<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>A faculty member would like to have pop ups on certain pages of the site. She would like to test these two pop up plugins to see which one works better for her needs.</p>
<p>1. <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/popup-maker/">https://wordpress.org/plugins/popup-maker/</a><br />2. <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-terms-popup/">https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-terms-popup/</a></p>
<p>Can we install? Waiting on a link from the faculty member so we can active as needed on her site only.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #17621 (Reporter Feedback): increase Maximum file sizehttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/176212023-02-04T21:18:51ZMarilyn WeberMweber@gc.cuny.edu
<p>From Seonae Byeon:</p>
<p>As mentioned in the past emails, I am a collaborator for the land use oral history project. I am building a website to archive many audios and transcripts. I am unable to upload any audio files. Because the maximum upload file size is set to 128 MB. Could you please increase this to 1500 MB?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #17258 (Reporter Feedback): Connecting Site to grouphttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/172582022-11-17T16:19:45ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>A faculty member is hoping to connect this group and site:</p>
<p>Site:https://intro2cwconroy.commons.gc.cuny.edu/<br />Group: <a class="external" href="https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/220-introduction-to-creative-writing-745070447/">https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/220-introduction-to-creative-writing-745070447/</a></p>
<p>The site was previously connected to another group and she deleted the group because she was not sure how to uncouple. I think the site is still reading as connected to the deleted group because the site does not come up as visible to connect to the new group.</p>
<p>Is there a way to uncouple the site from the deleted group so it can be connected to this new group?</p>

<p>Syelle Graves reports:</p>
<p>We have a hopefully-simple question about a Gravity form that uses the post creation option on this site <a class="external" href="https://weauthors.commons.gc.cuny.edu/category/spanish/">https://weauthors.commons.gc.cuny.edu/category/spanish/</a></p>
<p>The problem is that even though we have the submitted image set to be the featured image of the post draft, the image never appears in the post itself: <a class="external" href="https://weauthors.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/admin.php?page=gf_edit_forms&id=1">https://weauthors.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/admin.php?page=gf_edit_forms&id=1</a> (<a class="external" href="https://weauthors.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/admin.php?page=gf_edit_forms&id=1">https://weauthors.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/admin.php?page=gf_edit_forms&id=1</a>)</p>
<p>I have ignored this for some time, because on the BMCC OL, where I also work, we have observed this to be a bug in this same theme that we are using here on the Commons site (Customizr).</p>
<p>However, perhaps your team has a solve? Is there any way to get the image to show in the post tile without us adding it manually? We are doing a large-scale project of CUNY student writing, and it would be a huge benefit to our instructors who have to publish hundreds of student submissions by hand as they come in.</p>
<p>Many thanks!</p>

