Redmine 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 That means that we need to remove the out-of-date CommentPress theme, as well as these two CommentPress plugins: Commentpress Ajaxified, CommentPress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and verified that both were updated 6 years ago (cp-ajax-comments, commentpress), which verifies that they are just as outdated as the CommentPress theme (also updated 6 years ago).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 #5183 (New): Creating a new paper when viewing an existing paperhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/51832016-01-29T20:09:25ZRaffi Khatchadourianraffi.khatchadourian@hunter.cuny.edu
<p>It doesn't seem intuitive as to how to create a new paper when I have finished one and am viewing the published version. I had to press the social paper (beta) button in order to do so and then create a new paper.</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>Right now, when users go to edit their portfolios, information about who can see that info appears in red (see attached screenshot). Since this info suggests something that the people highlighted CAN see, I think it should be green rather than red. Sam, do you agree?</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>When creating a new document, it is not clear how/if it is associated with one of the groups. Unless the user chooses a group before clicking ‘Create New Doc,’ there is no way to associate a document with a group using this form.</p>
<p>Add an option for connecting a group to the ‘Create New Doc’ form (in a similar format to ‘Tags’ and ‘Parent’).</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Design/UX #4225 (New): Add information to DIRT page (in Create a Group)https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/42252015-06-25T15:01:53ZSamantha Raddatz
<p>The eighth step, to enable ‘Digital Research Tools,’ does not have any explanatory information about what this tab offers. Can it be customized or is it a set list of tools chosen by CUNY?</p>
<p>Add information about these tools, why a group might want to add this tab, or link to Codex (<a class="external" href="http://codex.commons.gc.cuny.edu/dirt/">http://codex.commons.gc.cuny.edu/dirt/</a>)<br />If customizable, add those options here too.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Design/UX #4222 (New): Add information to 'Delete Account' pagehttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/42222015-06-25T14:57:05ZSamantha Raddatz

<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>If I click "reply" to an activity item on My Commons related to a forum post, where will my reply be posted -- on the activity stream or on the forum itself (or both)? A bit unclear. Screenshot attached</p>
<p>Boone, can you please answer this and then, if you think it is warranted, assign to Chris/Samantha for discussion?

<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>
