<p>When I use the Quick Edit option to make changes to an existing post, the author of the post automatically resets to the first individual listed in the site's user list, regardless of who the original author was.</p>
<p>I replicated the issue in Firefox and Safari as well as across multiple themes. I also spoke with another instructor and confirmed that the Quick Edit option resets post authorship for them, too.</p>
<p>It's a nasty little bug if only because determining the original author of certain posts can be tricky and time-consuming when there isn't an available edit history for the post.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #18982 (Reporter Feedback): Sites missing pages, menus, icons, ba...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/189822023-10-05T23:52:11ZMarilyn WeberMweber@gc.cuny.edu
<p>Syelle Graves reports:</p>
<p>"Our websites are acting very strange across three browsers.<br />Our main site menu is sprawled out instead of dropping down, and the site homepage icon/banner is gone: <br /><a class="external" href="https://iletc.commons.gc.cuny.edu/we-authors/">https://iletc.commons.gc.cuny.edu/we-authors/</a> <br />These sites are missing most of the pages that we had in the menu, and the missing pages are gone from dashboard, as well, not even in a trash folder:<br /><a class="external" href="https://weauthors.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://weauthors.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a><br /><a class="external" href="https://8nsshl2021.commons.gc.cuny.edu/">https://8nsshl2021.commons.gc.cuny.edu/</a> (this site also has no more image at the top of the site).<br />Is there some kind of bug going on at the Commons? I just noticed all of these issues today. I don't see anything new on redmine so I can't imagine what's going on. <br />Thanks for your help!"</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #17739 (Testing Required): Embedding docs from Word in Microsoft ...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/177392023-02-28T17:06:40ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>As you may or may not know, CUNY has been transitioning all faculty, staff, and students to Microsoft Office 365 cloud. So instead of having Microsoft Office software, everyone now gets these tools and saves docs etc in the 365 cloud.</p>
<p>Someone in a training asked about embedding the Live cloud-hosted word docs into a commons site, similar to how Google docs works, so that when they update their Word doc the commons embed is also updated. This is different from how Word and the Commons works now, where faculty have to upload the static document.</p>
<p>Some examples of sharing links from a test cloud-hosted word doc:</p>

<p>From Seonae Byeon:</p>
<p>As mentioned in the past emails, I am a collaborator for the land use oral history project. I am building a website to archive many audios and transcripts. I am unable to upload any audio files. Because the maximum upload file size is set to 128 MB. Could you please increase this to 1500 MB?</p> CUNY 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 - Feature #15923 (Reporter Feedback): Bellows Plugin Adjustmentshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/159232022-04-18T16:41:35ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>The folks at the GC Writing Center are working on building out a series of writing/revision resources on their website here:</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://gcwritingcenter.commons.gc.cuny.edu/revision-strategies/">https://gcwritingcenter.commons.gc.cuny.edu/revision-strategies/</a></p>
<p>They are using the Bellows plugin to create the sidebar menu you see on the left of that page and other pages clicked on through the menu.</p>
<p>They were wondering if it would be possible to make some adjustments to how the plugin works. It would be ideal if the sidebar menu:</p>
<p>- highlights which page a user is on. <br /> Meaning if you are on RS argument, the background color of the sidebar menu highlights this page.</p>
<p>- show the the path the user took to arrive at each page. <br /> Meaning, at the top each page the breadcrumbs info shows the top level and lower level menu items that lead to that page. For example if I was on this page <a class="external" href="https://gcwritingcenter.commons.gc.cuny.edu/rs_ventilation/">https://gcwritingcenter.commons.gc.cuny.edu/rs_ventilation/</a> the breadcrumbs at the top would be "Home > RS Style > rs_ventilation"</p>
<p>I am not sure what our policy is on editing plugins for single use cases but these changes to Bellows seemed simple enough and potentially useful for other users.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #15176 (Reporter Feedback): Archiving Q Writing & Old Wordpress S...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/151762022-01-11T15:39:32ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi Boone, Ray, All,</p>
<p>I am meeting with librarians and staff from Queens College later this week to talk about the use of Q-Writing and the Commons on their campus. I spoke with them last semester and they had asked about some form of migration or archiving of Q writing on the Commons.</p>
<p>Some background: Q Writing is a Wordpress multi-site platform that the Queens College Center for Teaching and Learning set up years ago. As far as I can tell, it is not as consistently used or maintained as the Commons or other campus-specific Wordpress platforms throughout CUNY. The Queens college folks have asked about the "possibility of incorporating QC’s current WordPress MU site into the Commons." Qwriting currently has 8,195 sites and 22,538 users.</p>
<p>I told them migrating or archiving Q writing in the Commons was probably not possible but when I spoke to Matt briefly about it, he mentioned I should ask about HTML flattening or other possibilities. The Queens college folks had thought about setting up a CBOX to replace Q writing but I told them, and they likely already knew, that setting CBOX presented that same maintenance and sustainability issues they were already experiencing.</p>
<p>Any insight about possibilities for archiving, flattening, etc would be appreciated. Even if we can only do some of the sites (or none), that would be helpful for me to know and share with them when we meet on Thursday.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #14994 (In Progress): Clear Cache on CDEVhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/149942021-11-28T21:40:40Zscott vothscott.voth@verizon.net

