Redmine CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #19990 (Assigned): Issue on About Page when logged in as super adminhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/199902024-03-15T16:21:38ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>I went to update our About page to add Zach to the Commons community team listing and ran into a weird bug, where Laurie's profile photo is shown on a modal overlay. I am experiencing this both on a regular browser window in Chrome and an incognito browser window where I am logged in a super admin.

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>A user posted a message in a public group forum at 1:31pm:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/cuny-manifold-users/forum/topic/upcoming-manifold-workshops-2/">https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/cuny-manifold-users/forum/topic/upcoming-manifold-workshops-2/</a></p>
<p>It was cross-posted on several other groups, which posted at 2:03. Examples are below, both groups are also public</p>

<p>I received an email from the COIL forum at 2:37, see screenshot.</p>
<p>Two questions:</p>
<p>1. Robin (user) was wondering: Is this lag time between original posting, cross posting, and email typical and correct functionality? I thought maybe yes, since all messages have to be pulled through to each location, but wanted to be sure to ask.</p>
<p>2. Why wasn't the email I received from the CUNY Manifold Group, where the forum post was originated?</p>
<p>I received the email of the group forum post from the COIL group.This seems strange since both groups are public. I would think that a user would want the email to come from the forum where the post was originally shared.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #19966 (Reporter Feedback): Slow Load Time on Sitehttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/199662024-03-13T14:43:08ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>A user is developing a robust program website for a GC department. Right now it is on a dev domain and he plans to clone the site into the final domain soon. But first he is hoping to resolve the slow load times he is noticing on the site:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://lmistest.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://lmistest.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>-<br />From the User:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I am just getting really slow load times, and a lot of times, images don’t load. I was worried that I had clogged the site with too many images or something...</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>I have a lot of images currently uploaded to the site, especially a few big splash images, which I will ultimately delete, as I was just using these for drafts. However, we will be writing about 40 descriptions of projects we have worked on, and each one will have at least one (smaller) image, so I worry about the site slowing down even more?</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>I also worry it has to do with how many changes I made to the underlying theme (I’m currently using “Raft”)? I would really like to switch the theme to just a Wordpress Twenty Twenty-Four theme, but I spent a lot of time tweaking margins and padding etc. to make things look how I wanted them, so I don’t want to start from scratch… That said, if it’s an issue with the images, maybe the theme doesn’t have much to do with it?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>-</p>
<p>I ran the site through a free (questionably accurate) load time checker and it did report the site was very slow. Can you all confirm slow load time and help diagnose what might be causing this?</p>

<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I replied to this ticket below (Ticket 4583) through WS desk on Friday afternoon. Now when I go to find the ticket in WS desk it is nowhere to be found. See screenshots.</p>
<p>This has happened several times that I cannot find the tickets I was working on and therefore I cannot check if they have been replied to. Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug or are the tickets archived somewhere that I cannot access?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #19550 (Assigned): A few issues/questions around CV editorhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/195502024-01-18T17:19:39ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>Hi All -- I just made some updates to my CV, which worked well! I have some questions, though:</p>
<p>1. I added a cover image and now want to remove it. However, I'm unable to get my cursor focus to be on the modal, so I can't scroll to see the options to remove the cover image. When I scroll, the background of the page moves, but I can't adjust the modal to the point where I can see any options. Screenshot attached and I can create a video if needed</p>
<p>2. after I updated my CV (I had one in the system previously), many content blocks were noted as problematic and I was asked to try to attempt recovery. Is this expected behavior? Screenshot attached.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #19400 (New): Images not loadinghttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/194002023-12-11T18:17:15ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>This is the LMIS test site I was refering to on the team call last friday.</p>
<p>The web desginer got in touch with me to report that he is having trouble with the images loading slowly or not at all and I am able to re-create this issue in firefox and chrome.</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://lmistest.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://lmistest.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>Are you seeing this issue? Can you look into why these images are not loading?</p>
<p>I have asked for more info about any plugin installs recently, but I met with him last Wednesday and the site was working fine. I will send any more info he can provide soon.</p>

