Redmine 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>We hope to release an annual report soon getting back on our academic-year annual schedule that was disrupted during Covid. This one should cover two years, 2020-2021 and 2021-2022. To that end, can I ask for:</p>
<p>- Total number of Sites and Groups that we had on June 1st of 2021 and also of 2022</p>
<p>- Similar to #16355 from last month, overall total and by-role total of Members that joined from 6/1/20 to 5/31/21 and 6/1/21 to 5/31/22 (and understood that users can have more than one role)</p>
<p>- Also building off of #16355, I'd like to track all Courses over time since we launched Courses. In that prior ticket you provided this:</p>
<pre><code>[totals] => Array<br /> (<br /> [Summer 2021] => 38<br /> [Fall 2021] => 271<br /> [Spring 2022] => 199<br /> [Summer 2022] => 24<br /> )</code></pre>
<p>Would it be possible to provide the same for each semester from Fall 2018 (when I believe Courses began) to Fall 2022? And if I added each semester up, would I get (at least roughly) to the total number of Courses right now? In #12673 I asked for month by month course creation, but I think that's probably too granular at this stage for the Courses era.</p>
<p>We also looked at Courses in #13402 and I could pull numbers from there but I'm wondering if it's best to do a fresh query across all semesters since it's been a while since we looked at this, then it'll be easier to update in subsequent years.</p>
<p>Many thanks!</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><a class="external" href="https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/9234069?hl=en&ref_topic=9756175">https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/9234069?hl=en&ref_topic=9756175</a></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>Hi All,</p>
<p>Can we add the Conference and OER showcase pages to the main menu on the Commons? I have access to create pages on the main site but am not sure how to add them to this main menu. I don't want to try and mess something up.</p>
<p>Two showcase pages to add to main menu, under "About":</p>

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>Beginnings of the OER Project Showcase page are here: <a class="external" href="https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/open-educational-resource-projects-on-the-commons/">https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/open-educational-resource-projects-on-the-commons/</a></p>
<p>Right now it is limited to projects that have been developed since CUNY began receiving OER funds from the state.</p>
<p>If we want to go further back (there are some open ed projects from 2011, 2015, etc) we can, but wanted to get feedback and discuss the aim of the page (e.g. are we trying to highlight grant funded projects or all open ed work on the commons?)</p>
<p>Thanks,<br />Laurie</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Outreach #9015 (Assigned): Email group admins the email addresses of thei...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/90152017-12-16T13:07:06ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>At the CAT committee meeting yesterday, we discussed the new customized email addresses for groups. One person spoke up to say that this was exactly the issue that had confounded faculty at her campus, and she suggested we get the word out aggressively about this feature.</p>
<p>Her suggestion, which I like, is that we email all group admins the email addresses for their groups, along with a draft message to post to their groups if they wish.</p>
<p>I'm happy to draft text for such a message, but I wanted to check on the feasibility of this. Could we pull from the database to get:<br />1. group admin names<br />2. group admin emails<br />3. group titles<br />4. email addresses for groups</p>
<p>so that we could send such an email?</p>
<p>We could simply post to the group for group admins, but doing so wouldn't give group admins customized info for the groups they administer</p>
<p>One danger to doing this is that people who admin lots of groups will get lots of emails. We may also hear from people running defunct groups, asking for our help in closing them. but maybe that wouldn't be so bad.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Documentation #8666 (Assigned): Create Teaching on the Commons Resource Pagehttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/86662017-09-06T16:52:50ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>Hi Scott,</p>
<p>Per our discussion at our last meeting, I'd like to create a page on the CAC that we can circulate when we tell people that they can now teach courses on the Commons. The page should have sections like the following (to be discussed here):</p>
<ul>
<li>Why Teach on the Commons</li>
<li>Getting Started
<ul>
<li>choosing a model -- group + blog? blog only?</li>
<li>hub/spoke vs. central site blogging?</li>
<li>onboarding a class</li>
<li>Setting up/using a group <br />*FAQ</li>
<li>Who can teach?</li>
<li>integrations (integrating third party services -- youtube, timelines, hosted media spaces, hypothesis)</li>
<li>Visibility</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Resources
<ul>
<li>Sample teaching sites on the Commons</li>
<li>digital pedagogy resources</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<p>I've cc'ed Luke, Lisa, and Paul Hebert on this. I think, Scott, that we'll be able to get you some help on this, but if you could take point on it, I would appreciate it.

<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>
<p><strong>4. Domain Mapping on the Commons</strong><br />Map a custom domain to your Commons blog<br /><a class="external" href="http://codex.commons.gc.cuny.edu/domain-mapping-commons/">http://codex.commons.gc.cuny.edu/domain-mapping-commons/</a></p>
<p><strong>5. Use the Commons as a Conference Hub</strong><br />With free websites, domain mapping, and tools to facilitate publicity, planning and registration, you can create a hub to post agendas, discuss issues, aggregate tweets, live-stream presentations, share archives, and keep the conversation going. <br /><a class="external" href="http://codex.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2014/03/06/got-conference-coming-host-commons/">http://codex.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2014/03/06/got-conference-coming-host-commons/</a></p>
<p><strong>6. Invite People to your group</strong><br /><a class="external" href="http://codex.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2014/02/02/invitations-commons-groups-group-blogs/">http://codex.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2014/02/02/invitations-commons-groups-group-blogs/</a></p>

<p>Hi Ray,</p>
<p>I was just taking a look at the CAC profile on wp.org and it looks to me like we haven't packaged BP RBE for release as a plugin. Is that the case? If so, would you be willing to devote some time to that this fall, perhaps after we move past Gen Chem and 1.7?</p>
