CUNY Academic Commons

Laurie, thanks for sharing these details.

I was able to confirm and address a few of your items:

1. Name does not appear at the top of the CV Page above pronouns. I tried entering this information in my profile, in case it was pulling from the profile info, but nothing is coming up (maybe it takes some time?). Is the profile information supposed to auto-populate those CV areas? I can confirm this happens in both firefox and chrome after clearing cache.

The default value was pulling from a part of the WP profile that isn't usually filled out on the Commons. I've made a switch in https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/f944abdeec2e0ccac26c01696858282e5b517c8b that should address this.

3. In "Positions" I can indicate a CUNY campus but the campus name does not appear once the the CV is saved and published.

Yes, this was a bug, which should now be fixed by https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/b62d5b5e9d1cf116315fccb254575be3614e65af

I was not able to reproduce a couple of your items:
2. Looks OK to me, and doesn't match what I see in your screenshot. See https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/members/boonetest401/ on cdev. There are some other problems with the social links, which I'll list below, but the basic functionality seems all right.
4. Alignment looks OK to me. Maybe there's an issue with some cached CSS?

Regarding 5, perhaps Jeremy could look into this with a Mac.

6. Should we add a date input for the positions section? Many people include dates with their CV positions, and if left blank it could just not display.

I like the idea of a "date" field and I think we should talk about how it would work, but it should happen in a separate ticket. Not critical for this release.

7. When I am working on my CV but it is not yet published, I have no way to see how it will look once it goes live. So the only way to see how the CV will look is to publish. I do not think this is ideal. Would it be possible to add a "preview live CV" option?

This is a pretty good idea and I think we should discuss it in a separate ticket for a future release.

A few things I've noticed that I wanted to note here:

8. The icons that appear in the edit view for Socials do not always match the icons that appear on the public view, or the icons that appear in the block toolbar. See socials.gif. The important thing is that they look right on the public view, which they do, but it's a bit confusing to edit right now. Posting here rather than in a separate ticket in the hopes that it's not a difficult fix.

9. Does the WP social-link block allow you to do any client-side validation of user input? For example, if I put 'boone' into the X/Twitter field, the href on the link goes to https://boone.

Thanks for the testing and all the notes!

2. I don't think the "Socials" area is working correctly. I can input information but it appears incorrectly spaced below the word "socials" and I cannot link to any social platforms. Even after I entered a fake Twitter in my profile, nothing is appearing.

This is working for me, though it sounds like something I have seen before when the focus somehow leaves that social icons group. I've attached a screenshot of what the list view should show. Is there a chance the text/link you've added has ended up outside of the "Social Icons" level?

4. When selecting header media the select area appears to be misaligned.

I can get this to happen on some browser sizes. I'll improve the responsiveness of that layout tomorrow.

5. I cannot view, edit, or create a CV in safari. The page does not load.

This is working for me fine in Safari 17.1.2 on Mac OS 12.7.1 (Monterey). Laurie, if you're still seeing this, can your OS and Safari version? Thanks!

7. When I am working on my CV but it is not yet published, I have no way to see how it will look once it goes live. So the only way to see how the CV will look is to publish. I do not think this is ideal. Would it be possible to add a "preview live CV" option? This way, people who are working on pulling it together do not have to go live just to see how it will appear once published. Maybe I am missing this option and it is already there, and if so, apologies!

As Boone mentioned, I think we can target this in a later release. I'm someone who likes to view the actual preview by clicking a link, though ideally the editor view we've made should be a very close representation and eliminate most of the need for that—especially if all fields are filled in.

8. The icons that appear in the edit view for Socials do not always match the icons that appear on the public view

I have a long blog post brewing for how social links are managed in WordPress. The custom icons we have are already in JavaScript for the block selector view and in PHP for the front-end view. I haven't yet figured out how to get them in the editor view, which is now a hobby project of mine out of frustration. :)

I don't think I'm too far away from figuring it out, but I'd like to not promise it for the release.

9. Does the WP social-link block allow you to do any client-side validation of user input?

There's nothing immediately obvious, but I'll take a look to see if we can add a listener of sorts. We could add some server-side filtering on save or output too.

Thanks, Jeremy! Cover image process/display is looking good to me. The only thing I'm seeing so far is the Commons universal footer being obscured by the editor view, not public view. See attached video/screenshot of Chrome with cache just cleared.

In Colin's walkthrough video, I noticed a small visual bug when toggling List View mode. See attached screenshot.

This is due to the Gutenberg plugin's CSS. I've just pushed a fix so the List View tabs are styled correctly before the Gutenberg plugin was activated: https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/539af3fed0c913b9d168efe97a1277b8442babf6 .