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>The folks at the GC Writing Center are working on building out a series of writing/revision resources on their website here:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://gcwritingcenter.commons.gc.cuny.edu/revision-strategies/">https://gcwritingcenter.commons.gc.cuny.edu/revision-strategies/</a></p>
<p>They are using the Bellows plugin to create the sidebar menu you see on the left of that page and other pages clicked on through the menu.</p>
<p>They were wondering if it would be possible to make some adjustments to how the plugin works. It would be ideal if the sidebar menu:</p>
<p>- highlights which page a user is on. <br /> Meaning if you are on RS argument, the background color of the sidebar menu highlights this page.</p>
<p>- show the the path the user took to arrive at each page. <br /> Meaning, at the top each page the breadcrumbs info shows the top level and lower level menu items that lead to that page. For example if I was on this page <a class="external" href="https://gcwritingcenter.commons.gc.cuny.edu/rs_ventilation/">https://gcwritingcenter.commons.gc.cuny.edu/rs_ventilation/</a> the breadcrumbs at the top would be "Home > RS Style > rs_ventilation"</p>
<p>I am not sure what our policy is on editing plugins for single use cases but these changes to Bellows seemed simple enough and potentially useful for other users.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #15176 (Reporter Feedback): Archiving Q Writing & Old Wordpress S...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/151762022-01-11T15:39:32ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi Boone, Ray, All,</p>
<p>I am meeting with librarians and staff from Queens College later this week to talk about the use of Q-Writing and the Commons on their campus. I spoke with them last semester and they had asked about some form of migration or archiving of Q writing on the Commons.</p>
<p>Some background: Q Writing is a Wordpress multi-site platform that the Queens College Center for Teaching and Learning set up years ago. As far as I can tell, it is not as consistently used or maintained as the Commons or other campus-specific Wordpress platforms throughout CUNY. The Queens college folks have asked about the "possibility of incorporating QC’s current WordPress MU site into the Commons." Qwriting currently has 8,195 sites and 22,538 users.</p>
<p>I told them migrating or archiving Q writing in the Commons was probably not possible but when I spoke to Matt briefly about it, he mentioned I should ask about HTML flattening or other possibilities. The Queens college folks had thought about setting up a CBOX to replace Q writing but I told them, and they likely already knew, that setting CBOX presented that same maintenance and sustainability issues they were already experiencing.</p>
<p>Any insight about possibilities for archiving, flattening, etc would be appreciated. Even if we can only do some of the sites (or none), that would be helpful for me to know and share with them when we meet on Thursday.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #14842 (Reporter Feedback): Question about widgets and block editorhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/148422021-10-06T14:27:02ZGina Cherry
<p>I make extensive use of the Widget Context plugin to control which widgets appear in different areas of my websites. As I understand it, this plugin does not work with the new widget block editor. How can I accomplish this type of control over widgets in the new environment?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #14629 (Reporter Feedback): Possible Post Order Bug?https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/146292021-07-26T14:58:27ZSyelle Graves
<p>Greetings,</p>
<p>I am noticing something strange about the post order on this site <a class="external" href="https://8nsshl2021.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://8nsshl2021.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a><br />The posts do not seem to show by the expected default order (reverse chronological.)</p>
<p>In addition, when I activate the simple Custom Post Order plugin in an attempt to get the posts to show in the order we want (happens to be alphabetical by title), that solution is also foiled.</p>
<p>I’ve included two screenshots (dashboard and front end).</p>
<p>When I first set these timestamps in order to show the posts alphabetically, the posts did show in the correct order. But since then, they have reverted to an order that looks random.</p>
<p>I attempted to re-create this on a test site, thinking that it might be related to the 2017 theme, but I got mixed results (the "Hello World" post showed at the top, when it should show last, even when I changed themes, which seemed odd, and the rest showed in normal order. Sorry I don't have more info there.)</p>
<p>Let me know if I can provide any additional info/apologies if this is something simple.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #14538 (Reporter Feedback): Weebly To Commonshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/145382021-06-08T16:25:06ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I met with a faculty member who runs the Lehman Lab for Social Analysis: <a class="external" href="https://www.lehmanlab.org/">https://www.lehmanlab.org/</a></p>
<p>She would like to move the Lehman Lab site onto Commons along with several of the websites for the courses the lab offers, linked below</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://www.lehman-guns-research.org/">https://www.lehman-guns-research.org/</a></p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://nycethnography.weebly.com/">https://nycethnography.weebly.com/</a></p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://foodhealthmigrationlehman.weebly.com/">https://foodhealthmigrationlehman.weebly.com/</a></p>
<p>These 4 sites are on Weebly currently but she would like to move them over to the Commons so they can be further built out and used each semester, in tandem with the courses that will now also run on the Commons.</p>
<p>I have looked online for various methods of exporting Weebly to Wordpress but the exporter that is out there (<a class="external" href="https://weeblytowp.com/">https://weeblytowp.com/</a>) does work in this case because the site are all pages, not blogs.</p>
<p>There seems to be another method for moving to WordPress that involves exporting an HTML archive of the site and then uploading HTML archive to Wordpress. However, I do not believe we have a way to upload HTML archives to the Commons (I think this is a security issue).</p>
<p>Moving these sites to the Commons will be a one time thing since, once they are on the Commons she will continue building out the sites in the CAC space.</p>
<p>Any suggestions for how we might export/import these Weebly sites onto Commmons (preferably avoiding a manual copy/paste method, if possible)?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #11788 (Reporter Feedback): Plugin Request - Browse Aloudhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/117882019-08-25T13:23:14Zscott vothscott.voth@verizon.net

<p>Recently, a faculty member asked about installing the PRO version the plugin 'Draw Attention' (<a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/draw-attention/">https://wordpress.org/plugins/draw-attention/</a>) for image annotation for her art history class. The free version currently on the Commons only allows annotation on one image per site and she was hoping to use it for student assignments (30-60 images per site). The plugin does not have front-end annotation but rather requires the user to create the annotations through the dashboard area of the plugin. In the dashboard, users select the clickable areas for front-end users to explore. From what I can tell in the free version, like a post, a user chooses an image, adds content (annotations) and posts the image. Tested here: <a class="external" href="https://coursetest.commons.gc.cuny.edu/?da_image=123">https://coursetest.commons.gc.cuny.edu/?da_image=123</a></p>
<p>The plugin is fairly easy to use through the dashboard interface but its unclear whether users can annotate images posted by others (but probably not, like posts)so its possible that this plugin does not allow for shared/collaborative annotation on a image.</p>
<p>Just FYI, the PRO version costs $74/year for one site and $124/year for unlimited sites, but I know the Commons tends to steer away from paid plugins. Moreover, dashboard editing and non-collaborative annotation may not be not ideal for a class setup. I think front-end annotation might work better since having users access the image through the back-end and set up annotations might be confusing for students and require admin user status as opposed to author status.</p>
<p>I'm not sure of other tools that do collaborative image annotation (other than VOCAT). One possibility is Demon Image Annotation but this plugin might work the same way as Draw Attention</p>

<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>We might want to investigate the Subscribe 2 plugin... these users -- <a class="external" href="https://jitp.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/admin.php?page=s2_tools">https://jitp.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/admin.php?page=s2_tools</a> -- don't look real.</p>
<p>Don't think it causes much harm, but we might look to see if this plugin is being utilized on the Commons and deprecate if not. Could be part of a larger effort to identify best methods for facilitating notification of new posts and push users towards that solution.</p>
