Redmine 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>I just built a conference website, and see that there is are Twitter and RSS symbols in the footer that maybe should be removed? Screenshot attached. They go to <a class="external" href="https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/twitter/">https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/twitter/</a> and <a class="external" href="https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/activity/feed/">https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/activity/feed/</a></p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #19732 (New): Twitter/X feedhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/197322024-02-09T19:18:02ZMarilyn WeberMweber@gc.cuny.edu
<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 am wondering if, as part of this next phase of redesign, we might update the group/site creation portal pages and the group/site completion page?</p>
<p>I don't think there need to be any functional changes perhaps this is only ux/design and font changes? Maybe I am wrong though.</p>
<p>The completion page especially doesn't seem like it would be too complicated. But if this request adds too much labor, or muddies the group overhaul process, feel free to ignore.</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 - Feature #18099 (New): Using Tag Groups plugin to create tag group lists i...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/180992023-04-24T15:29:00ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I am using the "Tag Groups" plugin on this site: <a class="external" href="https://tlcassignments.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://tlcassignments.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>A few weeks ago Ray helped me with the front page boxed tag display, which is looking good, but I am hoping to refine the tag lists using the plugin on this front page, and within each post.</p>
<p>First question:</p>
<p>The Tag Groups plugin allows the admin to create groups of tags; in the case of this site I have grouped tags as either "type" or "feature" of an assignment. You can see these groupings in the dashboard in tags and tag group admin.</p>
<p>On the front page right now you are seeing how the tag groups shortcode displays "tag list" under "type" and all tags as a boxed tag cloud under feature. Ideally, I would like the tags in the "type" group to display under the "type of assignment" heading in the same boxed format that ray designed (same as category display)and the feature tags to display under the "assignment feature" heading.</p>
<p>Second question:</p>
<p>Within each post, I would like to use shortcode to auto-populate the "type" tags in the type column and the "feature" tags in the feature column. Ideally the shortcode displayed tags lists would be live links, so a user could see that the assignment feature "student choice" and click "student choice" to see other, similarly tagged assignments. These lists do not need to be boxed (as they would be on front page) a simple list would make sense here.<br /> Sample post: <a class="external" href="https://tlcassignments.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2023/04/03/documentary-analysis/">https://tlcassignments.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2023/04/03/documentary-analysis/</a></p>
<p>Does this make sense? Thanks for your help with this. I have poked around and tried various short code but could not get the tag groups to display correctly.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #17797 (New): Widgets in Pages for custom category listshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/177972023-03-08T18:34:10ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I am building out an OER TLC assignment library on the Commons. I will need to make the taxonomies and folksonomies visible to users so the site and assignments can be easily searched and navigated, kind of like it is here (bottom of page): <a class="external" href="http://teachoer.org/">http://teachoer.org/</a></p>
<p>On the TeachOER site, I used "widgets on pages" plugin that allows a user to group widget and use shortcode to insert. I like how the widget displays on the front end not just as a lit but as buttons. (I Think this may be the theme?)<br /><a class="external" href="https://datamad.co.uk/wordpress-plugins/widgets-on-pages/">https://datamad.co.uk/wordpress-plugins/widgets-on-pages/</a></p>
<p>My question: can we add widgets in pages plugin for use on this Commons site: <a class="external" href="https://tlcassignments.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://tlcassignments.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>AND/OR can you advise: is there a better way to do this now with the block editor? I can imagine making buttons with custom links to each category archive but I think this would be tedious. Right now, I see that the "category block only lists categories, and does not display them in a pleasing way.</p>
<p>There is no rush on this, I don't need to complete the prototype library site until April.</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 #16795 (New): Updating default themes on new sites and templateshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/167952022-09-14T15:22:02ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>On several of the dev/community calls we have discussed updating the default theme on new sites and the templates offered during the creation flow.</p>
<p>Current template sites are below. For Academic, Conference, and Teaching sites, I believe these sites (below) are cloned when a user chooses one of these templates. Is that correct? If so, if I change the theme here, will this update the default theme for any new sites that select the template?</p>
<p>Any new site default theme is Twenty Twenty <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/themes/twentytwenty/">https://wordpress.org/themes/twentytwenty/</a></p>
<p>Academic Template: <a class="external" href="https://academic-portfolio-template.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://academic-portfolio-template.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>Conference Template: <a class="external" href="https://conftemplate.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://conftemplate.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>Teaching Template: <a class="external" href="https://teaching-template.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://teaching-template.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>Looking at the templates again, I don't know if we actually need to update the themes for the Academic or Conference templates. Thoughts?</p>
<p>I think new sites and teaching templates would benefit from a new default themes.</p>
<p>Perhaps we make the new default Twenty Twenty Two to be consistent with Wordpress? 2022 theme is more appealing than 2020. <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/themes/twentytwentytwo/">https://wordpress.org/themes/twentytwentytwo/</a></p>
<p>For the teaching template - Colin - are there any themes that have been really popular for BK faculty teaching courses? In my experience a lot of people like the Radiate theme, but we may want something new since a lot of other sites are already using this theme. I will also start a new ticket with suggestions for a few new themes to add to the network.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Documentation #12392 (New): Updates to Common Commons Questions on Help Pagehttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/123922020-02-10T21:28:23Zscott vothscott.voth@verizon.net

<p>Continuing a discussion that began in ticket <a class="issue tracker-2 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Feature: CC Image Plugin (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/11833">#11833</a>: CC Image Plugin: <a class="external" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/11833">https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/11833</a></p>
<p>When a user is editing in the Gutenberg block editor view, the "Simple CSS" field is open/visible by default. This has confused multiple people who have entered post content in this field instead of into the content field. We may want to consider making the default setting for the "Simple CSS" area to closed/minimized.</p>
<p>Additionally, the content area where users enter the body of their post or page is poorly defined as the main place to enter info. The directional text in the content area is very small and the color contrast likely does not meet accessibility standards. We may want to consider reformatting this text in the block editor to make it more accessible and user friendly.</p>
<p>I think this also raises larger issues of accessibility of the block editor in general. Accessibility issues associated with the block editor were raised when Gutenberg was released but I am not sure how many of these issues have actually been addressed and fixed. I think Boone may know more about this?</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>

<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 - Bug #3691 (New): WPMU Domain Mapping Debugging on cdevhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/36912014-12-02T17:23:21ZRaymond Hoh
<p>As per the 1.7.5 release, there was a redirect issue with the WPMU Domain Mapping plugin during upgrade to v0.5.5 that forced us to rollback to the previous version (v0.5.4.3).</p>
<p>Boone has suggested that we help debug the latest release on cdev so we can send a patch back to the authors.</p>
<p>Can you let us know when you've set up a domain for mapping on cdev and whether you require any help in debugging?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
