Redmine CUNY Academic Commons - Design/UX #19733 (New): Invite Modalhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/197332024-02-09T19:38:14ZSara Cannon
<p>Here are the initial comps for the invite modal</p>
<p>I'm attaching the new comps but if you want to view them alongside the current modal screens, you can view them in presentation format here:<br /><a class="external" href="https://www.figma.com/proto/XtBvj6Z9N5sLn9eHco4ArO/CUNY-Design---Spring-2024?page-id=4328%3A43252&type=design&node-id=4328-44687&viewport=1333%2C-760%2C0.13&t=doNbpw4uC2iSmkMt-1&scaling=min-zoom&mode=design">https://www.figma.com/proto/XtBvj6Z9N5sLn9eHco4ArO/CUNY-Design---Spring-2024?page-id=4328%3A43252&type=design&node-id=4328-44687&viewport=1333%2C-760%2C0.13&t=doNbpw4uC2iSmkMt-1&scaling=min-zoom&mode=design</a></p>
<p><strong>Notes:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>There is a bit of confusion as to who is allowed to be invited here and how that fits into the registration process</li>
<li>We discussed changing the wording of "memberships" to something else - possibly "Invitations" </li>
<li>The confirmation party emoji is a placeholder instead of a massive check box. I would like to think through that screen more</li>
<li>There was discussion around what emails are sent out, what those look like, and if the sender could get an email confirmation.</li>
</ul>

