<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>Hi Boone,</p>
<p>I'm trying to produce a grant report and get a sense of some CAC numbers. When I click on "Sites" in the nav bar, I see two different numbers 1575 in the "All Sites" tab and 2263 in the Viewing x of x info line.</p>
<p>Which is correct, and is this evidence of a bug of some kind? Or does it just reflect something like private/hidden sites that I can see as a super-admin?</p>
<p>Marking this as high priority only because I'm trying to get the report in and would appreciate a quick answer if at all possible.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #3230 (Assigned): Scripts for quicker provisioning/updating of de...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/32302014-05-28T13:42:42ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es
<p>As the Commons team grows, more people are faced with the task of creating a local enviroment that mirrors the Commons for their development work. This is currently not an easy task. At a high level, you have to:</p>
<p>- make sure that a *AMP environment is running on your computer, and is roughly compatible with the server software running on the Commons production server<br />- clone the Commons repo<br />- download and import some version of the Commons database into your own local database<br />- do a bunch of wizardry to ensure that either you can switch your local environment to self-identify as 'commons.gc.cuny.edu', or to swap out with a local dev URL like 'commons.local.dev' or 'local.cicdev.com'<br />- maybe get some representative piece of the data at wp-content/blogs.dir/</p>
<p>Each of these steps is fraught with issues about data integrity, implementation details, and various, unpleasant gotchas.</p>
<p>Let's start to work toward something a bit more organized. I'm going to suggest the following as a starting point:</p>
<p>- Let's use Vagrant for VM management, since it's pretty widely used in the WP community<br />- Pick a provisioning tool - bash, Puppet, Salt, Chef, etc - for doing environment provisioning. I don't have a ton of experience here, so if anyone has thoughts, please jump in<br />- Write the necessary provisioning scripts to mirror the Commons fairly well (keeping in mind that we don't control the Commons environment directly, and that the Commons runs RHEL, which means we'll need to use a pretty-close free alternative OS)<br />- Write some scripts to handle fetching recent versions of Commons data, including a "cleaned-up" version of production data (I'll open a separate ticket for this)</p>
<p>I think this would be a cool summer project. Dom, I'm going to assign to you for the moment, as it seems up your alley, and ask you to give your initial thoughts.</p> NYCDH Community Site - Feature #2573 (Reporter Feedback): Add dh_nyc twitter list feed to sitehttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/25732013-05-16T21:11:46ZMark Newtonmnewton@columbia.eduCUNY Academic Commons - Feature #1508 (Assigned): Share login cookies across mapped domainshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/15082012-01-05T17:48:19ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es

Because browsers authenticate cookies on a domain-by-domain basis, this means that your Commons login session does not persist when visiting the mapped domains. It'd be very nice if this didn't happen. Since we're operating from a whitelist of mapped domains, it shouldn't be too hard to share these cookies.

<p>I'm meeting with Chris and Michael, and they suggested we look into <a href="http://www.bigbluebutton.org/" class="external">Big Blue Button</a> which is an open-source videoconferencing tool. We started to wonder whether it might be integrated into BuddyPress groups so that groups could easily create video conferences among group members.</p>
<p>It looks like there is already a <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bigbluebutton/" class="external">WordPress plugin</a> to provide integration, but I don't think that one has been created for BuddyPress. What do you think about looking into writing that plugin? Might be very cool!</p>
<p>Michael and Chris, by the way, say that Joe Ugoretz uses this and can comment upon it.</p>

<p>This <a href="http://chronicle.com/blogs/profhacker/how-to-gamify-your-class-website/31332" class="external">ProfHacker post</a> mentions a number of BuddyPress plugins that we should consider for the Commons (text below from the article):</p>
<blockquote>
<p><a href="http://cubepoints.com/" class="external">CubePoints</a> with <a href="http://buddypress.org/community/groups/cubepoints-buddypress-integration/" class="external">CubePoints BuddyPress Integration</a> — In many ways, CubePoints makes use of information that’s already available in the system: who is checking the site regularly? Replying to questions on the forum? Adding links to interesting new content? CubePoints rewards users with points for all these actions and can keep a leader board with ranks unlocked. It’s all highly customizable: you can set the number of points for each action and add names and images to ranks.</p>
<p><a href="http://achievementsapp.com/" class="external">Achievements</a> — The Achievements plug-in lets you set rewards for particular actions. These can be automated, like a reward for posting a certain number of times to a class forum, or triggered by you. Achievements that require you to moderate their success can be more difficult to manage, but they give you a chance to reward behaviors that go above and beyond class requirements. (This can also work as a points system, though it does not yet integrate with CubePoints—the next version of both might fix that.)</p>
<p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-rate-forum-posts/" class="external">BuddyPress Rate Forum Posts</a> — The ability to rate posts acts as an extension of peer review and a check on excessive but meaningless contribution. If you’re rewarding high “scorers” in the class game in structural ways, such as with first choice of presentation dates or the ability to propose extra credit “missions” (two rewards I’m trying this semester), the voting system also asks as a way to encourage students to be their own community moderators.</p>
<p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-links/" class="external">BuddyPress Links</a> — A plug-in for sharing links that is already integrated with CubePoints. If you have a class that involves a lot of current content, this is one way to build a space for the sharing of links to relevant material. There’s also a voting system on links that will help in tracking down dead or useless links.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I would like to bring these plugins up for discussion at the 2/25/11 SubCat meeting. Boone, if you have thoughts about these plugins and their possible integration into our system, please let me know.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #585 (Assigned): Merge Forum Topicshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/5852011-02-16T01:55:38ZSarah Morgano
<p>A member from the Commons suggested merging forum topics in an effort to reduce duplicate posts. He also suggested a “quote” function or some other method of only responding to a particular member’s post (which becomes important in longer threads.)</p>

<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>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 #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>
