Description

Hi All,

I am working with Lehman OER team and ENG 121 director to pilot teaching the Eng 121 class on the Commons using a template site. This fall we will be training 10 faculty on the Commons and they will teach the course in the spring. All Eng 121 sites will use a commons site and students will post their final assignment on the site.

There will probably be a series of tickets related to the Lehman Eng 121 project so I just wanted to let you all know it was happening.

I am building the template site that faculty will clone to use in the project here: https://121test.commons.gc.cuny.edu

Can we add two new themes (available for activation on the template site above) for me to test out as part of this project (this also dovetails with my theme review that I am conducting):

  • Status changed from New to Staged for Production Release
  • Deployment actions updated (diff)

I've added the themes to the codebase:

blocksy https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/da2bfd53a3cba92ae28c522d083f7529e4b480e4
go https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/7f5fd66fa64d27bb9c1dd68edba3d09cd027ebf0

After today's maintenance release, I'll enable the themes for 121test.commons. You'll then be able to activate them on that site (but nowhere else on the Commons).

Working with the Blocksy theme -- when try to edit the header area it indicates I need to install the "Blocksy Companion plugin"

Would it be possible to install and active on this site?