<p>Continuing a discussion that began in ticket <a class="issue tracker-2 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Feature: CC Image Plugin (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/11833">#11833</a>: CC Image Plugin: <a class="external" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/11833">https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/11833</a></p>
<p>When a user is editing in the Gutenberg block editor view, the "Simple CSS" field is open/visible by default. This has confused multiple people who have entered post content in this field instead of into the content field. We may want to consider making the default setting for the "Simple CSS" area to closed/minimized.</p>
<p>Additionally, the content area where users enter the body of their post or page is poorly defined as the main place to enter info. The directional text in the content area is very small and the color contrast likely does not meet accessibility standards. We may want to consider reformatting this text in the block editor to make it more accessible and user friendly.</p>
<p>I think this also raises larger issues of accessibility of the block editor in general. Accessibility issues associated with the block editor were raised when Gutenberg was released but I am not sure how many of these issues have actually been addressed and fixed. I think Boone may know more about this?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Design/UX #10580 (New): Primary nav item reviewhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/105802018-10-24T16:29:02ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es
<p>This is primarily about the main nav under the Commons logo throughout the main site, but probably also affects the "CUNY Academic Commons" dropdown at the upper-left of the toolbar.</p>
<p>Let's gather some analytic data about the use of these nav items, and think about how and whether to restructure the IA, or represent them differently (especially on mobile?).</p>
<p>Previously: <a class="issue tracker-2 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Feature: Remove 1 item from main nav bar when we add courses (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/10229">#10229</a>.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - System Upgrade #8078 (Assigned): CommentPress Updateshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/80782017-05-02T16:59:09ZMargaret Galvan
<p>It looks like we need to do some housekeeping regarding CommentPress as we have, in effect, multiple versions activated because of how the theme/plugin has grown and changed its name along with updates.</p>
<p>In the past, you would activate the CommentPress theme and then also activate certain CommentPress plugins to make CommentPress work. Now, you simply activate the CommentPress Core plugin (<a class="external" href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/commentpress-core/">https://wordpress.org/plugins/commentpress-core/</a>), which has a theme embedded. That means that we need to remove the out-of-date CommentPress theme, as well as these two CommentPress plugins: Commentpress Ajaxified, CommentPress</p>
<p>I have looked into these two CommentPress plugins on our GitHub install and verified that both were updated 6 years ago (cp-ajax-comments, commentpress), which verifies that they are just as outdated as the CommentPress theme (also updated 6 years ago). <a class="external" href="https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/tree/1.10.x/wp-content/plugins">https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/tree/1.10.x/wp-content/plugins</a></p>
<p>Additionally, we should update the CommentPress Core plugin. We are at version 3.9.3, but the most recent version is 3.4: <a class="external" href="http://futureofthebook.org/commentpress/download/">http://futureofthebook.org/commentpress/download/</a></p> CUNY Academic Commons - Design/UX #6392 (Assigned): Composition/Preview Panes in Forum Postshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/63922016-10-20T18:15:10ZLuke Waltzerlwaltzer@gc.cuny.edu
<p>When I'm writing forum posts, I often get confused between the Create New Topic and the Preview panes... not sure the blue border does a strong enough job of demarcating the preview from the edit window. In a future design process, we might consider more clearly differentiating these spaces.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Design/UX #6298 (Assigned): Examine data from surveyhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/62982016-10-14T16:16:40ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>Hi Maggie,</p>
<p>I'm starting this ticket as a reminder to go through the recent survey and pull out relevant user suggestions</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Design/UX #5183 (New): Creating a new paper when viewing an existing paperhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/51832016-01-29T20:09:25ZRaffi Khatchadourianraffi.khatchadourian@hunter.cuny.edu
<p>It doesn't seem intuitive as to how to create a new paper when I have finished one and am viewing the published version. I had to press the social paper (beta) button in order to do so and then create a new paper.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Design/UX #5182 (New): "Publishing" a private paper on social paper?https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/51822016-01-29T20:06:51ZRaffi Khatchadourianraffi.khatchadourian@hunter.cuny.edu
<p>I have a private paper on social paper. To save it, I have to press "publish." That seems a little counterintuitive. I had to do a double take to make sure that the paper was indeed private.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Design/UX #4903 (Assigned): Improving visual appearance of event calendarshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/49032015-11-14T21:52:27ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<p>Hi Sam,</p>
<p>Are there changes in layout/color/design/alignment/sizing that you can suggest to improve the appearance of events calendars that contain multiple events on a single day? Please see the attached screenshot and this link - <a class="external" href="http://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/gc-events-and-workshops/events/">http://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/gc-events-and-workshops/events/</a> - for an example. It looks pretty crowded to me and also hard to even tell that there are multiple events in a single box. We might look to how GCal handles this for guidance</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Design/UX #4622 (New): Profile Visibility Settingshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/46222015-09-16T13:25:12ZSamantha Raddatz
<p>While taking a look at the profile set up and editing process, I've been trying to de-clutter the page. One way I'd like to do that is by reducing the number of instances of 'This field can be seen by:'. Here are a few possible treatments:</p>
<p>a) One overarching 'This information can be seen by:' setting for the full profile page<br />b) Grouping the fields together into types (about, social media, professional websites, etc.) and including a 'These fields can be seen by:' option for each group.<br />c) Grouping the fields together into types (about, social media, professional websites, etc.) and including a 'This field can be seen by:' option on each field within.</p>
<p>It was discussed on yesterday's dev call and the general feeling was that allowing all or most of the profile to be set to private with just one 'switch' (option a) would be counterproductive to the community aspect of the site. In order to dig into what makes the most sense beyond that, Boone offered to gather some stats on how often people are using the 'This field can be seen by:' options and which fields they tend to utilize it for. This ticket serves as a reminder for that and a conversation area to decide which way to go.</p>
<p>Once we suss this out, I'll include this decision in a set of mock-ups with this and other suggestions for profile process improvements.</p>

<p>Right now, when users go to edit their portfolios, information about who can see that info appears in red (see attached screenshot). Since this info suggests something that the people highlighted CAN see, I think it should be green rather than red. Sam, do you agree?</p>

<p>Many users fail to customize their public portfolio content. It's been determined that adding this to the registration process is both technically complicated and unnecessarily lengthy.<br />We need to come up with a mechanism to encourage users to customize their portfolio. Might be solvable through some kind of pop-up reminder -- could be considered in the sitewide announcements plan (<a class="issue tracker-15 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Design/UX: Change 'Public Profile Details' in Register (Create Account) form to be consistent (Resolved)" href="https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/4230">#4230</a>).</p>

<p>If I click "reply" to an activity item on My Commons related to a forum post, where will my reply be posted -- on the activity stream or on the forum itself (or both)? A bit unclear. Screenshot attached</p>
<p>Boone, can you please answer this and then, if you think it is warranted, assign to Chris/Samantha for discussion?
