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 - Feature #18739 (New): PDF Embedder Premiumhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/187392023-09-05T17:39:09ZSyelle Graves
<p>We have a quick question about the PDF embedder: Has the Commons team ever considered the paid version? We ask because we have a newsletter with hyperlinks that we can't embed. and it would be great to have that functionality, which I believe the paid plugin has.</p>
<p>The only alternative I know of is to use an embedded Google doc, but we don't do that because we would have to reformat all of our existing PDFs, which we’ve tried and found not worth it (tables and images take forever to convert from Word to gdocs). Anyway, we're just curious in general if the Commons has considered or would consider it, if it's not too expensive!</p>
<p>Hope it's okay to ask. Thank you!</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #18561 (New): Bravada https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/185612023-08-07T21:50:26ZMarilyn WeberMweber@gc.cuny.edu
<p>Juwon Jun asks:</p>
<p>I am in the process of building a new site and wanted to ask for your advice on choosing a theme. Our team was interested in this particular website (<a class="external" href="https://hindi.la.utexas.edu">https://hindi.la.utexas.edu</a>) and want to emulate the look of it. The closest theme I could find was Bravada, but once you navigate to a sample page, the content appears at the bottom of the header. However, the Hindi at UT Austin website appears to have the content appear at the top, replacing the header video and landing page text. Is this possible to code in Bravada, or another theme?</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 - Design/UX #17677 (New): Cataloguing notification typeshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/176772023-02-16T18:54:32ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es
<p>Following up on a recent dev call, here's a list of unique notification types on the Commons:</p>
<pre>
| added_reader |
| bbp_new_reply |
| comment_mention |
| followedpaper_comment |
| followedpaper_edit |
| friendship_accepted |
| friendship_request |
| group_invite |
| membership_request_accepted |
| membership_request_rejected |
| member_promoted_to_admin |
| member_promoted_to_mod |
| mypaper_comment |
| new_at_mention |
| new_membership_request |
| new_message |
| new_wire_post |
| pending_booking |
</pre>
<p>We can eliminate several that are related to Social Paper: <code>added_reader</code>, <code>comment_mention</code>, <code>followedpaper_comment</code>, <code>followedpaper_edit</code>, <code>mypaper_comment</code>. In addition, <code>new_wire_post</code> is linked to a feature that we no longer have on the Commons. This leaves us with:</p>
<p>1. bbp_new_reply - Created by bbPress for user A when user B posts a reply to a forum topic or reply written by A. <br />2. friendship_accepted - Created by BP for user A when user B accepts a friendship request that A sent to B.<br />3. friendship_request - Created by BP for user A when user B sends a friendship request to A.<br />4. group_invite - Created by BP for user A when user B invites A to join a group.<br />5. membership_request_accepted - Created by BP for user A when A requests membership in a group, and the group's admin approves the request<br />6. membership_request_rejected - Created by BP for user A when A requests membership in a group, and the group's admin rejects the request<br />7. member_promoted_to_admin - Created by BP for user A when A is promoted in a group from 'member' to 'admin'<br />8. member_promoted_to_mod - Created by BP for user A when A is promoted in a group from 'member' to 'mod'<br />9. new_at_mention - Created by BP for user A when A is at-mentioned anywhere tracked by BuddyPress. Notably for our purpose, this includes blog posts, blog comments, forum posts.<br />10. new_membership_request - Created by BP for user A when A is the admin of a private group, and user B requests membership in that group<br />11. new_message - Created by BP for user A when A receives a private message<br />12. pending_booking - Created by the events-manager plugin for user A when user A has created an event with booking, and user B books for that event. events-manager is <strong>not</strong> a plugin that we run on the main site, so this must be something that happens on secondary sites</p>
<p>Of these, a number are purely informational. 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12 A right-hand notifications pane could have a message that summarizes the information ("So-and-so replied to your forum post") and then links to that content.</p>
<p>Several of them have obvious follow-up actions. 3, 4, 10, perhaps 11. A right-hand notifications pane could have a link that points you to the page where you'd perform the action, or perhaps it could show you the interface for actually performing the action (ie, accepting the friendship).</p>
<p>I hope this is a helpful start.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #14394 (New): Commons News Site - redesignhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/143942021-04-28T19:30:21Zscott vothscott.voth@verizon.net

<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 everyone,</p>
<p>Here's the issue that we've been discussing internally:</p>
<p>We need to find a way to announce and keep a record of data quality issues. We're currently using the IR Director Listserv for this but a few days after a data alert has been sent out, people forget about it. What we would love to do is to have some sort of prompt to send out an alert email when an update has been made to only a single page (in this case, <a class="external" href="https://oirap.commons.gc.cuny.edu/alerts-data-quality-issues/">https://oirap.commons.gc.cuny.edu/alerts-data-quality-issues/</a>). The reason why I say a prompt is because we frequently make updates to pages before sharing them.</p>
<p>Thanks very much!!</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 - Publicity #5298 (New): Survey Pop-Up Texthttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/52982016-03-08T17:05:23ZSamantha Raddatz

<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 #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>What do you think? Helpful? Unnecessary? Let me know</p>
