Redmine CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #20062 (Staged for Production Release): Quick Edit Feature Resets Pos...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/200622024-03-26T23:03:59ZZachary Muhlbauer
<p>When I use the Quick Edit option to make changes to an existing post, the author of the post automatically resets to the first individual listed in the site's user list, regardless of who the original author was.</p>
<p>I replicated the issue in Firefox and Safari as well as across multiple themes. I also spoke with another instructor and confirmed that the Quick Edit option resets post authorship for them, too.</p>
<p>It's a nasty little bug if only because determining the original author of certain posts can be tricky and time-consuming when there isn't an available edit history for the post.</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>From a WS ticket:</p>
<p>I am currently facing an issue while attempting to edit the sidebar to display the course information on my page: <a class="external" href="https://kcccebioblitz.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://kcccebioblitz.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a>. Despite my efforts to modify the content, the sidebar editing option seems to be inaccessible, and I can’t update the preset from my Dashboard.<br />To provide further context, I have attached an image illustrating the specific area of concern. Unfortunately, I am unable to locate the sidebar editing feature within the editing interface.<br />I would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter. If there are specific steps or tools, I need to use to access the sidebar editing options, kindly guide me through the process.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #18982 (Reporter Feedback): Sites missing pages, menus, icons, ba...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/189822023-10-05T23:52:11ZMarilyn WeberMweber@gc.cuny.edu
<p>Syelle Graves reports:</p>
<p>"Our websites are acting very strange across three browsers.<br />Our main site menu is sprawled out instead of dropping down, and the site homepage icon/banner is gone: <br /><a class="external" href="https://iletc.commons.gc.cuny.edu/we-authors/">https://iletc.commons.gc.cuny.edu/we-authors/</a> <br />These sites are missing most of the pages that we had in the menu, and the missing pages are gone from dashboard, as well, not even in a trash folder:<br /><a class="external" href="https://weauthors.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://weauthors.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a><br /><a class="external" href="https://8nsshl2021.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://8nsshl2021.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a> (this site also has no more image at the top of the site).<br />Is there some kind of bug going on at the Commons?

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>A message from a new user about migrating a site to the Commons:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"I've read your documentation on importing a wordpress site via XML, but given the large volume of content (like archive blog posts with featured >images and galleries) and especially the high degree of customization to the theme and css, that option doesn't seem very promising.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>The current department site is here:<br /><a class="external" href="https://english.ccny.cuny.edu/">https://english.ccny.cuny.edu/</a></p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>Are there any backup or migration plugins that can run on CUNY Commons?"</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Are we able to upload a custom theme they may be using to help with the re-build?</p>
<p>Is there a reason that XML export/import might not work here? Is there an alternative, or should I suggest the XML process only?</p>
<p>I found a few possible back up plugins - do any of these look reasonable for use on the Commons?</p>

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>As you may or may not know, CUNY has been transitioning all faculty, staff, and students to Microsoft Office 365 cloud. So instead of having Microsoft Office software, everyone now gets these tools and saves docs etc in the 365 cloud.</p>
<p>Someone in a training asked about embedding the Live cloud-hosted word docs into a commons site, similar to how Google docs works, so that when they update their Word doc the commons embed is also updated. This is different from how Word and the Commons works now, where faculty have to upload the static document.</p>
<p>Some examples of sharing links from a test cloud-hosted word doc:</p>

<p>Hi Commons Team,</p>
<p>(Marilyn says "Please open up a ticket in Redmine about this.")</p>
<p>We have an important need for a website to be displayed in Avenir font, due to branding reasons for a DOE-funded center. The site was moved over from Wix, where Avenir was a built-in option.</p>
<p>We’re creating the Commons site in Canvas, which has no option for Avenir that we can see.</p>
<p>Is it possible that there is an option to add code to change the site’s font to Avenir? Or, are there any themes on the Commons that have Avenir font built in or allow code to allow it? Montserrat, the recommended alternative via Google fonts, looks noticeably different from our years of existing/already-distributed materials, which we don't have a way to go back in time and change. This includes our banner and logo, which we will have to change to match our (already-designed) site.</p>
<p>Is there anything we can do? <br />Many thanks!</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #16682 (Reporter Feedback): User cannot see "My sites" https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/166822022-08-29T14:51:41ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I was on a meeting this morning where the user was sharing her screen.</p>
<p>User: <a class="external" href="https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/members/towallp/">https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/members/towallp/</a></p>
<p>Site: <a class="external" href="https://towallp.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://towallp.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>A couple issues here:</p>
<p>1. The user has no "my sites" tab on "Sites" page when logged in<br />2. Site does not come up as linked to users account<br />3. Site is not returned in search in sites directory</p>
<p>I am not sure what is going on here but I think there is a bug somewhere in the linking of the site and user.</p>

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>The release of the OER tag and the Open Education institute I ran in June has highlighted some issues with the Creative Commons license widget we are running on the commons, particularly on sites.</p>
<p>By default, every page of every site site is tagged with a CC license. I think we should revisit that. People may want some of their content openly licensed but not all of it. For example, Raffi Khatchadourian wrote to the Zendesk asking how to list some of his pages on his main site as oer but not all of the pages. Currently this is not really possible - the CC license is only available on a page by page basis or it encompasses the whole site. I am proposing we allow CC for some pages and no clear open license on other pages (hence signifying they are not open).</p>
<p>I think the automatic, by default tagging of every page as CC, regardless of whether a user has chosen the CC license knowingly, is an issue.</p>
<p>This also raises questions about creating an option to allows folks to restrict some of their work. Maybe we don't want to provide a "closed" option but this could also occur through simply not applying a CC license by default to every page and allowing a user to knowingly assign the CC license to only "open" content.</p>
<p>I think all of these issues, ideas, and options warrant a discussion, which hopefully we can pick up in the fall.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #14994 (In Progress): Clear Cache on CDEVhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/149942021-11-28T21:40:40Zscott vothscott.voth@verizon.net

<p>The CC license is unintentionally displayed at the bottom of every page and post on the CETLS web site (in addition to being intentionally displayed in a widget in the footer): <a class="external" href="https://cetls.bmcc.cuny.edu/">https://cetls.bmcc.cuny.edu/</a>. I recently realized that this behavior may be specific to the theme I am using for the site (Canvas).

<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>Received a bunch of requests to join a private group today, and some users included notes. When I went to the approval screen (Group Home page > Admin > Requests) the "Accept" button and the text of the message were overlaid on top of one another. We should clean up the display here so that the text can be read.</p>
