Redmine CUNY Academic Commons - Support #18133 (Hold): Elementor builder problemhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/181332023-04-28T14:45:02ZMarilyn WeberMweber@gc.cuny.edu
<p>From Indranil Choudhury, Via ZendesK:</p>
<p>I'm working with CITE CUNY<<a class="external" href="https://computinged.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://computinged.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a>> and I've encountered a few issues that I haven't had luck solving. [note from Marilyn - first issue is a separate ticket]</p>
<p>2. When using the Elementor builder with the Elementor Hello theme, when I try to apply a site kit, I get an error. This seems to be a common issue, and the solution is outlined here<<a class="external" href="https://element.how/elementor-kit-something-went-wrong/&gt;">https://element.how/elementor-kit-something-went-wrong/&gt;</a>, but I don't think I can access those settings.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #16540 (Reporter Feedback): Resolution Size Issue with Shuttershot themehttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/165402022-07-27T16:14:04ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I have an inquiry from a professor about a resolution issue on this site: <a class="external" href="https://fonetica.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://fonetica.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>The site appears fine at first but then the Commons footers loads over most of the site. I think this might be a theme issue but don't want to un-install and reset the design of the site. Are you able to identify if this is a bug with the "Shuttershot" theme without un-installing? (if not that's fine). If it is a bug with the theme, can it be resolved?</p>
<p>I recognize that this is a pretty old theme so if not worth patching the bug, perhaps I need to source a newer similar theme for activation on the Commons. And even if we can resolve the bug, maybe we turn this theme off as an option for new sites?</p>
<p>(on another note, i think this warrants a review of our 65 themes, which i can plan to get to during the fall semester)</p>
<p>Thanks!</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #9515 (Reporter Feedback): Text to Speech plugin - "More Slowly" chec...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/95152018-04-04T14:06:23Zscott vothscott.voth@verizon.net
<p>Hi Ray - Thanks for activating. Samuel is reporting that the checkbox "More Slowly" is not slowing down the speech when he checks it. Can you take a look? Site is <a class="external" href="https://elementaryitalian.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://elementaryitalian.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>We had to deactivate one plugin (media element html5) to get some pages to show the change - maybe another plugin is causing troubles? The checkbox is in the footer of each page.</p>

<p>Two participants in the OER Faculty Fellows program have reported being confused why so many "Participants" users are registered on their sites.</p>
<p>Each of those faculty members is using the BBPress plugin, and our hypothesis is that the auto-role setting at wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bbpress, which is automatically selected, is adding anyone who visits the site as a participant.</p>
<p>This site, for instance, has nearly 300 participants -- <a class="external" href="https://freequeercuny.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://freequeercuny.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a>. Here is one of the other sites: <a class="external" href="https://bmccsoc091.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://bmccsoc091.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a>.</p>
<p>We'd like to:</p>
<p>1. verify that it is the act of visiting a site that is adding someone as a participant, or whether there might be another issue<br />2. determine whether or not it is indeed the auto-role setting that is determining this<br />3. discuss whether it makes sense to toggle that setting to "off" as a default.</p>
<p>Laurie, Matt-- if I'm misreporting our discussions or missing any data, please correct!</p>
<p>Thx-</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #8211 (New): Theme Suggestions: Material Design-Inspired Themeshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/82112017-05-30T16:07:25ZMargaret Galvan
<p>As part of my Theme Assessment (<a class="external" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/7828">https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/7828</a>), I am identifying and suggesting new themes for the Commons to adopt.</p>
<p>In this thread, I am suggesting recently updated themes found in the WordPress.org repository that are built off of Google's Material Design: <a class="external" href="https://material.io/guidelines/">https://material.io/guidelines/</a><br />To note, all of these themes are responsive, and Material Design thoughtfully approaches accessibility, which Luke wanted me to prioritize: <a class="external" href="https://material.io/guidelines/usability/accessibility.html">https://material.io/guidelines/usability/accessibility.html</a></p>
<p>The first definite suggestion is <strong>Materialize</strong>, which DH scholar Anastasia Salter has adopted for a web project, as she discusses here: <a class="external" href="http://www.chronicle.com/blogs/profhacker/thinking-digital-with-external-review-materials/64127">http://www.chronicle.com/blogs/profhacker/thinking-digital-with-external-review-materials/64127</a><br />Here's the theme info: <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/themes/materialize/">https://wordpress.org/themes/materialize/</a></p>
<p>Some other potential suggestions:<br /><strong>Teslata</strong> <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/themes/teslata/">https://wordpress.org/themes/teslata/</a><br /><strong>Sirius Lite</strong> <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/themes/sirius-lite/">https://wordpress.org/themes/sirius-lite/</a><br /><strong>SEO WP</strong> <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/themes/seo-wp/">https://wordpress.org/themes/seo-wp/</a><br /><strong>CPMmagz</strong> <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/themes/cpmmagz/">https://wordpress.org/themes/cpmmagz/</a><br /><strong>Hestia</strong> <a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/themes/hestia/">https://wordpress.org/themes/hestia/</a></p> 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 - Support #5826 (Reporter Feedback): Remove Subscription Options plugin fro...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/58262016-07-22T22:51:24ZSarah Morgano
<p>Since the Subscriptions Options plugin hasn't been updated in over 2 years I wanted to propose that we remove it from the directory and email blog owner using the plugin about replacing it with the Social Sticker plugin. We have a page in the Codex about the Subscription Options plugin, but nothing about Social Sticker. I'd be happy to create a new Codex page for it.</p>

