Redmine CUNY Academic Commons - Design/UX #11843 (New): Tweaking the Gutenberg Editor Interfacehttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/118432019-09-10T18:58:33ZLaurie Hurson
<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 #11788 (Reporter Feedback): Plugin Request - Browse Aloudhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/117882019-08-25T13:23:14Zscott vothscott.voth@verizon.net

<p>Recently, a faculty member asked about installing the PRO version the plugin 'Draw Attention' (<a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/draw-attention/">https://wordpress.org/plugins/draw-attention/</a>) for image annotation for her art history class. The free version currently on the Commons only allows annotation on one image per site and she was hoping to use it for student assignments (30-60 images per site). The plugin does not have front-end annotation but rather requires the user to create the annotations through the dashboard area of the plugin. In the dashboard, users select the clickable areas for front-end users to explore. From what I can tell in the free version, like a post, a user chooses an image, adds content (annotations) and posts the image. Tested here: <a class="external" href="https://coursetest.commons.gc.cuny.edu/?da_image=123">https://coursetest.commons.gc.cuny.edu/?da_image=123</a></p>
<p>The plugin is fairly easy to use through the dashboard interface but its unclear whether users can annotate images posted by others (but probably not, like posts)so its possible that this plugin does not allow for shared/collaborative annotation on a image.</p>
<p>Just FYI, the PRO version costs $74/year for one site and $124/year for unlimited sites, but I know the Commons tends to steer away from paid plugins. Moreover, dashboard editing and non-collaborative annotation may not be not ideal for a class setup. I think front-end annotation might work better since having users access the image through the back-end and set up annotations might be confusing for students and require admin user status as opposed to author status.</p>
<p>I'm not sure of other tools that do collaborative image annotation (other than VOCAT). One possibility is Demon Image Annotation but this plugin might work the same way as Draw Attention</p>

<p>I'd like to do a review over the next few releases of blacklisted plugins. These are plugins that are unavailable on Dashboard > Plugins, but may still be running on existing sites. For those that are running only on a small handful of sites, it may be worth removing the plugin from the codebase altogether. This data will take some time to collect.</p>

<p>Let's use this ticket to track the project of making the Commons into an oAuth provider. This will allow third-party applications to offer account creation and authentication through the Commons.</p>
<p>The initial client will be the CUNY installation of Manifold, but we should build with an eye toward more general adoption.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #6755 (New): Cannot Deactivate Plugin https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/67552016-11-16T04:50:47ZLaura Kanelaura.w.kane@gmail.com
<p>Hi Commons Team,</p>
<p>I've tried several times to remove the "Sociable" plugin from the JITP Staging Site (<a class="external" href="http://jitpstaging.commons.gc.cuny.edu">http://jitpstaging.commons.gc.cuny.edu</a>) but the plugin will not deactivate. After clicking the deactivate button, the browser refreshes but the plugin is still listed as active. This happens in Fire Fox and Chrome.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #6356 (Reporter Feedback): Should Subscribe2 be deprecated?https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/63562016-10-19T14:36:44ZLuke Waltzerlwaltzer@gc.cuny.edu
<p>We might want to investigate the Subscribe 2 plugin... these users -- <a class="external" href="https://jitp.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/admin.php?page=s2_tools">https://jitp.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/admin.php?page=s2_tools</a> -- don't look real.</p>
<p>Don't think it causes much harm, but we might look to see if this plugin is being utilized on the Commons and deprecate if not. Could be part of a larger effort to identify best methods for facilitating notification of new posts and push users towards that solution.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #6332 (New): Allow uploaded files to be marked as private in an a...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/63322016-10-18T03:41:59ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es

<p>asc/desc sorting. I like the idea but it will be hard to fit into the interface in a way that makes sense, especially since there are multiple kinds of sorting that are salient (created date, edited date, commented date)</p>

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I've had a few people contact me to ask about where they might post announcements. I know we've talked about something like this in the past, but here are a few ideas:</p>
<p>1. A general area where people could post announcements. We could have a checkbox on sign up that asks people whether they want to subscribe by email<br />2. A craigslist type bulletin board -- perhaps done through a group, but is access more through the forum interface than through a group interface<br />3. A general group for announcements.</p>
<p>What do you all think? I think that, generally, it should be an easy to use space that allows opt-in subscriptions.</p>
