Redmine CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #19998 (Staged for Production Release): Hypoths.is not working on med...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/199982024-03-18T15:00:46ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>A user today alerted me that hypothesis is not working on a pdf they uploaded to a public commons site:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://socialannotation.commons.gc.cuny.edu/annotating-a-pdf/">https://socialannotation.commons.gc.cuny.edu/annotating-a-pdf/</a></p>
<p>I was able to recreate the issue here:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://classtestbmcc.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2024/03/18/testing-hypothesis-on-pdf-commons/">https://classtestbmcc.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2024/03/18/testing-hypothesis-on-pdf-commons/</a></p>
<p>The expected behavior of a public Commons site running hypothes.is plugin with annotation on media library PDFs enabled would be:</p>
<p>1. user uploads PDF to site media library<br />2. Insert PDF on page or post<br />3. Site visitor clicks PDF link from page/post<br />4. When PDF from media library opens, plugin adds "https://via.hypothes.is" prefix to PDF view and visitor is able to annotate.</p>
<p>I believe something might be going wrong in step <a class="issue tracker-1 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Bug: Site Loading Slowly at MEC (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/4">#4</a>. Is it possible the Commons is blocking the addition of the via prefix?</p>
<p>Thanks for looking into this!</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #19993 (New): New Plugin request - Classic Menu Blockhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/199932024-03-16T21:51:46Zscott vothscott.voth@verizon.net
<p>Our Help site uses complex menus developed before the Navigation block was around. This plugin provides backward compatibility and will allow us to display all sub-menus, which the Navigation block collapses.</p>
<p>Classic Menu Block (<a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-menu-block/">https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-menu-block/</a>) was updated 11 months ago and receives 5 stars. Author is Jonny Harris.</p>

