Redmine CUNY Academic Commons - Design/UX #19814 (New): BBPress Forum convert to blocks?https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/198142024-02-22T23:58:41ZSara Cannon
<p>I was looking into BBPress installs and the one on WordPress.org support forums uses blocks instead of the classic editor for posting. Would this be possible with our installation or would this be a heavy lift?</p>

<p>The Mobile menu can use a few tweaks. We can use the User Avatar instead of the User Icon and adjust the carats' alignment. (they seem to be at an awkward spot/angle right now)</p>

<p>The Current CV Mobile view can use some design refinement. The current view has some alignment issues where the CV menu creates a scroll-to-the right situation.</p>
<p>I did a mobile comp that cleaned up the layout. Note the CV edit menu turns the "View CV" text into an Icon. This is used in WordPress Core.</p>
<p>The image credit is way too prominent, so I moved it down to the footer.</p>
<p>See the below Screenshot that shows what the mobile view is like currently, and what it could look like with a bit of cleaning up.</p>

<p>After discussing the deleted account problems in <a class="issue tracker-3 status-4 priority-4 priority-default" title="Support: Sites missing pages, menus, icons, banners (Reporter Feedback)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/18982">#18982</a> during the community call today, we agreed we should strengthen/clarify the text and prompts on the Delete Account screen in Settings.</p>
<p>I've attached how it looks/reads right now, though of course this will change visually with the upcoming release.</p>
<p>Boone, for starters, can you help us confirm the content types that will be removed when an account is deleted? Posts, pages, uploaded media, files in any Group libraries, etc? Is it easy to get a list of those?</p>
<p>Then we will figure out how much to say on the screen itself, while linking out to documentation that covers the other deletion implications. We should at least say up front that before deleting your account, you should attempt to contact fellow admins of any jointly-managed Sites or Groups to ensure they have re-attributed anything they want to save before your deletion.</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 - Design/UX #17018 (Reporter Feedback): Analytics for Profile Fields & Feat...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/170182022-10-12T21:20:03ZSara Cannon

<p>Thank You</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Design/UX #15210 (New): Google Analytics improvementshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/152102022-01-21T23:17:49ZColin McDonald
<p>Sara's asked how she can see how often users are clicking on links in the various parts of the public/private new homepage. I'm not sure our Google Analytics (GA) setup is configured for this currently, and I pretty quickly hit my own knowledge and implementation limits on it so wanted to throw it to the dev team here.</p>
<p>If I understand correctly, we need to use the new GA-4 (as opposed to Universal Analytics or UA, see <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>) features to do this. I also believe we'll need to set up Events that recognize clicks in different areas of the page. I took a stab below at outlining the different sections. From here though, I'm a bit out of my depth. I think this is more of a challenge due to the dynamic nature of the link lists -- the URL of the link is actually less important, for these purposes, than if I clicked on it in My Sites or Activity From My Campus or wherever. It may matter that most of these links may not technically be "outbound" by GA's definition because they're still on the commons.gc.edu domain, but that's unclear to me too.</p>
<p>I'm not sure if we could tie different GA-4 events via CSS class to these sections or something similar, or if we need to append additional CSS or other code to structure this correctly. I also assume we'll be inserting more GA-4 code into the site, whether it makes sense to do that manually or via the Google Tag Manager service seemingly offered for things like this. GA-4 collects general events like all 'clicks' automatically, but nothing more granular without customization:</p>

<p>I'm also not really sure of the best way to track clicks on the more universal parts of the site, like the header (nav) and footer. There used to be a Chrome extension that was half-decent at this, but Google stopped supporting/updating that in 2019.</p>
<p>I think I'll leave it here for now, in the hopes that Boone/Ray/Jeremy have some experience to bear here, or can at least pick up the more technical parts of this thread. Let me know what else I can do to help steer and describe this.</p>
<p>One last thing - Sara would also like to be able to see how often the People page filters are being used, and which aspects are the most popular. I believe we set up something like this in <a class="issue tracker-2 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Feature: Track directory filter use in Google Analytics (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/11760">#11760</a>, but I'm not sure if it's still functional or how to find it in our Analytics dashboard.</p>

