Redmine CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #18016 (Hold): ml-slider get_plugins() call causes performance issueshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/180162023-04-12T16:57:56ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es
<p>See discussion at <a class="external" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/15767#note-2">https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/15767#note-2</a> and follow-up. The ml-slider folks have promised to fix the issue, but have not done so. <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/support/topic/call-to-get_plugins-causing-performance-problems/">https://wordpress.org/support/topic/call-to-get_plugins-causing-performance-problems/</a></p>
<p>Until they do, we will need to patch ml-slider each time it's updated. This happens next in the 2.1.5 release.</p>
<p>We should also have some sort of system for notifying the release manager (ie me) whenever this patch needs to be applied. Looking at GitHub Actions results is already part of my workflow, which helps me catch invalid syntax and other items. But this one is kinda hard to catch with static analysis tools. Instead, I'm thinking I'll add something to the wp-cli-cac script that I use for bulk plugin updates, something that throws a huge notice about plugins that need manual attention after they've received an update.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #16092 (Hold): Don't show main site in Site search resultshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/160922022-05-11T22:40:36ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es

<blockquote>
<p>- The CAC home site seems to appear in search results. Can we filter that out?</p>

<p>I don't know whether this is something we actually want to do. If there's general agreement, please let me know and I'll look into technical feasibility.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #12436 (Assigned): Nightly system downtimehttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/124362020-02-18T16:21:55ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es
<p>I'm opening this ticket to track recent outages on the Commons. A number of us receive automated notices when the database server is forced to reboot. Beginning roughly one month ago, we started getting these notices several times per week. These notifications indicate when the DB server is forced to reboot, so they indicate at best the end of a problematic period. I receive additional notifications when requests begin to take an inordinately long time, which serves as an indicator of when the incidents begin.</p>
<p>I've been keeping track of specifics over the last few weeks, and I've discerned the following patterns:</p>
<p>- The most common downtime is just after 05:00 UTC (midnight EST, UTC-5), with my incident reports rolling in sometimes around 12:03am and sometimes around 12:07am.<br />- Occasionally, the incidents have begun an hour or two earlier, shortly after 03:00 or 04:00 UTC.<br />- Incidents seem always to begin several minutes after the hour<br />- Reboots usually take place between 3 and 6 minutes after the beginning of the incident<br />- On some occasions, the reboots don't seem to fix the underlying issue, and another cycle of slow requests + db reboots immediately follows.<br />- Sometimes this'll happen a few nights in a row, while sometimes the site will go a few days without any notifications.</p>
<p>All of this strongly suggests that the problem is with an automated cron task, specifically one that takes place around midnight. I've begun to do an analysis of the tasks scheduled for around this time, cross-referencing with the logs. Ideally, we'd be able to narrow down the culprit by identifying the last cron task that begins just before the outages. This is not possible, for a couple reasons: First, the performance issues may only kick in a minute or two after the task begins running (as the system's resources are gradually used up). Second, the Cavalcade logs don't natively keep track of when a task begins running, but only when it finishes (see <a class="external" href="https://github.com/humanmade/Cavalcade-Runner/blob/master/inc/class-runner.php#L377">https://github.com/humanmade/Cavalcade-Runner/blob/master/inc/class-runner.php#L377</a>).</p>
<p>So the best we can do is to make some educated guesses. I'll follow up in a comment with initial thoughts.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #11945 (Reporter Feedback): Add Comments bubble to Reckoning viewshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/119452019-10-04T18:53:28ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es

<blockquote>
<p>The comment bubble links to a dashboard page with all the comments on a particular post (screenshot). I was suggesting integrating this comment bubble into reckoning for each post. So along with the post name, post category (to be added), dated posted, and grade (to be integrated), you could also see the dynamic comment bubble and when clicked, be taken to the dashboard page of comments on post (screenshot).</p>
<p>If the comment bubble is integrated into reckoning, when viewing reckoning with post information, a prof could easily navigate to view all the comments on a particular post, including their own, which maybe be associated with the grade that is visible in reckoning.</p>
</blockquote> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #11883 (New): Need Embedding Help Page Update (Tableau)https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/118832019-09-19T21:43:37ZAnthony Wheeler
<p>Hi Scott,</p>
<p>So I was recently trying to embed a Tableau visualization into a Commons site when I ran into a couple of roadblocks. I went to our Help Page for embedding from other websites, and it was helpful, but something we may want to add is that when copying the share link over from Tableau, you have to make sure you copy the link under "Original View" <br /><img src="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/attachments/download/12443/Screen%20Shot%202019-09-19%20at%205.40.11%20PM.png" alt="" /></p>
<p>It was only after that discovery that the visualization was fully functioning within the Commons. I attached (or tried to attach) a screenshot to hopefully show you what I'm talking about.</p>

