Redmine CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #19431 (New): cc'd people don't show up on Help tickets! https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/194312023-12-18T17:14:51ZMarilyn WeberMweber@gc.cuny.eduCUNY 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>Thanks!</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 #15242 (Reporter Feedback): Slugist sitehttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/152422022-02-02T14:27:00ZRaffi Khatchadourianraffi.khatchadourian@hunter.cuny.edu

<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 - Bug #14483 (Reporter Feedback): Wordpress PDF Embed Stopped Working after...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/144832021-05-20T15:42:44ZPatrick DeDauw
<p>Hi Boone,</p>
<p>Thanks so much for your help on the JITP library transfer—everything went great with the issue launch, and I really appreciate how quickly you fixed the redirect hiccup.</p>
<p>We have noticed that our pdf embedder on the page below has started turning up "Failed to Fetch" errors when viewed in Chrome, though not in Safari. I tried re-uploading the pdfs and changing the links, in case it was an issue of the Media Library clone, but found it still not working. I've since tried a few variations (adding <a class="external" href="http://www. to">www. to</a> the pdf url, trying <a class="external" href="http://">http://</a>) to no avail.</p>

<p>Hi Boone,</p>
<p>FYI -- there were MySQL restart alerts at 4:11pm today. I wanted to let you know in case you are better able to track info related to such outages following our recent conversations with Lihua</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #12438 (New): Site appearing twicehttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/124382020-02-18T17:31:59ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Instructor's site is appearing twice, see screenshot. Looks like both URLs are the same so I am not sure what is causing the duplication.</p>
<p>Site is: <a class="external" href="https://introsocmonday.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://introsocmonday.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a></p>
<p>When the instructor updates one, both sites update.</p>
<p>On an unrelated note - and apologies for asking here I didn't know if I should make a ticket about seeing another ticket... I am a watcher on ticket 12428 but when i search for it, I cannot find it or see that ticket. How can i get access to private ticket 12428?</p>

