Redmine CUNY Academic Commons - Design/UX #19814 (New): BBPress Forum convert to blocks?https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/198142024-02-22T23:58:41ZSara Cannon
<p>I was looking into BBPress installs and the one on WordPress.org support forums uses blocks instead of the classic editor for posting. Would this be possible with our installation or would this be a heavy lift?</p>

<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>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>Designs:<br /><img src="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/attachments/download/27376/Screenshot%202024-01-29%20at%203.50.13%20PM.png" alt="" /></p>

<p>The Current CV Mobile view can use some design refinement. The current view has some alignment issues where the CV menu creates a scroll-to-the right situation.</p>
<p>I did a mobile comp that cleaned up the layout. Note the CV edit menu turns the "View CV" text into an Icon. This is used in WordPress Core.</p>
<p>The image credit is way too prominent, so I moved it down to the footer.</p>
<p>See the below Screenshot that shows what the mobile view is like currently, and what it could look like with a bit of cleaning up.</p>

<p>After discussing the deleted account problems in <a class="issue tracker-3 status-4 priority-4 priority-default" title="Support: Sites missing pages, menus, icons, banners (Reporter Feedback)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/18982">#18982</a> during the community call today, we agreed we should strengthen/clarify the text and prompts on the Delete Account screen in Settings.</p>
<p>I've attached how it looks/reads right now, though of course this will change visually with the upcoming release.</p>
<p>Boone, for starters, can you help us confirm the content types that will be removed when an account is deleted? Posts, pages, uploaded media, files in any Group libraries, etc? Is it easy to get a list of those?</p>
<p>Then we will figure out how much to say on the screen itself, while linking out to documentation that covers the other deletion implications. We should at least say up front that before deleting your account, you should attempt to contact fellow admins of any jointly-managed Sites or Groups to ensure they have re-attributed anything they want to save before your deletion.</p> 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 - Design/UX #10580 (New): Primary nav item reviewhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/105802018-10-24T16:29:02ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es
<p>This is primarily about the main nav under the Commons logo throughout the main site, but probably also affects the "CUNY Academic Commons" dropdown at the upper-left of the toolbar.</p>
<p>Let's gather some analytic data about the use of these nav items, and think about how and whether to restructure the IA, or represent them differently (especially on mobile?).</p>
<p>Previously: <a class="issue tracker-2 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Feature: Remove 1 item from main nav bar when we add courses (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/10229">#10229</a>.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - System Upgrade #8078 (Assigned): CommentPress Updateshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/80782017-05-02T16:59:09ZMargaret Galvan
<p>It looks like we need to do some housekeeping regarding CommentPress as we have, in effect, multiple versions activated because of how the theme/plugin has grown and changed its name along with updates.</p>
<p>In the past, you would activate the CommentPress theme and then also activate certain CommentPress plugins to make CommentPress work. Now, you simply activate the CommentPress Core plugin (<a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/commentpress-core/">https://wordpress.org/plugins/commentpress-core/</a>), which has a theme embedded. That means that we need to remove the out-of-date CommentPress theme, as well as these two CommentPress plugins: Commentpress Ajaxified, CommentPress</p>
<p>I have looked into these two CommentPress plugins on our GitHub install and verified that both were updated 6 years ago (cp-ajax-comments, commentpress), which verifies that they are just as outdated as the CommentPress theme (also updated 6 years ago). <a class="external" href="https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/tree/1.10.x/wp-content/plugins">https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/tree/1.10.x/wp-content/plugins</a></p>
<p>Additionally, we should update the CommentPress Core plugin. We are at version 3.9.3, but the most recent version is 3.4: <a class="external" href="http://futureofthebook.org/commentpress/download/">http://futureofthebook.org/commentpress/download/</a></p> CUNY Academic Commons - Design/UX #4903 (Assigned): Improving visual appearance of event calendarshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/49032015-11-14T21:52:27ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>Hi Sam,</p>
<p>Are there changes in layout/color/design/alignment/sizing that you can suggest to improve the appearance of events calendars that contain multiple events on a single day? Please see the attached screenshot and this link - <a class="external" href="http://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/gc-events-and-workshops/events/">http://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/gc-events-and-workshops/events/</a> - for an example. It looks pretty crowded to me and also hard to even tell that there are multiple events in a single box. We might look to how GCal handles this for guidance</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Design/UX #4622 (New): Profile Visibility Settingshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/46222015-09-16T13:25:12ZSamantha Raddatz
<p>While taking a look at the profile set up and editing process, I've been trying to de-clutter the page. One way I'd like to do that is by reducing the number of instances of 'This field can be seen by:'. Here are a few possible treatments:</p>
<p>a) One overarching 'This information can be seen by:' setting for the full profile page<br />b) Grouping the fields together into types (about, social media, professional websites, etc.) and including a 'These fields can be seen by:' option for each group.<br />c) Grouping the fields together into types (about, social media, professional websites, etc.) and including a 'This field can be seen by:' option on each field within.</p>
<p>It was discussed on yesterday's dev call and the general feeling was that allowing all or most of the profile to be set to private with just one 'switch' (option a) would be counterproductive to the community aspect of the site. In order to dig into what makes the most sense beyond that, Boone offered to gather some stats on how often people are using the 'This field can be seen by:' options and which fields they tend to utilize it for. This ticket serves as a reminder for that and a conversation area to decide which way to go.</p>
<p>Once we suss this out, I'll include this decision in a set of mock-ups with this and other suggestions for profile process improvements.</p>

<p>During testing, a few users missed the venue dropdown due to the delay between typing/down-arrow-click and the dropdown appearing. If there's any way for that feedback to happen more quickly it could prevent users from passing it by.</p>

<p>Many users fail to customize their public portfolio content. It's been determined that adding this to the registration process is both technically complicated and unnecessarily lengthy.<br />We need to come up with a mechanism to encourage users to customize their portfolio. Might be solvable through some kind of pop-up reminder -- could be considered in the sitewide announcements plan (<a class="issue tracker-15 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Design/UX: Change 'Public Profile Details' in Register (Create Account) form to be consistent (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/4230">#4230</a>).</p>

<p>This grew out of talk around a request to change a button in another ticket (<a class="external" href="http://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/665">http://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/665</a>). After doing a deal of looking around and cataloging I found our button treatment is mostly consistent but could use improving in places.</p>
<p>The purpose of the ticket is to have a discussion on what the standard button(s), most likely there will be 2 or 3 types, should look like.</p>
<p>I don't have a lot of suggestions at this point. I want to bring to light what's out there and start the discussion. There are so many buttons it's too much to talk about here so I made this page:<br /><a class="external" href="http://www.teachingmultimedia.com/commons/buttons/buttons.html">http://www.teachingmultimedia.com/commons/buttons/buttons.html</a></p>
<p>I also printed that as a PDF which is attached in case you want to write comments directly on the document or take it offline (not perfect but it came out OK).</p>
