<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 - Bug #18362 (Reporter Feedback): After entering OTP, I am redirected to a ...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/183622023-06-14T13:53:45ZRaffi Khatchadourianraffi.khatchadourian@hunter.cuny.edu

<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.

<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 - Support #17257 (Reporter Feedback): Avenir Fonthttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/172572022-11-17T16:15:28ZSyelle Graves
<p>Hi Commons Team,</p>
<p>(Marilyn says "Please open up a ticket in Redmine about this.")</p>
<p>We have an important need for a website to be displayed in Avenir font, due to branding reasons for a DOE-funded center. The site was moved over from Wix, where Avenir was a built-in option.</p>
<p>We’re creating the Commons site in Canvas, which has no option for Avenir that we can see.</p>
<p>Is it possible that there is an option to add code to change the site’s font to Avenir? Or, are there any themes on the Commons that have Avenir font built in or allow code to allow it? Montserrat, the recommended alternative via Google fonts, looks noticeably different from our years of existing/already-distributed materials, which we don't have a way to go back in time and change. This includes our banner and logo, which we will have to change to match our (already-designed) site.</p>
<p>Is there anything we can do? <br />Many thanks!</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Support #16545 (Reporter Feedback): "Bug in customizr? Gravity form submi...https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/165452022-07-29T15:46:59ZMarilyn WeberMweber@gc.cuny.edu
<p>Syelle Graves reports:</p>
<p>We have a hopefully-simple question about a Gravity form that uses the post creation option on this site <a class="external" href="https://weauthors.commons.gc.cuny.edu/category/spanish/">https://weauthors.commons.gc.cuny.edu/category/spanish/</a></p>
<p>The problem is that even though we have the submitted image set to be the featured image of the post draft, the image never appears in the post itself: <a class="external" href="https://weauthors.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/admin.php?page=gf_edit_forms&id=1">https://weauthors.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/admin.php?page=gf_edit_forms&id=1</a> (<a class="external" href="https://weauthors.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/admin.php?page=gf_edit_forms&id=1">https://weauthors.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/admin.php?page=gf_edit_forms&id=1</a>)</p>
<p>I have ignored this for some time, because on the BMCC OL, where I also work, we have observed this to be a bug in this same theme that we are using here on the Commons site (Customizr).</p>
<p>However, perhaps your team has a solve? Is there any way to get the image to show in the post tile without us adding it manually? We are doing a large-scale project of CUNY student writing, and it would be a huge benefit to our instructors who have to publish hundreds of student submissions by hand as they come in.</p>
<p>Many thanks!</p>

<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>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). How can I remove the CC license information from the pages and posts?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #11131 (Reporter Feedback): Image Annotation Pluginshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/111312019-02-20T17:23:54ZLaurie Hurson
<p>Recently, a faculty member asked about installing the PRO version the plugin 'Draw Attention' (<a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/draw-attention/">https://wordpress.org/plugins/draw-attention/</a>) for image annotation for her art history class. The free version currently on the Commons only allows annotation on one image per site and she was hoping to use it for student assignments (30-60 images per site). The plugin does not have front-end annotation but rather requires the user to create the annotations through the dashboard area of the plugin. In the dashboard, users select the clickable areas for front-end users to explore. From what I can tell in the free version, like a post, a user chooses an image, adds content (annotations) and posts the image. Tested here: <a class="external" href="https://coursetest.commons.gc.cuny.edu/?da_image=123">https://coursetest.commons.gc.cuny.edu/?da_image=123</a></p>
<p>The plugin is fairly easy to use through the dashboard interface but its unclear whether users can annotate images posted by others (but probably not, like posts)so its possible that this plugin does not allow for shared/collaborative annotation on a image.</p>
<p>Just FYI, the PRO version costs $74/year for one site and $124/year for unlimited sites, but I know the Commons tends to steer away from paid plugins. Moreover, dashboard editing and non-collaborative annotation may not be not ideal for a class setup. I think front-end annotation might work better since having users access the image through the back-end and set up annotations might be confusing for students and require admin user status as opposed to author status.</p>
<p>I'm not sure of other tools that do collaborative image annotation (other than VOCAT). One possibility is Demon Image Annotation but this plugin might work the same way as Draw Attention</p>

<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>