<p>I make extensive use of the Widget Context plugin to control which widgets appear in different areas of my websites. As I understand it, this plugin does not work with the new widget block editor.

<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 - Support #14538 (Reporter Feedback): Weebly To Commonshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/145382021-06-08T16:25:06ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I met with a faculty member who runs the Lehman Lab for Social Analysis: <a class="external" href="https://www.lehmanlab.org/">https://www.lehmanlab.org/</a></p>
<p>She would like to move the Lehman Lab site onto Commons along with several of the websites for the courses the lab offers, linked below</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://www.lehman-guns-research.org/">https://www.lehman-guns-research.org/</a></p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://nycethnography.weebly.com/">https://nycethnography.weebly.com/</a></p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://foodhealthmigrationlehman.weebly.com/">https://foodhealthmigrationlehman.weebly.com/</a></p>
<p>These 4 sites are on Weebly currently but she would like to move them over to the Commons so they can be further built out and used each semester, in tandem with the courses that will now also run on the Commons.</p>
<p>I have looked online for various methods of exporting Weebly to Wordpress but the exporter that is out there (<a class="external" href="https://weeblytowp.com/">https://weeblytowp.com/</a>) does work in this case because the site are all pages, not blogs.</p>
<p>There seems to be another method for moving to WordPress that involves exporting an HTML archive of the site and then uploading HTML archive to Wordpress. However, I do not believe we have a way to upload HTML archives to the Commons (I think this is a security issue).</p>
<p>Moving these sites to the Commons will be a one time thing since, once they are on the Commons she will continue building out the sites in the CAC space.</p>
<p>Any suggestions for how we might export/import these Weebly sites onto Commmons (preferably avoiding a manual copy/paste method, if possible)?</p> AD/O365 Transition from NonMatric to Matriculated Students - Feature #12062 (In Progress): creat...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/120622019-11-12T20:50:21ZEmilio RodriguezCUNY Academic Commons - Bug #11649 (In Progress): CC license displayed on every pagehttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/116492019-07-18T16:03:33ZGina Cherry
<p>The CC license is unintentionally displayed at the bottom of every page and post on the CETLS web site (in addition to being intentionally displayed in a widget in the footer): <a class="external" href="https://cetls.bmcc.cuny.edu/">https://cetls.bmcc.cuny.edu/</a>. I recently realized that this behavior may be specific to the theme I am using for the site (Canvas).

<p>I'd like to do a review over the next few releases of blacklisted plugins. These are plugins that are unavailable on Dashboard > Plugins, but may still be running on existing sites. For those that are running only on a small handful of sites, it may be worth removing the plugin from the codebase altogether. This data will take some time to collect.</p>

<p>Received a bunch of requests to join a private group today, and some users included notes. When I went to the approval screen (Group Home page > Admin > Requests) the "Accept" button and the text of the message were overlaid on top of one another. We should clean up the display here so that the text can be read.</p>