<p>bp-multiple-forum-post was written before BPGES started using an asynchronous queue technique for sending notifications. As a result, its mechanism for preventing duplicate notifications - which involves a runtime global - is not effective. Instead, we should prevent BPGES from entering a record into the queue table when we see that the user already has the activity item in his/her queue.</p>
<p>This in itself will not be enough. If you post to A and cross-post to B, you could have a situation where:<br />1. The item is queued with respect to group A, and bp-multiple-forum-post schedules a task to create the crossposts<br />2. BPGES runs its "immediate" queue and your A notification goes out. It's then deleted from the queue.<br />3. Later, bp-multiple-forum-post creates its crossposts. Since the A notification has been cleared from the queue, the check described above won't be found.</p>
<p>Modifying BPGES to keep a persistent queue seems like a bad idea - it'd mean introducing a 'status' column, and it'd mean keeping items around forever, unless we had a cleanup routine.</p>
<p>I guess the alternative is to keep track in some other way of users who have received notifications (or, better still, users for whom a BPGES notification has been queued) on a cross-posted item. There's no beautiful way to do this. I guess maybe a piece of postmeta that lives with the original post, which will have to be checked when bp-multiple-forum-post creates the crossposts.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #19971 (New): Expected Group Forum Functionalityhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/199712024-03-13T20:02:46ZLaurie Hurson
<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 - Bug #19966 (Reporter Feedback): Slow Load Time on Sitehttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/199662024-03-13T14:43:08ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>A user is developing a robust program website for a GC department. Right now it is on a dev domain and he plans to clone the site into the final domain soon. But first he is hoping to resolve the slow load times he is noticing on the site:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://lmistest.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://lmistest.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>-<br />From the User:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I am just getting really slow load times, and a lot of times, images don’t load. I was worried that I had clogged the site with too many images or something...</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>I have a lot of images currently uploaded to the site, especially a few big splash images, which I will ultimately delete, as I was just using these for drafts. However, we will be writing about 40 descriptions of projects we have worked on, and each one will have at least one (smaller) image, so I worry about the site slowing down even more?</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>I also worry it has to do with how many changes I made to the underlying theme (I’m currently using “Raft”)? I would really like to switch the theme to just a Wordpress Twenty Twenty-Four theme, but I spent a lot of time tweaking margins and padding etc. to make things look how I wanted them, so I don’t want to start from scratch… That said, if it’s an issue with the images, maybe the theme doesn’t have much to do with it?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>-</p>
<p>I ran the site through a free (questionably accurate) load time checker and it did report the site was very slow. Can you all confirm slow load time and help diagnose what might be causing this?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #19944 (New): Dealing with BuddyPress 12.x upgrade, pt. 2https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/199442024-03-11T22:29:12ZRaymond Hoh
<p>Follow-up to <a class="issue tracker-2 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Feature: Dealing with BuddyPress 12.x upgrade (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/19493">#19493</a>. Just wanted to make sure my comments in <a class="external" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/19493#note-10">https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/19493#note-10</a> are brought forward to a future release:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>For more pronounced changes, I created a new branch -- <a href="https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/compare/bp12...bp12-part2" class="external">bp12-part2</a> -- that namely switches out all BuddyPress 12 deprecated function calls. We can roll that out in a later maintenance release.</p>
<p>I've been testing <code>bp12-part2</code> with BP Classic <em>deactivated</em> and with <code>BP_IGNORE_DEPRECATED</code> set to <code>true</code> and these are some issues I encountered:</p>
<ul>
<li>BP Event Organiser needs some minor adjustments to account for group subnav registration: <a class="external" href="https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/bp-event-organiser/compare/1.2.x...bp12#diff-b0397cc71e95a79af968e8dadb7b8e525085f462c5a88ac11c8bdb86ecd7173d">https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/bp-event-organiser/compare/1.2.x...bp12#diff-b0397cc71e95a79af968e8dadb7b8e525085f462c5a88ac11c8bdb86ecd7173d</a></li>
<li>bbPress does <a href="https://github.com/bbpress/bbPress/blob/4178cbf665674c128c928fabdc0322badacad06b/src/includes/extend/buddypress/groups.php#L140-L157" class="external">some conditional checks</a> that needs to be delayed to the <code>'bp_parse_query'</code> hook. This fixes an issue with the bbPress stylesheet not loading on group forum pages I mentioned above in <a href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/19493#note-4" class="external">comment 4</a> amongst other permission-related cap overrides for the current user.</li>
<li>I need Git permissions to the <code>tapor-client</code> repo so I can push changes and pin a new version for our <code>cac</code> repo.</li>
</ul>
<p>About the bbPress load order issue:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Furthermore, when running bp-classic, I had to do some additional work to ensure that bbPress's BP compatibility layer is loaded in time, and is loaded only once. Like the approach above, it's pretty hacky (requiring a static variable to prevent double-loading) but it basically works. Here's the full patch: <a class="external" href="https://github.com/openlab-at-city-tech/openlab/commit/27f2a68354550295d85f0f3c5aaafc55004268f0">https://github.com/openlab-at-city-tech/openlab/commit/27f2a68354550295d85f0f3c5aaafc55004268f0</a></p>
</blockquote>
<p>I tackled this a little differently in my bbPress commit. See <a class="external" href="https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/e2145f2462d3d2cbe2f16de914e7875c48b6e1cc#diff-0f345898d2c7666be77acc95ec88e90e98a407644a4ce5431b3fb96d06749039">https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/e2145f2462d3d2cbe2f16de914e7875c48b6e1cc#diff-0f345898d2c7666be77acc95ec88e90e98a407644a4ce5431b3fb96d06749039</a> and the constructor and includes() portion of <a class="external" href="https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/e2145f2462d3d2cbe2f16de914e7875c48b6e1cc#diff-a8d1ad6e40805411d0e557ee641e9d47c6cc3d0f17ef107f22ac729255439a5a">https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/e2145f2462d3d2cbe2f16de914e7875c48b6e1cc#diff-a8d1ad6e40805411d0e557ee641e9d47c6cc3d0f17ef107f22ac729255439a5a</a> . I think the constructor changes might fix your double load order issue. Can you do some tests and see if this works for you, Boone?</p>

<p>Related to the invite modal update (<a class="issue tracker-15 status-1 priority-4 priority-default" title="Design/UX: Invite Modal (New)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/19733">#19733</a>) and Raffi's question about CUNYFirst SSO (<a class="issue tracker-2 status-1 priority-3 priority-lowest" title="Feature: Authenticate CAC using CUNYfirst SSO (New)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/19878">#19878</a>), I was wondering if we should consider allowing the @login.cuny.edu domain now for Commons registration. See the attached screenshot for what you get now when trying to register with that domain.</p>
<p>I mentioned this on the dev call earlier, and we used to reject this domain because <a class="email" href="mailto:first.last##@login.cuny.edu">first.last##@login.cuny.edu</a> used to be a username and not an actual email, but now I think that's changed. My @login.cuny.edu now forwards to my GC email inbox, for one.</p>
<p>Marilyn/Scott or others, do you have thoughts on this? Might allowing that domain cut down on support confusion?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #19891 (New): time to rethink the symbols in the footer?https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/198912024-03-04T23:57:53ZMarilyn WeberMweber@gc.cuny.edu

<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 - Bug #19828 (New): CBOX Classic Possible Bughttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/198282024-02-25T22:54:50Zscott vothscott.voth@verizon.net
<p>Paul Schacht has an academic site at Geneseeo. Looks like on the group sidebar the link to the Group site is not formatted correctly - not going to the group site subdomain. It's acting like the site is not configured as a subdomain.</p>
