBD]."</p>
<p>Let's talk more about the mechanics of this, but I wanted to get the general idea down here.</p>
