Redmine CUNY Academic Commons - Support #19680 (New): JetPack https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/196802024-02-05T18:19:08ZMarilyn WeberMweber@gc.cuny.edu
<p>My name is Malkah, and I am a writing consultant at the Graduate Center's Writing Center. We are in the process of creating a newsletter, which we will send to our mailing list, and we would like to use JetPack since it is already linked to our CUNY Commons website.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, as our mailing list exceeds 100 recipients, we cannot use the free version of JetPack. I am writing to inquire if</p>
<p>1. CUNY has a paid subscription to JetPack, which we can access.<br />2. If CUNY does not have a paid subscription to JetPack, can we at the Writing Center purchase this subscription and still have JetPack linked to our CUNY Commons website?</p>
<p>Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.</p>

<p>Ned Benton asks:</p>
<p><a class="email" href="mailto:nbenton@jjay.cuny.edu">nbenton@jjay.cuny.edu</a> | January 26, 2024 9:20 am<br />Will CUNY Commons install any plug-ins that connect to AI services. I am thinking of this one but there may be others.</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://wordpress.com/plugins/ai-engine">https://wordpress.com/plugins/ai-engine</a></p>
<p>I have posted in NESRI an article about AI and slavery records. Here it is.</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://nesri.commons.gc.cuny.edu/artificial-intelligence-and-slavery-research/">https://nesri.commons.gc.cuny.edu/artificial-intelligence-and-slavery-research/</a></p>
<p>While this article reveals risks and deficiencies, I continue to think that AI could become a useful way to explain records of slavery at the individual level. We are working on a project we call NESRI 2.0 which involves adding several more fields to will enrich the interconnections between the 90,000 records that we have.</p>
<p>If we eventually do this system-wide, we have the challenge of presenting this to users. I first approach is to add a table to our locality reports that lists the families, in the locality specified for the report, with a link to click into the records of any family, so people in Boston can learn of families of enslaved people in the 1700s. But I also think that I can code the database to construct a test string that can be submitted as a prompt to an AI service to get back an essay about the family - the names and relationships and events in their lives and in the community when they lived. The service would have to have guardrails to not make up information.</p>

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I followed up with Zach after our community call today to clarify how he would like to contribute to the model CV we will use for Commons outreach for the next release.</p>
<p>Rather than using his own personal and public CV, Zach is available to help build out a model graduate student CV for us to use in outreach about the new CV features.</p>
<p>To get this going, a few questions: <br />- should zach spin up a new account to go with this CV? <br />-- If yes, should the new account and model CV be done on the dev site and then moved over to production? <br />- If we are using this model CV for outreach (and possibly documentation? not sure) what is the timeline on when this needs to be up and running?</p>
<p>I'm sure there are other considerations or questions I am missing so please feel free to let us know what we need to do!</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #18019 (New): Newsletter, anewhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/180192023-04-13T00:42:42ZMarilyn WeberMweber@gc.cuny.edu

<p>This seems like a bit of a thorny issue but I wanted to write it up because it presents an important use case highlighting user confusion with the group library.</p>
<p>A faculty member is using a group to teach on the Commons. She only added two items to her group library: an external link to her one drive which was already set up with PDF readings (1) and the class zoom link (2).</p>
<p>Students have been uploading images, pdfs, word docs, etc to the forum. Now the group library is "too messy" and her original links have been shifted to page two since they were the first items added. From what I can tell, she cannot delete the forum attachments or put the forum attachments in a folder because when she goes to edit the attachments from the library, she is taken to the forum post - not the typical edit library item page because the items were not added via library.</p>
<p>The faculty member was confused by the auto-add of forum attachments to the library (since she did not want this) and was dismayed that she could not organize, delete, or hide the attachments to clean up the library.</p>
<p>A few questions:</p>
<p>- Can forum attachments be deleted from a group library? (maybe I am missing something here.) Is the only way to delete attachments from the library to delete the original forum post? We may want to consider having a way to hide, delete, or add forum attachments to a folder so that they do not clog up the library.</p>
<p>- The drop down allows a user to view forum attachments but not a way to hide these attachments from view. Could we consider a way to hide forum attachments in the library or auto-create a forum attachments folder that makes attachments only visible when this folder is opened?</p>
<p>I realize this might be partially mitigated by the release next week so might be best to table this info for now but I wanted to be sure to write it up. And perhaps a possible next step might be to auto-add a forum attachment folder and/or a way to show/hide forum attachments.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #13048 (New): Jupyter Notebooks supporthttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/130482020-07-14T15:22:47ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es

<p>I have retested following the release and there are still some issues:</p>
<ol>
<li>the footer is does not display correctly</li>
<li>"Create A New Doc" goes to create a new group/site/group+site (Special Pages)</li>
<li> Site Home goes to CAC Homepage (Special Pages)</li>
<li>Recently Active button shows all Commons members who are recently active</li>
<li>Who is Online shows all Commons members who are online</li>
<li>If you change the theme to a non commentpress theme, and try to change back, you can only change to Comment Default theme, not the Modern theme (you have to deactivate plugin and reactivate to get to the Modern theme again)</li>
</ol>
<p>Most of these are not terribly serious, and the plugin still works, but it would be nice to get them fixed in the future, when there is time.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #12328 (New): Sign up Code for Non-CUNY Facultyhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/123282020-01-27T16:23:58ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I am in touch with two faculty teaching a data viz course this spring. They would like to join the commons to set up their course but do not have cuny email addresses. Can I provide them with a sign up code to allow them to join? If so, how does the code get created?</p>

<p>Explore ways to ensure students know that privacy is under their control. Maybe this is just adding a sentence in the registration process, or if they select the student checkbox, a popup could appear to notify them of their right to use an alias, and that display names can be changed at any time.</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 - Bug #11024 (New): Subsites should not show "you should update your .htacc...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/110242019-01-28T18:35:05ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es

<p>Hi Commons Team,</p>
<p>I've tried several times to remove the "Sociable" plugin from the JITP Staging Site (<a class="external" href="http://jitpstaging.commons.gc.cuny.edu">http://jitpstaging.commons.gc.cuny.edu</a>) but the plugin will not deactivate. After clicking the deactivate button, the browser refreshes but the plugin is still listed as active. This happens in Fire Fox and Chrome.</p>
