CUNY Academic Commons

This is not a Bug. Should be filed under Support or Feature.

Matt,

I've got the plugin ready to push up for tonight's release, but I wanted to point out (before I push up) that we do have the Front Page Category widget already installed.

You and I discussed the use of this plugin in a previous issue: #655

Let me know if you still want me to add this plugin.

Thanks, Dom. A few notes:

-- In the other ticket, it's true that we discovered that this plugin didn't do what I thought it did (affect the front page categories), but that it did do what Jen needs it to do (affect the actual posts that appear on the front page). Hence, I think we should add it.

-- I'm confused: you say we have the widget installed; do we already have the plugin installed?

Thanks, Matt

The confusion stems from the fact that we're talking about two plugins with almost the exact same name.

We currently have a plugin installed called Front Page Category

This ticket is requesting a plugin called Frontpage category filter

I'm wondering if the former will do what Jen wants before I add the latter.

Gotcha -- thanks.

Jen, can you please test and let us know? Ideally today, if possible, as we're doing a site update later tonight.

Matt,

We're so close to release that I'm just gonna add this plugin now and let Jen test them both. No one else will be using the new one, so if the old works for her we can remove the redundant new one in 1.4.13.

Does that work for you?

Perfect - thanks, Dom

Hi Dom,

Thanks for the install. The github link goes to a 404.

Also, not seeing the new Frontpage Category Filter plugin on the Commons. I've tested the Front Page Category plugin in the past and it has not worked. Will test again though!

Thanks. JG

Also -- don't mind the github link (internal team notes, as our codebase there isn't public)

Aha and thanks!

Jen - FYI, the Frontpage Category Filter plugin is now available for use on the Commons.

Thank you! It works perfectly!!