<p>I'm opening this ticket to track recent outages on the Commons. A number of us receive automated notices when the database server is forced to reboot. Beginning roughly one month ago, we started getting these notices several times per week. These notifications indicate when the DB server is forced to reboot, so they indicate at best the end of a problematic period. I receive additional notifications when requests begin to take an inordinately long time, which serves as an indicator of when the incidents begin.</p>
<p>I've been keeping track of specifics over the last few weeks, and I've discerned the following patterns:</p>
<p>- The most common downtime is just after 05:00 UTC (midnight EST, UTC-5), with my incident reports rolling in sometimes around 12:03am and sometimes around 12:07am.<br />- Occasionally, the incidents have begun an hour or two earlier, shortly after 03:00 or 04:00 UTC.<br />- Incidents seem always to begin several minutes after the hour<br />- Reboots usually take place between 3 and 6 minutes after the beginning of the incident<br />- On some occasions, the reboots don't seem to fix the underlying issue, and another cycle of slow requests + db reboots immediately follows.<br />- Sometimes this'll happen a few nights in a row, while sometimes the site will go a few days without any notifications.</p>
<p>All of this strongly suggests that the problem is with an automated cron task, specifically one that takes place around midnight. I've begun to do an analysis of the tasks scheduled for around this time, cross-referencing with the logs. Ideally, we'd be able to narrow down the culprit by identifying the last cron task that begins just before the outages. This is not possible, for a couple reasons: First, the performance issues may only kick in a minute or two after the task begins running (as the system's resources are gradually used up). Second, the Cavalcade logs don't natively keep track of when a task begins running, but only when it finishes (see <a class="external" href="https://github.com/humanmade/Cavalcade-Runner/blob/master/inc/class-runner.php#L377">https://github.com/humanmade/Cavalcade-Runner/blob/master/inc/class-runner.php#L377</a>).</p>
<p>So the best we can do is to make some educated guesses. I'll follow up in a comment with initial thoughts.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #11879 (New): Hypothesis comments appearing on multiple, different pd...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/118792019-09-19T16:36:30ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>A professor has reported a very weird hypothesis issue. I am not sure if this is a Commons bug or hypothesis bug.</p>
<p>This professor uploaded a PDF (book chapters 5-7) for a course in 2017 link here: <a class="external" href="https://via.hypothes.is/https://spa114fall171.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-content/blogs.dir/3395/files/2017/09/La-Frontera-5-6-7.pdf">https://via.hypothes.is/https://spa114fall171.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-content/blogs.dir/3395/files/2017/09/La-Frontera-5-6-7.pdf</a></p>
<p>This semester, the professor will be using the same reading (only chapter 5) so she uploaded a shortened version to the media library for her new course: <a class="external" href="https://via.hypothes.is/https://span2204.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-content/blogs.dir/8302/files/2019/09/Chapter-5.pdf">https://via.hypothes.is/https://span2204.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-content/blogs.dir/8302/files/2019/09/Chapter-5.pdf</a></p>
<p>*to view the readings page on the Span2204 site the pw is Fall2019</p>
<p>The problem: the new chapter 5 pdf pulls in the old comments from the original chapters 5-7 pdf. The pdfs are on different commons sites in different media libraries. It appears that both pdfs are stored in WP-content blogs directory but seem to have different file numbers and names.</p>
<p>I dont think this is a plugin issue since she was using the via hypothesis link, not the plugin to add the annotation layer on these pdfs. Moreover, when I installed the plugin on the Span2204 site, the pdfs cannot be read because the via hypothesis link is added to the pdf url twice.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #10794 (New): Memcached connection occasionally breakshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/107942018-12-06T20:30:55ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es
<p>A handful of times over the past month or so, the Memcached connection seems to have failed completely. This manifests first by extreme slowness in Commons load times. With Query Monitor enabled, I can then see that there are hundreds of database hits instead of the normal small handful. Occasionally, `wp cache flush` fixes it. But more often, I have to go in and switch from one to the other item in the $memcached_servers array. When I do this (and, importantly, run `wp cache flush` immediately afterward, to ensure that WP doesn't access stale cache in the other node) things come back to life immediately.</p>
<p>I don't really have the tools at my disposal to debug this fully. If the problem is that the cache is corrupted and thus inaccessible, I guess I would know that by looking at some sort of Memcached log <a class="external" href="https://serverfault.com/questions/422350/memcached-debuging-server-logs-monitor-the-memcached-servers">https://serverfault.com/questions/422350/memcached-debuging-server-logs-monitor-the-memcached-servers</a> and perhaps by examining the contents of the cache directly via Telnet. Or the problem could be a connection issue, though I'm unsure how to test that directly.</p>
<p>I don't know the proper next steps, but I'm starting this ticket so that the issue is on Ray's radar and so that we have a place to collect ideas and incident reports.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #10678 (Reporter Feedback): Newsletter Plugin Not Sending Out Newslet...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/106782018-11-08T02:56:19ZMark Webb
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>The Newletter plugin for the CPCP website (<a class="external" href="https://cpcp.commons.gc.cuny.edu">https://cpcp.commons.gc.cuny.edu</a>) is again having issues. Newsletters are not sending out. You then have to go in and manually run the queue but this takes forever and stops on its own unless you go back and run again. Any idea what is happening? Is it related to the WP Cron? How can we fix it? Thanks,</p>

<p>When Jessica Murray, a CAC user, goes to the dashboard of her website on the Commons, she sees only 20 or so themes, even though we have 50-odd themes available. Luke and I are meeting her and she showed us what she is seeing.</p>
<p>Luke just advised her to do a hard-refresh, and that solved the problems, but it worries me a bit that she would have to do a hard refresh to see the full list of themes available. Boone, do you have a sense of what might be going on?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Bug #9979 (Reporter Feedback): Reports of slow email activation emailshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/99792018-07-03T14:55:32ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>Some members of the team were running a workshop for BMCC faculty members last week (on Thursday 6/28), and some BMCC faculty were registering for the CAC during the workshop. What they experienced is that it could take as long as 15 minutes for the email verification emails to be received, while other notifications, like password resets, came through immediately.</p>
<p>Could this delay be related to recent changes we've made to cron jobs or is it more likely that it was a BMCC email server issue?</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