<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 - Bug #19277 (New): Hostos students can't registerhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/192772023-11-15T22:17:42ZMarilyn WeberMweber@gc.cuny.edu

<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 #17102 (New): Universal footer revisions for ToS / CChttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/171022022-10-25T16:06:51ZColin McDonald
<p>As part of our Creative Commons licensing and display overhaul, we want to edit the universal footer that appears across all Commons pages (see attached for its current state).</p>
<p>The main issue is the four links that appear under the nav items: Help, Privacy, Terms of Service, Creative Commons (CC) license unless otherwise noted.</p>
<p>(Incidentally, we have another project we should resolve here to update the text at some of these links: <a class="external" href="https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/cac-community-team-project-planning/forum/topic/summer-project-review-of-commons-tos-privacy-policy-and-mission-statement-2/">https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/cac-community-team-project-planning/forum/topic/summer-project-review-of-commons-tos-privacy-policy-and-mission-statement-2/</a>)</p>
<p>I'm proposing we change the fourth link to say Creative Commons License Info, and then instead of linking to this general CC license page that we do now:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/</a></p>
<p>Instead we link to a new page of documentation that explains a few of the CC points we've made in recent meetings:</p>
<p>- CC-licensed content on the Commons is also subject to our ToS, which allows us to truncate, show excerpts, repurpose, etc as per the needs of our design and the Commons overall<br />- The overall Commons content philosophy and distinction: You own your content on the Commons, different than on almost any other platform or social network. Explain what this means, how you can protect/export/etc.<br />- You can change the CC license of your Commons content at any time, on a space-by-space level.<br />- You can also choose no CC license at all, later or during space setup, and retain all rights with the exception of the ToS allowances mentioned above.<br />- A section on CC licensing and OER, which would be related to <a class="issue tracker-2 status-1 priority-4 priority-default child" title="Feature: OER tag and CC licensing notification system (New)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/17101">#17101</a></p>
<p>This version of the universal footer would only show up on our "core" Commons pages, like the homepage and directories -- we will need to spell out what this core contains.</p>
<p>A separate version would appear for this footer on individual Commons site and group pages, which will have their own licensing decisions and display. This version could just omit the fourth link to CC information, to reduce possible confusion there.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #17101 (New): OER tag and CC licensing notification systemhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/171012022-10-25T16:04:02ZColin McDonald
<p>We discussed in our last monthly meeting an idea to better link the OER tag during course site creation (or later editing such a site) with our Creative Commons licensing options.</p>
<p>It was proposed that if a user selects the OER tag, there would be an inline message if they have no CC license selected (either during the creation flow or on the site in Settings if the tag is being added later).</p>
<p>The message would say something like:</p>
<p>"We noticed that you have tagged your site as an OER but no CC license is present. Please CC license the open content, or the whole site in Settings>Writing. To learn more about open licensing visit our documentation [link TBD]."</p>
<p>Let's talk more about the mechanics of this, but I wanted to get the general idea down here.</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>Hi All,</p>
<p>The release of the OER tag and the Open Education institute I ran in June has highlighted some issues with the Creative Commons license widget we are running on the commons, particularly on sites.</p>
<p>By default, every page of every site site is tagged with a CC license. I think we should revisit that. People may want some of their content openly licensed but not all of it. For example, Raffi Khatchadourian wrote to the Zendesk asking how to list some of his pages on his main site as oer but not all of the pages. Currently this is not really possible - the CC license is only available on a page by page basis or it encompasses the whole site. I am proposing we allow CC for some pages and no clear open license on other pages (hence signifying they are not open).</p>
<p>I think the automatic, by default tagging of every page as CC, regardless of whether a user has chosen the CC license knowingly, is an issue.</p>
<p>This also raises questions about creating an option to allows folks to restrict some of their work. Maybe we don't want to provide a "closed" option but this could also occur through simply not applying a CC license by default to every page and allowing a user to knowingly assign the CC license to only "open" content.</p>
<p>I think all of these issues, ideas, and options warrant a discussion, which hopefully we can pick up in the fall.</p>