<p>The default setting of wp-accessibility is to strip 'target="_blank"' from links. See <a class="issue tracker-1 status-8 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Bug: Links not opening in new tab (Duplicate)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/11512">#11512</a>, <a class="issue tracker-3 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Support: open link in a new tab not working (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/11002">#11002</a>.</p>
<p>In <a class="issue tracker-1 status-8 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Bug: Links not opening in new tab (Duplicate)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/11512">#11512</a>, Gina suggests that this should not be the default behavior:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Since the plugin appears to insert such a warning in the HTML, would it be possible to configure it so that it does not default to removing the target attribute from links? Removing the target attribute is likely to be confusing for other users of the Teaching template.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I personally am not a fan of target="_blank". See <a class="external" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/10712#note-2">https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/10712#note-2</a> and follow-up conversation. Moreover, I'm not a huge fan of messing with the default settings of third-party plugins, because it complicates updates and puts us out of step with their documentation, etc. But if others feel strongly that the current behavior is potentially confusing, it's probably possible to change the default behavior, either globally or in the case of the Teaching Template only.</p>
<p>I'm assigning this to Laurie as she's been the point person for building these templates, but general feedback is welcome.</p> NYCDH Community Site - Feature #10631 (New): DATA VIS - Flyer and Cardshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/106312018-10-29T18:19:49ZAlex IrklievskiAIrklievski@gc.cuny.eduNYCDH Community Site - Feature #10630 (New): Digital Humanities - Flyer and Cardshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/106302018-10-29T18:14:33ZAlex IrklievskiAIrklievski@gc.cuny.eduNYCDH Community Site - Feature #10628 (New): Data Science - Flier and Cardshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/106282018-10-29T18:07:24ZAlex IrklievskiAIrklievski@gc.cuny.eduNYCDH Community Site - Feature #10627 (New): Compu Linguistics - Flyer and Cardshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/106272018-10-29T18:01:39ZAlex IrklievskiAIrklievski@gc.cuny.eduNYCDH Community Site - Feature #10626 (Assigned): Cognitive Neuroscience - Flyer and Cardshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/106262018-10-29T17:52:37ZAlex IrklievskiAIrklievski@gc.cuny.eduNYCDH Community Site - Feature #10625 (New): IMS - Flyer and Cardshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/106252018-10-29T17:44:21ZAlex IrklievskiAIrklievski@gc.cuny.eduNYCDH Community Site - Feature #10624 (New): QMSS - Flyer and Cardshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/106242018-10-29T17:36:33ZAlex IrklievskiAIrklievski@gc.cuny.eduCUNY Academic Commons - Feature #10380 (In Progress): Remove blacklisted pluginshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/103802018-09-25T14:52:36ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es
<p>I'd like to do a review over the next few releases of blacklisted plugins. These are plugins that are unavailable on Dashboard > Plugins, but may still be running on existing sites. For those that are running only on a small handful of sites, it may be worth removing the plugin from the codebase altogether. This data will take some time to collect.</p>

<p>Hi, I'm building a site on the Commons, and when I click on a page or refresh one, a pop-up asking for authentication interrupts the work, often making me click OK up to 8-10 times. (It doesn't go away if I click Cancel, either). I can't tell whether this is Commons-wide or related to my account or theme, although it did not happen when I used a different Commons site yesterday</p>
<p>My site is not public yet, but the URL is amcmichael.commons.gc.cuny.edu and the theme is Make. I've had this problem repeatedly over the last couple of weeks. (See the attached screenshot for the pop-up box that I get).</p>
<p>Thank you.<br />Best,<br />Alice Lynn</p>
