Redmine CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #519 (Assigned): TOC for individual docs - for new BP "wiki-like"...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/5192010-12-29T00:29:30Zscott vothscott.voth@verizon.net
<p>This might just be on a "wish list" - but is it possible to simulate MW's Table of Contents functionality for individual pages? Automatic generation of a header item for each document "section" entered...</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #500 (Assigned): Export Group Datahttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/5002010-12-19T16:38:24ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>I was in the process of explaining some of the benefits of using WP to someone, and I wanted to talk about data portability. And then I realized that, as BuddyPress currently, stands, it's not possible to export group data.</p>
<p>I see that this is a potential feature for BP 1.4+ on the Roadmap (<a class="external" href="http://buddypress.org/about/roadmap/">http://buddypress.org/about/roadmap/</a>), but we might think about developing a tool for this, because it seems like a pretty critical feature.</p>
<p>What do you think?</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>Create an ajaxified interface for the Gallery Post plugin that would allow users to drag and drop posts into a specified order.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #481 (Assigned): ability to archive inactive groups and blogshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/4812010-12-14T16:06:34ZMichael Mandibergmichael.mandiberg@csi.cuny.edu
<p>After using the Commons for a year or so, about half of the groups and blogs I am in are now dormant. They were created for working groups, or classes, or other fixed-period endeavors. The result is that my dropdown menu is pretty cluttered. A number of times I have clicked into the wrong long-dormant blog, and posted there (awk). I don't want to un-join the groups/blogs b/c I will loose access to the info in there, but I would like to be able to archive them so they don't show up in the drop down menu. Or there could be a menu item at the bottom that said "archived groups." Just a thought about interface.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #435 (Assigned): Include Avatar Images in Forum Post Notification...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/4352010-12-06T23:40:52ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>I've noticed that Basecamp includes the avatar image of message posters, and I think that might be a nice feature for our own notification system. What do you think, and how hard would it be to set this up?</p>
<p>I guess this also raises some questions around the styling and format of notification messages -- do we use HTML or only plain-text images?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #412 (Assigned): Featured Themeshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/4122010-11-23T19:13:51ZMatt 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 #377 (Assigned): Like buttonshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/3772010-10-26T14:16:13ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>Should we consider adding "like" functionality to the site that will allow members to "like" posts? Looks like this BP plugin provides that functionality - <a class="external" href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-like/">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-like/</a></p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #370 (Assigned): Guest Accountshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/3702010-10-08T15:15:19ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>We have just had an inquiry about bringing 15-20 non CUNY people on to the site for a conference. These kinds of decisions would be much easier to make if we had some sort of guest accounts, perhaps with limited permissions (the ability to participate in a specific blog, for instance, but not to create a new one or to edit wiki pages.)</p>
<p>What do you think? Helpful? Unnecessary? Let me know</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #365 (Assigned): Create Mouseover Tooltips throughout Sitehttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/3652010-10-06T04:35:55ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>This is a big project, but it's an important one: create a series of tooltips that will help users figure out how to use the site through contextual help items.</p>
<p>I figure that we can use this ticket to discuss what these might look like and to compile a list of needed tooltips. If needed, we can use use Basecamp for this.</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> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #333 (Assigned): Delay Forum Notification Email Delivery Until Af...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/3332010-09-13T18:10:58ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>If we are giving members 15 minutes or so to edit forum posts, perhaps we should delay sending the email notifications until that period expires. That's how the old Moodle system works, and I think it's a good system. One cause of the errors in <a class="issue tracker-2 status-5 priority-3 priority-lowest closed" title="Feature: Embed Links in Forum Notification Posts (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/332">#332</a>, for instance, might have been curved quotation marks pasted from MS Word that were corrected during the editing period.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #310 (Assigned): Friend Request Emailhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/3102010-08-28T09:00:31ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>Just thinking through issue 308, we should consider updating the email members receive when they get a friend request.</p>
<p>Attached, find a screenshot of what twitter sends out when someone starts following an account; might be neat to do the same thing for friends on the Commons.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #308 (New): Group recommendations for signup processhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/3082010-08-27T18:27:36ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es
<p>Phil Pecorino suggested during subcommittee meeting: What if there were suggestions for what a user might be interested in (groups, blogs, etc) during the signup process? Maybe on the activation page?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #287 (Assigned): Create troubleshooting tool for account sign-uphttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/2872010-07-27T13:35:26ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>Per ticket 280 - <a class="external" href="http://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/show/280">http://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/show/280</a></p>
<p>To help troubleshoot problems with member sign-ups: from Boone: "Putting some development effort toward building a tool for triaging this sort of situation. As I said, the WP backend has no interface for seeing failed signups. It wouldn't be too hard to build one, though, so that admins could see at a glance whether a user's registration has gone through, to resend activation emails, and to manually activate accounts if necessary."</p>
<p>One additional suggestion: what if there was a front-end troubleshooting tool for users that would lead them through a series of questions and could check the database to see whether the user's registration has gone through? This would automate the process. So, for example, let's say a user has a problem signing up -- she doesn't receive the notification email. She visits the troubleshooting tool. It asks her questions like "when did you sign up"? "What email did you use?" etc. And then, maybe using that decision tree that Sarah created a while ago, it suggests a course of action, telling the user whether to check her spam filter, sign up again because there is no record of registration, or to contact an admin.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #58 (Assigned): Make member search sortable by last namehttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/582009-10-28T19:31:58ZRoberta BrodyRoberta.Brody@QC.cuny.edu
<p>The automatic indexing of groups and names uses the first word entered. This means that people are indexed by first name and groups by first word. The search box takes care of finding particular words so no urgency here. BUT: 1. It's not wonderful to have stuff indexed under "The" or "A", etc. -- this is a common text issue and I'm sure that there is an already existant solution to this that can be applied. 2. Right now, it's kinda' friendly to be indexed by first name but when the AC gets bigger, it may get more difficult to find folks with unusual spellings of last names. Fuzzy search can address this BUT a browseable index by last name would be nice ... (Yes, I realize that some people only list a user name or first name only -- but thought we might consider this)</p>
