<ul></ul><p>A few follow-up items from today's meeting:</p>
<p>- We have decided to limit the character input when creating/editing the description, rather than truncating.<br />- We discussed the possibility of using the site tagline for a fallback value. It sounds like we're probably not going to do this right away, because taglines may not be very helpful. But we can revisit at some point down the road.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #15875: Introduce 'description' field for siteshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/15875?journal_id=694362022-04-11T14:58:23ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es

<p>A few implementation notes, where I'd welcome feedback or other ideas.</p>
<p>a. The new Description field appears at the top of the list of our custom "metadata" fields, which is to say that it's just above 'Campus'.<br />b. I added a tooltip to let people know that the information is used in directories. See description-tooltip.jpg.<br />c. I added a dynamic character counter, to help people understand the character limit. See description-char-count.gif.<br />d. When cloning a site, the source site's description is prepopulated into the Description field for the new site, but can be changed. This is similar to our other custom metadata fields, such as Campus.<br />e. The character limit is 200. This allows for a reasonable amount of text, without messing up the directory view too much.</p>
<p>Sara and Colin especially, please let me know if you have requests for changes.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #15875: Introduce 'description' field for siteshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/15875?journal_id=694632022-04-11T22:21:54ZColin McDonald
<ul></ul><p>Thanks Boone, this all looks good to me on an initial CDEV pass. I wonder if the "X (of 200) characters remaining" under the text box could just be "195 of 200 characters remaining" for simplicity, but not much else besides that I noticed right now.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Feature #15875: Introduce 'description' field for siteshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/15875?journal_id=694672022-04-12T12:44:56ZBoone Gorgesboone@gorg.es