<p>Create a style guide for CUNY Academic Commons to compiles all the site's design elements like typography, link, and button styles, color scheme, consistent padding/margin, etc.</p>
<p>This will help us design more consistently in the future, it will also help the developers to have a reference for implementation. It will be a base to achieve more design consistency across the site and aid as a style library for a potential future redesign.</p>
<p>It will be a living guide and after initial design and internal sign off we should consider creating an HTML style guide. It can live on Github and can be updated over time.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - System Upgrade #8078 (Assigned): CommentPress Updateshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/80782017-05-02T16:59:09ZMargaret Galvan
<p>It looks like we need to do some housekeeping regarding CommentPress as we have, in effect, multiple versions activated because of how the theme/plugin has grown and changed its name along with updates.</p>
<p>In the past, you would activate the CommentPress theme and then also activate certain CommentPress plugins to make CommentPress work. Now, you simply activate the CommentPress Core plugin (<a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/commentpress-core/">https://wordpress.org/plugins/commentpress-core/</a>), which has a theme embedded. That means that we need to remove the out-of-date CommentPress theme, as well as these two CommentPress plugins: Commentpress Ajaxified, CommentPress</p>
<p>I have looked into these two CommentPress plugins on our GitHub install and verified that both were updated 6 years ago (cp-ajax-comments, commentpress), which verifies that they are just as outdated as the CommentPress theme (also updated 6 years ago). <a class="external" href="https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/tree/1.10.x/wp-content/plugins">https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/tree/1.10.x/wp-content/plugins</a></p>
<p>Additionally, we should update the CommentPress Core plugin. We are at version 3.9.3, but the most recent version is 3.4: <a class="external" href="http://futureofthebook.org/commentpress/download/">http://futureofthebook.org/commentpress/download/</a></p> CUNY Academic Commons - Design/UX #7624 (New): BP Notificationshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/76242017-02-04T15:12:48ZLuke Waltzerlwaltzer@gc.cuny.edu
<p>Opening a thread to discuss notifications, which I sometimes find confusing.</p>
<p>Currently, when I'm on a subsite, I have one notification -- bbp_new_reply</p>
<p>When I click bbp_new_reply, I'm taken to my profile page. Then, the notification drop-down shows the detail of the reply -- "You have one new reply to x post by y person." If I click that, then I'm taken to the reply in the forum (and the notification is cleared).</p>
<p>When I click the notification icon itself from the subsite, I'm taken to <a class="external" href="https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/members/lwaltzer/notifications/">https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/members/lwaltzer/notifications/</a>, where my notification is listed. I have to then actively click Read to clear the notification.</p>
<p>Given that we have RBE running, perhaps we should discuss if the notification is redundant or distracting, or if there might be a method to have it cleared if we can be sure the message was read?</p>
<p>Can we adjust the bbp_new_reply notification to show the same content that one sees from within their profile with a link directly to the forum post when users are on subsites?</p>
<p>Are there other notification triggers in the system that also might benefit from some attention?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Design/UX #4235 (Assigned): Explore user experience around comments on fo...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/42352015-06-26T20:51:10ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com

<p>When creating a new document, it is not clear how/if it is associated with one of the groups. Unless the user chooses a group before clicking ‘Create New Doc,’ there is no way to associate a document with a group using this form.</p>
<p>Add an option for connecting a group to the ‘Create New Doc’ form (in a similar format to ‘Tags’ and ‘Parent’).</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Design/UX #4225 (New): Add information to DIRT page (in Create a Group)https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/42252015-06-25T15:01:53ZSamantha Raddatz
<p>The eighth step, to enable ‘Digital Research Tools,’ does not have any explanatory information about what this tab offers. Can it be customized or is it a set list of tools chosen by CUNY?</p>
<p>Add information about these tools, why a group might want to add this tab, or link to Codex (<a class="external" href="http://codex.commons.gc.cuny.edu/dirt/">http://codex.commons.gc.cuny.edu/dirt/</a>)<br />If customizable, add those options here too.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Design/UX #4027 (Assigned): Usability review of CBOX update procedureshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/40272015-04-29T13:49:39ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>Samantha, I'd like to ask you to review the CBOX update/upgrade process. I just upgraded a few installations, and I found that the process could be improved. Here are my concerns:</p>
<p>-- Are all the steps one must take to update CBOX clear to users?<br />-- After one updates the main plugin, are there other upgrade steps needed for CBOX plugins? If so, is that process clear?<br />-- Is it clear that one needs to upgrade the optional CBOX theme after upgrading the plugin manager?<br />-- how might the upgrade process be improved with better visual cues and step-by-step guidelines?</p>
<p>cc'ed: Boone, Chris, Scott, and Steve</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Design/UX #860 (Assigned): Standardize Button Treatment Across the Commonshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/8602011-06-23T05:14:55ZChris Steincstein@bmcc.cuny.edu
<p>This grew out of talk around a request to change a button in another ticket (<a class="external" href="http://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/665">http://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/665</a>). After doing a deal of looking around and cataloging I found our button treatment is mostly consistent but could use improving in places.</p>
<p>The purpose of the ticket is to have a discussion on what the standard button(s), most likely there will be 2 or 3 types, should look like.</p>
<p>I don't have a lot of suggestions at this point. I want to bring to light what's out there and start the discussion. There are so many buttons it's too much to talk about here so I made this page:<br /><a class="external" href="http://www.teachingmultimedia.com/commons/buttons/buttons.html">http://www.teachingmultimedia.com/commons/buttons/buttons.html</a></p>
<p>I also printed that as a PDF which is attached in case you want to write comments directly on the document or take it offline (not perfect but it came out OK).</p>
