CUNY Academic Commons

Thanks for the feedback.

The immediate issue is that there's a bug in the network-activated cets_EmbedRSS plugin that causes its TinyMCE plugin to be requested from a http:// URL rather than https://. This has been fixed in https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/8a213be24e4d5bc7d760ae121c35644240474293 and deployed immediately to the production site, so that you shouldn't see the notice anymore.

There's a broader question of why the cets_EmbedRSS plugin is network activated. I've opened #11504 to track this.

Regarding site layouts, I can see in the database that your newly created site does not, in fact, have any associated layout - the layout tool appears somehow not to have kicked in. Can you please confirm that your exact steps were as follows: 1. Visit https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/create; 2. Select 'Create Group + Site'; 3. Select the Teaching Layout from the Add Site step. I was NOT able to reproduce the issue when taking these steps. If you created your site in a different way (say, creating a standalone group, then adding a site later via the Manage tab of the group), it would help me to narrow down the potential problem.

Thanks. Looking at the last few hundred sites created on the Commons, it looks like there are only two or three that don't have their cac_site_template_id set. So there's likely a bug here, but it's not widespread, and I'm not sure what steps to take to diagnose. I'll likely wait to hear if I get other reports, to see if a pattern emerges.

In the meantime, we've resolved the primary issue in this ticket.
