<p>An editor on the TLC site just posted this post -- <a class="external" href="https://tlc.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2016/03/10/working-with-ellesl-students-march-16th-1-3pm/">https://tlc.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2016/03/10/working-with-ellesl-students-march-16th-1-3pm/</a> -- and no email notification came through the affiliated BP Group (she is also a member of the group), and no activity item appeared. When I (as admin) unpublished and then republished her post, the notification came and the activity was logged.</p>
<p>Doesn't seem like this is expected behavior, unless I'm missing something, so wanted to report.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Publicity #5298 (New): Survey Pop-Up Texthttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/52982016-03-08T17:05:23ZSamantha Raddatz

<p>Samantha, I'd like to ask you to review the CBOX update/upgrade process. I just upgraded a few installations, and I found that the process could be improved. Here are my concerns:</p>
<p>-- Are all the steps one must take to update CBOX clear to users?<br />-- After one updates the main plugin, are there other upgrade steps needed for CBOX plugins? If so, is that process clear?<br />-- Is it clear that one needs to upgrade the optional CBOX theme after upgrading the plugin manager?<br />-- how might the upgrade process be improved with better visual cues and step-by-step guidelines?</p>

<p>Hi Scott,</p>
<p>Can you do a news blog or codex blog or other post that draws together some of our hero slides and documentation and puts them together into a list of things one can do when building a new community / blog / group resource on the Commons? Here is a starting point:</p>
<p><strong>1. Google Analytics</strong><br />Get GA reports for your Commons blog mailed to you on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis (note: may not work with domain-mapped blogs)<br /><a class="external" href="http://news.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2012/06/23/introducing-google-analytics-for-your-blog/">http://news.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2012/06/23/introducing-google-analytics-for-your-blog/</a></p>
<p><strong>2. Custom cuny.is shortlinks</strong><br />Create a custom cuny.is shortlink for your blog or group<br /><a class="external" href="http://codex.commons.gc.cuny.edu/cuny-url-shortener/">http://codex.commons.gc.cuny.edu/cuny-url-shortener/</a></p>
<p><strong>3. Site Newsletters</strong><br />Use Mailpoet to create attractive newsletters derived from your blog content<br /><a class="external" href="http://codex.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2013/12/08/create-newsletters-wp-site-mailpoet/">http://codex.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2013/12/08/create-newsletters-wp-site-mailpoet/</a></p>
<p><strong>4. Domain Mapping on the Commons</strong><br />Map a custom domain to your Commons blog<br /><a class="external" href="http://codex.commons.gc.cuny.edu/domain-mapping-commons/">http://codex.commons.gc.cuny.edu/domain-mapping-commons/</a></p>
<p><strong>5. Use the Commons as a Conference Hub</strong><br />With free websites, domain mapping, and tools to facilitate publicity, planning and registration, you can create a hub to post agendas, discuss issues, aggregate tweets, live-stream presentations, share archives, and keep the conversation going. <br /><a class="external" href="http://codex.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2014/03/06/got-conference-coming-host-commons/">http://codex.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2014/03/06/got-conference-coming-host-commons/</a></p>
<p><strong>6. Invite People to your group</strong><br /><a class="external" href="http://codex.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2014/02/02/invitations-commons-groups-group-blogs/">http://codex.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2014/02/02/invitations-commons-groups-group-blogs/</a></p>
<p><strong>7. Twitter Page</strong><br />Discover CUNY-related tweets and twitter-users <br /><a class="external" href="http://commons.gc.cuny.edu/twitter/">http://commons.gc.cuny.edu/twitter/</a></p> CUNY Academic Commons - Outreach #3369 (Hold): Release reply by email to WP plugin directoryhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/33692014-08-13T14:28:57ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>Hi Ray,</p>
<p>I was just taking a look at the CAC profile on wp.org and it looks to me like we haven't packaged BP RBE for release as a plugin. Is that the case? If so, would you be willing to devote some time to that this fall, perhaps after we move past Gen Chem and 1.7?</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> CUNY Academic Commons - Documentation #2666 (Assigned): Update About Texthttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/26662013-07-10T18:28:39ZChris Steincstein@bmcc.cuny.edu
<p>Following the conclusion of this ticket <a class="issue tracker-2 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Feature: Add social media icons to About page (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/2663">#2663</a> we should consider revising the text on the About page. Right now it just has the mission statement and a link to our Wikipedia entry. Neither of them is a direct way of answering on the page the question "what is the commons?"</p>
<p>The assumption is that the "what is" question is the one most people have in mind followed by questions like, "why was it made," "who makes it," "who pays for it,"how long has it been around," some of which are answered and some not.</p>
<p>If we do decide to rewrite it, there is the question of the tone of voice. Right now it is very formal with just the mission statement. Do we want to keep it formal or go for something more informal?</p>
<p>If others agree we should get into this I can take a stab at it (other volunteers welcome too).</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #636 (Assigned): Create Lynda.com-like Table of Contents for Pros...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/6362011-03-11T01:53:31ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
