Redmine CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #19627 (Assigned): Private Post default Not working?https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/196272024-01-30T16:29:41ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I am working with a professor on this site:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://urb613sp24.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://urb613sp24.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>The students created draft posts last night but it appears that none of the posts were private by default even though the plugin is running on the site.</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://urb613sp24.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/edit.php">https://urb613sp24.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/edit.php</a></p>
<p>I am not sure if the plugin is depricated with new versions of Wordpress? I created a new post to test and it is created as public and when I go to change the visibility I am prompted "Would you like to privately publish this post now?" which seems like a different workflow for privatizing posts compared to the past.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #18133 (Hold): Elementor builder problemhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/181332023-04-28T14:45:02ZMarilyn WeberMweber@gc.cuny.edu

<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 CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #17655 (New): Broken Link Checker improperly scanning unpublished postshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/176552023-02-13T18:03:17ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es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Strange update: One of my sites is now sending me e-mail alerts for broken links found in unpublished pages, even though I have the settings set not to check page drafts.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 (I have these links in an unpublished page because I need to store former links/link history there).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>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 - Bug #14987 (New): Elementor update causes database freeze-uphttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/149872021-11-23T21:19:15ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es
<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 - Feature #12121 (Reporter Feedback): Embedding H5P Iframes on Commons Sitehttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/121212019-11-20T21:01:20ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>A professor reported that she is unable to embed an H5P iframe on her site. Her email is below:</p>
<p>"I talked to you yesterday at CSI's OER Symposium about my issue embedding tutorials into my course. My course on commons is: <a class="external" href="https://lib102.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://lib102.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a> (I am still in the process of designing it).</p>
<p>The issue is I am not allowed to save any embedded tutorials on my course site. The tutorials I tried to embed are from this OER website, plus some tutorials I am creating: <a class="external" href="https://owl.excelsior.edu/plagiarism/plagiarism-how-much-do-you-know/">https://owl.excelsior.edu/plagiarism/plagiarism-how-much-do-you-know/</a></p>
<p>I tried embedding on my own wordpress website: <a class="external" href="http://judyxiao.com/">http://judyxiao.com/</a> and I had no issues."</p>
<p>I know we have been been doing some mild exploring of H5P but that it is not yet available on the Commons. Could we allow professors to embed h5p iframes from another source as a workaround since the h5p libraries (which I think presented security isues) are not hosted on the Commons? I also remember that the Commons might strip out iFrames when saving a page for security reasons but is there a way to allow professors to embed h5p iframes?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #11649 (In Progress): CC license displayed on every pagehttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/116492019-07-18T16:03:33ZGina Cherry
<p>The CC license is unintentionally displayed at the bottom of every page and post on the CETLS web site (in addition to being intentionally displayed in a widget in the footer): <a class="external" href="https://cetls.bmcc.cuny.edu/">https://cetls.bmcc.cuny.edu/</a>. I recently realized that this behavior may be specific to the theme I am using for the site (Canvas). How can I remove the CC license information from the pages and posts?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #11545 (New): Twitter searches in WordPresshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/115452019-06-11T15:52:47ZGina Cherry
<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 - Bug #9926 (New): twitter-mentions-as-comments cron jobs can run longhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/99262018-06-14T02:32:33ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es
<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>
<pre><code>[0] => <a class="external" href="http://connections.commons.gc.cuny.edu">http://connections.commons.gc.cuny.edu</a><br /> [1] => <a class="external" href="http://jitp.commons.gc.cuny.edu">http://jitp.commons.gc.cuny.edu</a><br /> [0] => <a class="external" href="http://newtestsite.commons.gc.cuny.edu">http://newtestsite.commons.gc.cuny.edu</a><br /> [1] => <a class="external" href="http://eshtestcac.commons.gc.cuny.edu">http://eshtestcac.commons.gc.cuny.edu</a><br /> [2] => <a class="external" href="http://arctest2.commons.gc.cuny.edu">http://arctest2.commons.gc.cuny.edu</a><br /> [3] => <a class="external" href="http://acert.commons.gc.cuny.edu">http://acert.commons.gc.cuny.edu</a><br /> [0] => <a class="external" href="http://jitpdev.commons.gc.cuny.edu">http://jitpdev.commons.gc.cuny.edu</a><br /> [1] => <a class="external" href="http://jitpstaging.commons.gc.cuny.edu">http://jitpstaging.commons.gc.cuny.edu</a><br /> [2] => <a class="external" href="http://foodscholar.commons.gc.cuny.edu">http://foodscholar.commons.gc.cuny.edu</a></code></pre>
<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 - Bug #9289 (Reporter Feedback): Email Users Pluginhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/92892018-02-26T19:30:07ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Several faculty participating in the OER Fellows program to run their courses on the Commons did not want to setup a group and therefore wanted to send students emails through their course site. They attempted to use the email users plugin but it appears the plugin is not sending emails correctly.</p>
<p>The plugin has two methods of sending email, to individuals or to groups. Through the Individual send area an Admin can select multiple individuals. Through the Group send area, an Admin can choose a group to send to based on user roles on the site (i.e. Author, Editor, etc). Several issues have been reported from faculty using this plugin.</p>
<p>In the individual area, when several users are selected (using crtl key) only some students receive the email. The faculty members confirm this because once the email is "sent" the plugin reports that the email has been sent to 23 of 25 users. This has happened on the following sites:</p>
<pre><code><a class="external" href="https://bmccsoc124.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://bmccsoc124.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a> -- 23 of 25 student Authors receive email<br /> <a class="external" href="https://bmccsoc144.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://bmccsoc144.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a> -- 16 of 25 student Authors received email.<br /><a class="external" href="https://soc100munshi.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://soc100munshi.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a> -- Students are subscribers, only half received emails</code></pre>
<p>In the group send area, often user role types are missing from the list of groups to send emails to. This has happened on the following sites:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://bmccsoc091.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://bmccsoc091.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a> -- Author Role missing from Group area<br /><a class="external" href="https://bmccasnmunshi.commons.gc.cuny.edu">https://bmccasnmunshi.commons.gc.cuny.edu</a> --Author role missing from group area<br /><a class="external" href="https://freequeercuny.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://freequeercuny.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a> -- Author role missing from group area</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 - 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>
