Redmine CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #19363 (Assigned): Continued HTML weirdness with forum previewhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/193632023-12-04T02:17:25ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>Hi Ray --</p>
<p>I was just writing a message to my class using the Visual text composer, and I saw again some strangeness in the rendered HTML in the preview</p>
<p>I had entered a few blank lines using Control-Enter, which produced the <br /> code in the preview</p>
<p>I then went to the text mode and switched back to the visual mode, which added <wbr /> tags to the links in the preview (which also showed up in the notification email)</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #18739 (New): PDF Embedder Premiumhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/187392023-09-05T17:39:09ZSyelle Graves
<p>We have a quick question about the PDF embedder: Has the Commons team ever considered the paid version? We ask because we have a newsletter with hyperlinks that we can't embed. and it would be great to have that functionality, which I believe the paid plugin has.</p>
<p>The only alternative I know of is to use an embedded Google doc, but we don't do that because we would have to reformat all of our existing PDFs, which we’ve tried and found not worth it (tables and images take forever to convert from Word to gdocs). Anyway, we're just curious in general if the Commons has considered or would consider it, if it's not too expensive!</p>
<p>Hope it's okay to ask. Thank you!</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #18561 (New): Bravada https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/185612023-08-07T21:50:26ZMarilyn WeberMweber@gc.cuny.edu
<p>Juwon Jun asks:</p>
<p>I am in the process of building a new site and wanted to ask for your advice on choosing a theme. Our team was interested in this particular website (<a class="external" href="https://hindi.la.utexas.edu">https://hindi.la.utexas.edu</a>) and want to emulate the look of it. The closest theme I could find was Bravada, but once you navigate to a sample page, the content appears at the bottom of the header. However, the Hindi at UT Austin website appears to have the content appear at the top, replacing the header video and landing page text. Is this possible to code in Bravada, or another theme?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #18213 (New): Google Analytics 4 migration documentation for usershttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/182132023-05-12T15:40:30ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es
<p>Individual sites on the Commons can have their own Google Analytics tracking. See <a class="issue tracker-1 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Bug: StatPress performance & migrate to per-site Google Analytics (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/10722">#10722</a>. Since <a class="issue tracker-3 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Support: Google Analytics 4 tagging (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/13511">#13511</a>, we have supported Google Analytics 4 in addition to the legacy Universal Analytics. In Summer 2023, Google will be phasing out UA, so we should make some changes on the Commons:</p>
<p>1. Amend our help documentation to indicate that GA4 is the proper system to use, and to guide people on how to migrate their legacy UA accounts to GA4. Those users will then need to be directed on how to enter their new GA4 identifier in place of the old UA- identifier on their Commons sites.<br />2. We should change the language on the Commons dashboard panel so that it no longer indicates that both UA and GA4 are supported.<br />3. Scott, if you think it makes sense, we could build a system to build a list of sites using the old UA IDs. We can then either (a) email them, or (b) have something in the Commons (like an admin notice?) telling them to make the necessary changes, or (c) something else or some combination of these.</p>
<p>Scott, what do you think?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #17739 (Testing Required): Embedding docs from Word in Microsoft ...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/177392023-02-28T17:06:40ZLaurie Hurson
<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>Following up on a recent dev call, here's a list of unique notification types on the Commons:</p>
<pre>
| added_reader |
| bbp_new_reply |
| comment_mention |
| followedpaper_comment |
| followedpaper_edit |
| friendship_accepted |
| friendship_request |
| group_invite |
| membership_request_accepted |
| membership_request_rejected |
| member_promoted_to_admin |
| member_promoted_to_mod |
| mypaper_comment |
| new_at_mention |
| new_membership_request |
| new_message |
| new_wire_post |
| pending_booking |
</pre>
<p>We can eliminate several that are related to Social Paper: <code>added_reader</code>, <code>comment_mention</code>, <code>followedpaper_comment</code>, <code>followedpaper_edit</code>, <code>mypaper_comment</code>. In addition, <code>new_wire_post</code> is linked to a feature that we no longer have on the Commons. This leaves us with:</p>
<p>1. bbp_new_reply - Created by bbPress for user A when user B posts a reply to a forum topic or reply written by A. <br />2. friendship_accepted - Created by BP for user A when user B accepts a friendship request that A sent to B.<br />3. friendship_request - Created by BP for user A when user B sends a friendship request to A.<br />4. group_invite - Created by BP for user A when user B invites A to join a group.<br />5. membership_request_accepted - Created by BP for user A when A requests membership in a group, and the group's admin approves the request<br />6. membership_request_rejected - Created by BP for user A when A requests membership in a group, and the group's admin rejects the request<br />7. member_promoted_to_admin - Created by BP for user A when A is promoted in a group from 'member' to 'admin'<br />8. member_promoted_to_mod - Created by BP for user A when A is promoted in a group from 'member' to 'mod'<br />9. new_at_mention - Created by BP for user A when A is at-mentioned anywhere tracked by BuddyPress. Notably for our purpose, this includes blog posts, blog comments, forum posts.<br />10. new_membership_request - Created by BP for user A when A is the admin of a private group, and user B requests membership in that group<br />11. new_message - Created by BP for user A when A receives a private message<br />12. pending_booking - Created by the events-manager plugin for user A when user A has created an event with booking, and user B books for that event. events-manager is <strong>not</strong> a plugin that we run on the main site, so this must be something that happens on secondary sites</p>
<p>Of these, a number are purely informational. 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12 A right-hand notifications pane could have a message that summarizes the information ("So-and-so replied to your forum post") and then links to that content.</p>
<p>Several of them have obvious follow-up actions. 3, 4, 10, perhaps 11. A right-hand notifications pane could have a link that points you to the page where you'd perform the action, or perhaps it could show you the interface for actually performing the action (ie, accepting the friendship).</p>
<p>I hope this is a helpful start.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #17010 (Assigned): robots.txt https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/170102022-10-12T04:38:23ZMarilyn WeberMweber@gc.cuny.edu

<p>User Ralitsa Todorova writes:<br />"I am using the commons for the courses I am teaching and have a discussion board component where students needs to submit posts. Each week now, there are a handful of students whose responses get flagged as spam, even though they’ve created accounts (and I’ve made the page visible only to those with accounts) and have had posts approved that have gone through before. Is there any way to fix this so that it stops spamming their messages? I get flooded with panicked emails each weekend and it would really help if the site would stop blocking their posts."</p>

<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>Here's the issue that we've been discussing internally:</p>
<p>We need to find a way to announce and keep a record of data quality issues. We're currently using the IR Director Listserv for this but a few days after a data alert has been sent out, people forget about it. What we would love to do is to have some sort of prompt to send out an alert email when an update has been made to only a single page (in this case, <a class="external" href="https://oirap.commons.gc.cuny.edu/alerts-data-quality-issues/">https://oirap.commons.gc.cuny.edu/alerts-data-quality-issues/</a>). The reason why I say a prompt is because we frequently make updates to pages before sharing them.</p>
<p>Thanks very much!!</p>
