Redmine CUNY 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 - 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>I have tried with the Wayback Machine - for example: <a class="external" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20090328021608/http://commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://web.archive.org/web/20090328021608/http://commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>The CSS is not resolving. I have tried the archive dates before the official launch, but I always get an unstyled page. After the official launch all archive pages style correctly.</p>
<p>Is there a way to see the actual site as it was back then? Even an old screenshot would suffice.</p>

<p>Hi Scott,</p>
<p>So I was recently trying to embed a Tableau visualization into a Commons site when I ran into a couple of roadblocks. I went to our Help Page for embedding from other websites, and it was helpful, but something we may want to add is that when copying the share link over from Tableau, you have to make sure you copy the link under "Original View" <br /><img src="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/attachments/download/12443/Screen%20Shot%202019-09-19%20at%205.40.11%20PM.png" alt="" /></p>
<p>It was only after that discovery that the visualization was fully functioning within the Commons. I attached (or tried to attach) a screenshot to hopefully show you what I'm talking about.</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>An editor on the TLC site just posted this post -- <a class="external" href="https://tlc.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2016/03/10/working-with-ellesl-students-march-16th-1-3pm/">https://tlc.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2016/03/10/working-with-ellesl-students-march-16th-1-3pm/</a> -- and no email notification came through the affiliated BP Group (she is also a member of the group), and no activity item appeared. When I (as admin) unpublished and then republished her post, the notification came and the activity was logged.</p>
<p>Doesn't seem like this is expected behavior, unless I'm missing something, so wanted to report.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #4986 (Assigned): Prepare documentation for Zendesk re web widgethttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/49862015-12-07T19:35:30ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>Per ticket 3660, we will have to use the Zendesk web widget starting Nov 2016. Ray told me that the team did not like that widget due to its lack of customization.

<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>Hi Scott,</p>
<p>Can you do a news blog or codex blog or other post that draws together some of our hero slides and documentation and puts them together into a list of things one can do when building a new community / blog / group resource on the Commons? Here is a starting point:</p>
<p><strong>1. Google Analytics</strong><br />Get GA reports for your Commons blog mailed to you on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis (note: may not work with domain-mapped blogs)<br /><a class="external" href="http://news.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2012/06/23/introducing-google-analytics-for-your-blog/">http://news.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2012/06/23/introducing-google-analytics-for-your-blog/</a></p>
<p><strong>2. Custom cuny.is shortlinks</strong><br />Create a custom cuny.is shortlink for your blog or group<br /><a class="external" href="http://codex.commons.gc.cuny.edu/cuny-url-shortener/">http://codex.commons.gc.cuny.edu/cuny-url-shortener/</a></p>
<p><strong>3. Site Newsletters</strong><br />Use Mailpoet to create attractive newsletters derived from your blog content<br /><a class="external" href="http://codex.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2013/12/08/create-newsletters-wp-site-mailpoet/">http://codex.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2013/12/08/create-newsletters-wp-site-mailpoet/</a></p>
