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>If you want, you can make available just on our Help site (<a class="external" href="https://help.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://help.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a>).</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #19990 (Assigned): Issue on About Page when logged in as super adminhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/199902024-03-15T16:21:38ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>I went to update our About page to add Zach to the Commons community team listing and ran into a weird bug, where Laurie's profile photo is shown on a modal overlay. I am experiencing this both on a regular browser window in Chrome and an incognito browser window where I am logged in a super admin.

<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 - Feature #19861 (New): Help redesign Feedbackhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/198612024-02-29T20:58:18ZLaurie Hurson
<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 - Design/UX #19733 (New): Invite Modalhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/197332024-02-09T19:38:14ZSara Cannon
<p>Here are the initial comps for the invite modal</p>
<p>I'm attaching the new comps but if you want to view them alongside the current modal screens, you can view them in presentation format here:<br /><a class="external" href="https://www.figma.com/proto/XtBvj6Z9N5sLn9eHco4ArO/CUNY-Design---Spring-2024?page-id=4328%3A43252&type=design&node-id=4328-44687&viewport=1333%2C-760%2C0.13&t=doNbpw4uC2iSmkMt-1&scaling=min-zoom&mode=design">https://www.figma.com/proto/XtBvj6Z9N5sLn9eHco4ArO/CUNY-Design---Spring-2024?page-id=4328%3A43252&type=design&node-id=4328-44687&viewport=1333%2C-760%2C0.13&t=doNbpw4uC2iSmkMt-1&scaling=min-zoom&mode=design</a></p>
<p><strong>Notes:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>There is a bit of confusion as to who is allowed to be invited here and how that fits into the registration process</li>
<li>We discussed changing the wording of "memberships" to something else - possibly "Invitations" </li>
<li>The confirmation party emoji is a placeholder instead of a massive check box. I would like to think through that screen more</li>
<li>There was discussion around what emails are sent out, what those look like, and if the sender could get an email confirmation.</li>
</ul>

<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 - Design/UX #19624 (New): Mobile Menu Tweakshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/196242024-01-29T22:23:58ZSara Cannon
<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>Hi All -- I just made some updates to my CV, which worked well! I have some questions, though:</p>
<p>1. I added a cover image and now want to remove it. However, I'm unable to get my cursor focus to be on the modal, so I can't scroll to see the options to remove the cover image. When I scroll, the background of the page moves, but I can't adjust the modal to the point where I can see any options. Screenshot attached and I can create a video if needed</p>
<p>2. after I updated my CV (I had one in the system previously), many content blocks were noted as problematic and I was asked to try to attempt recovery. Is this expected behavior? Screenshot attached.</p>

<p>See discussion at <a class="external" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/15767#note-2">https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/15767#note-2</a> and follow-up. The ml-slider folks have promised to fix the issue, but have not done so. <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/support/topic/call-to-get_plugins-causing-performance-problems/">https://wordpress.org/support/topic/call-to-get_plugins-causing-performance-problems/</a></p>
<p>Until they do, we will need to patch ml-slider each time it's updated. This happens next in the 2.1.5 release.</p>
<p>We should also have some sort of system for notifying the release manager (ie me) whenever this patch needs to be applied. Looking at GitHub Actions results is already part of my workflow, which helps me catch invalid syntax and other items. But this one is kinda hard to catch with static analysis tools. Instead, I'm thinking I'll add something to the wp-cli-cac script that I use for bulk plugin updates, something that throws a huge notice about plugins that need manual attention after they've received an update.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #17738 (Reporter Feedback): Using Hyper Audio Pluginhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/177382023-02-28T16:41:51ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>A user is trying to use the hyper audio plugin and soundcloud audio links. They are experiencing issues with this plugin and included the attached screenshot) (waiting for more info)</p>
<p>I also test this plugin with soundcloud audio here: <a class="external" href="https://classtestbmcc.commons.gc.cuny.edu/hyperaudio-test/">https://classtestbmcc.commons.gc.cuny.edu/hyperaudio-test/</a></p>
<p>I am unable to make the audio play when trying to use the plugin with Soundcloud, and I am unable to make a YouTube video play because it required the iframe embed code, which is stripped out.</p>
<p>Would it be possible to make this plugin functional with Soundcloud audio and YouTube videos? This plugin would be great for accessibility purposes and adding transcripts to audio and video</p>
<p>Thanks,<br />Laurie</p>
