Redmine CUNY Academic Commons - Design/UX #19814 (New): BBPress Forum convert to blocks?https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/198142024-02-22T23:58:41ZSara Cannon
<p>I was looking into BBPress installs and the one on WordPress.org support forums uses blocks instead of the classic editor for posting. Would this be possible with our installation or would this be a heavy lift?</p>

<p>The Mobile menu can use a few tweaks. We can use the User Avatar instead of the User Icon and adjust the carats' alignment. (they seem to be at an awkward spot/angle right now)</p>

<p>The Current CV Mobile view can use some design refinement. The current view has some alignment issues where the CV menu creates a scroll-to-the right situation.</p>
<p>I did a mobile comp that cleaned up the layout. Note the CV edit menu turns the "View CV" text into an Icon. This is used in WordPress Core.</p>
<p>The image credit is way too prominent, so I moved it down to the footer.</p>
<p>See the below Screenshot that shows what the mobile view is like currently, and what it could look like with a bit of cleaning up.</p>

<p>The content gutters are 16px - 4 col.

<p>Following up on a recent dev call, here's a list of unique notification types on the Commons:</p>
<pre>
| added_reader |
| bbp_new_reply |
| comment_mention |
| followedpaper_comment |
| followedpaper_edit |
| friendship_accepted |
| friendship_request |
| group_invite |
| membership_request_accepted |
| membership_request_rejected |
| member_promoted_to_admin |
| member_promoted_to_mod |
| mypaper_comment |
| new_at_mention |
| new_membership_request |
| new_message |
| new_wire_post |
| pending_booking |
</pre>
<p>We can eliminate several that are related to Social Paper: <code>added_reader</code>, <code>comment_mention</code>, <code>followedpaper_comment</code>, <code>followedpaper_edit</code>, <code>mypaper_comment</code>. In addition, <code>new_wire_post</code> is linked to a feature that we no longer have on the Commons. This leaves us with:</p>
<p>1. bbp_new_reply - Created by bbPress for user A when user B posts a reply to a forum topic or reply written by A. <br />2. friendship_accepted - Created by BP for user A when user B accepts a friendship request that A sent to B.<br />3. friendship_request - Created by BP for user A when user B sends a friendship request to A.<br />4. group_invite - Created by BP for user A when user B invites A to join a group.<br />5. membership_request_accepted - Created by BP for user A when A requests membership in a group, and the group's admin approves the request<br />6. membership_request_rejected - Created by BP for user A when A requests membership in a group, and the group's admin rejects the request<br />7. member_promoted_to_admin - Created by BP for user A when A is promoted in a group from 'member' to 'admin'<br />8. member_promoted_to_mod - Created by BP for user A when A is promoted in a group from 'member' to 'mod'<br />9. new_at_mention - Created by BP for user A when A is at-mentioned anywhere tracked by BuddyPress. Notably for our purpose, this includes blog posts, blog comments, forum posts.<br />10. new_membership_request - Created by BP for user A when A is the admin of a private group, and user B requests membership in that group<br />11. new_message - Created by BP for user A when A receives a private message<br />12. pending_booking - Created by the events-manager plugin for user A when user A has created an event with booking, and user B books for that event. events-manager is <strong>not</strong> a plugin that we run on the main site, so this must be something that happens on secondary sites</p>
<p>Of these, a number are purely informational. 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12 A right-hand notifications pane could have a message that summarizes the information ("So-and-so replied to your forum post") and then links to that content.</p>
<p>Several of them have obvious follow-up actions. 3, 4, 10, perhaps 11. A right-hand notifications pane could have a link that points you to the page where you'd perform the action, or perhaps it could show you the interface for actually performing the action (ie, accepting the friendship).</p>
<p>I hope this is a helpful start.</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 - Design/UX #10439 (New): Create Style Guide for Commonshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/104392018-10-04T21:39:03ZSonja Leix
<p>Create a style guide for CUNY Academic Commons to compiles all the site's design elements like typography, link, and button styles, color scheme, consistent padding/margin, etc.</p>
<p>This will help us design more consistently in the future, it will also help the developers to have a reference for implementation. It will be a base to achieve more design consistency across the site and aid as a style library for a potential future redesign.</p>
<p>It will be a living guide and after initial design and internal sign off we should consider creating an HTML style guide. It can live on Github and can be updated over time.</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 #7624 (New): BP Notificationshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/76242017-02-04T15:12:48ZLuke Waltzerlwaltzer@gc.cuny.edu
<p>Opening a thread to discuss notifications, which I sometimes find confusing.</p>
<p>Currently, when I'm on a subsite, I have one notification -- bbp_new_reply</p>
<p>When I click bbp_new_reply, I'm taken to my profile page. Then, the notification drop-down shows the detail of the reply -- "You have one new reply to x post by y person." If I click that, then I'm taken to the reply in the forum (and the notification is cleared).</p>
<p>When I click the notification icon itself from the subsite, I'm taken to <a class="external" href="https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/members/lwaltzer/notifications/">https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/members/lwaltzer/notifications/</a>, where my notification is listed. I have to then actively click Read to clear the notification.</p>
<p>Given that we have RBE running, perhaps we should discuss if the notification is redundant or distracting, or if there might be a method to have it cleared if we can be sure the message was read?</p>
<p>Can we adjust the bbp_new_reply notification to show the same content that one sees from within their profile with a link directly to the forum post when users are on subsites?</p>
<p>Are there other notification triggers in the system that also might benefit from some attention?</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 #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>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>When creating a new document, it is not clear how/if it is associated with one of the groups. Unless the user chooses a group before clicking ‘Create New Doc,’ there is no way to associate a document with a group using this form.</p>
<p>Add an option for connecting a group to the ‘Create New Doc’ form (in a similar format to ‘Tags’ and ‘Parent’).</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Design/UX #4225 (New): Add information to DIRT page (in Create a Group)https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/42252015-06-25T15:01:53ZSamantha Raddatz
<p>The eighth step, to enable ‘Digital Research Tools,’ does not have any explanatory information about what this tab offers. Can it be customized or is it a set list of tools chosen by CUNY?</p>
