<ul></ul><p>Putting them in the sitewide footer means putting them on every page on the entire site. I don't love that idea - I'd rather have a single link ("follow us elsewhere") that goes to a page with these links. Or even just put these icons in the News sidebar.</p>
<p>+1 (and, related, Facebook Like) are sort of a separate issue. They are interactive pieces and are designed to be placed on each salient piece of content on the site. Thus, not so much the footer, but instead each blog post (forum post, profile, etc). They are also more evil, as their goal is to track every piece of logged-in user behavior.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #1258: Add links to CAC Social Media Accounts in Footerhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/1258?journal_id=47922011-10-24T03:57:30ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<ul></ul><p>Why don't we start by adding prominent links to the News page and go from there? That seems like the least intrusive way to go about this.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #1258: Add links to CAC Social Media Accounts in Footerhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/1258?journal_id=48302011-10-25T21:29:48ZSarah Morgano
<ul></ul><p>I like the idea of adding the links to the News sidebar and agree that embedding it on the footer may take away from our open-sourceness.</p>
<p>I'd also like to add Google+ to the list of subscription options on the News blog. It looks like the Subscription Options plugin doesn't include G+, but the "add-on pack" does: <a class="external" href="http://digitalcortex.net/plugins/subscription-options/addon-pack/">http://digitalcortex.net/plugins/subscription-options/addon-pack/</a>. I'd also like to create a Flickr account for the Commons and this plug-in provides a link to Flickr as well.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #1258: Add links to CAC Social Media Accounts in Footerhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/1258?journal_id=50472011-11-15T19:52:44ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es
<ul><li><strong>Target version</strong> changed from <i>1.3</i> to <i>Not tracked</i></li></ul><p>Adding to the News page doesn't take any codebase changes, so I just did it on the live site.

<p>If you're happy with this, please mark resolved.

<ul></ul><p>Looks great! Thanks, Boone. Sarah, is that the right G+ link?</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #1258: Add links to CAC Social Media Accounts in Footerhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/1258?journal_id=50522011-11-15T20:08:02ZSarah Morgano
<ul></ul><p>This is awesome! I decided to move G+ to a page, if you could please update the link to: <a class="external" href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/115537930517533216680/#115537930517533216680">https://plus.google.com/u/0/115537930517533216680/#115537930517533216680</a></p>
<p>I will notify g+ users tonight</p>

<p>Marking resolved.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #1258: Add links to CAC Social Media Accounts in Footerhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/1258?journal_id=50682011-11-16T16:24:44ZSarah Morgano
<ul></ul><p>Hi Boone,</p>
<p>Sorry to be a bother, but I was wondering if it made more sense to change the URL for Facebook so that it leads to our Wall instead of Info. If so, the URL should be: <a class="external" href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-CUNY-Academic-Commons/240252585721#!/pages/The-CUNY-Academic-Commons/240252585721?sk=wall">http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-CUNY-Academic-Commons/240252585721#!/pages/The-CUNY-Academic-Commons/240252585721?sk=wall</a></p>
<p>If not, no worries.</p>
<p>Best,<br />Sarah</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #1258: Add links to CAC Social Media Accounts in Footerhttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/1258?journal_id=50702011-11-16T17:28:24ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es
<ul></ul><p>No trouble at all, Sarah! I've made the change.</p>