<p>Per ticket 3660, we will have to use the Zendesk web widget starting Nov 2016. Ray told me that the team did not like that widget due to its lack of customization. Can we use this ticket to prepare a complaint/feature request that I can pass on to Zendesk? Thank you.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #3939 (Hold): Activity stream support for Co-Authors Plus pluginhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/39392015-03-21T17:12:13ZRaymond Hoh
<p>Stemming from <a class="issue tracker-1 status-5 priority-5 priority-high4 closed" title="Bug: Post erroneously ascribed to wrong author in activity feed (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/3853#note-6">#3853-6</a>, perhaps we should add activity stream support when the Co-Authors Plus plugin is used.</p>
<p>Here are some quotes from <a class="issue tracker-1 status-5 priority-5 priority-high4 closed" title="Bug: Post erroneously ascribed to wrong author in activity feed (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/3853#note-6">#3853-6</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>About Co-Authors Plus, do we want to do something to support multiple authors? Create a new activity stream item for each author?</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>I'd say this is not worth the effort for our purposes. Though this suggestion, and others on this tracker and elsewhere (<a class="issue tracker-15 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Design/UX: Create ability to repost forums posts to other forums (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/3178">#3178</a>), make me wonder whether BP's activity table should have an 'alias_of' column or something like that, which we could use instead of 'hide_sitewide' for hiding near-dupes. Hmmmmm....</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Currently, it's only being used on three sites so it's not widely used across the Commons. I've marked the status of this ticket to "Hold", but feel free to close.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #3691 (New): WPMU Domain Mapping Debugging on cdevhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/36912014-12-02T17:23:21ZRaymond Hoh
<p>As per the 1.7.5 release, there was a redirect issue with the WPMU Domain Mapping plugin during upgrade to v0.5.5 that forced us to rollback to the previous version (v0.5.4.3).</p>
<p>Boone has suggested that we help debug the latest release on cdev so we can send a patch back to the authors.</p>
<p>Can you let us know when you've set up a domain for mapping on cdev and whether you require any help in debugging?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #3492 (Assigned): Add CBOX theme to the Commonshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/34922014-09-24T23:47:25Zscott vothscott.voth@verizon.net
<p>I was wondering if we want to have the CBOX theme as a choice for members on the Commons. Not sure if this would cause any difficulties, since it is a BP theme... Maybe with the sitewide wiki and its widgets (which we could also as a plugin option)?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #658 (Assigned): Rebulid Sitewide Tag Suggestionhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/6582011-03-30T04:00:16ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>Boone, didn't you create a plugin that allowed people writing new posts to select tags that were already popular on the Commons? I received a report from a member looking for it who couldn't find it, and I can't, either. Am I remembering something that didn't happen or is was the plugin disabled for some reason?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #497 (Assigned): Drag and Drop Ordering on Gallery Post Pluginhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/4972010-12-19T01:13:44ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com

<p>I'd like to make the process of choosing themes easier for our bloggers. Is there a way that we could mark/tag some themes as "featured" and then offer bloggers the chance to choose from them instead of having to slog through the entire repository?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #364 (New): Bulletin Boardhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/3642010-10-06T03:58:00ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I've had a few people contact me to ask about where they might post announcements. I know we've talked about something like this in the past, but here are a few ideas:</p>
<p>1. A general area where people could post announcements. We could have a checkbox on sign up that asks people whether they want to subscribe by email<br />2. A craigslist type bulletin board -- perhaps done through a group, but is access more through the forum interface than through a group interface<br />3. A general group for announcements.</p>
<p>What do you all think? I think that, generally, it should be an easy to use space that allows opt-in subscriptions.</p>
