CUNY Academic Commons

Hi Boone,

Is there any way to get a time table for how long this issue will take to fix? Please let me know if you need any additional information about the problem that I'm having.

Best,
Laura

Okay, thanks!

Hi Boone,

Thanks for looking into this issue. I was able to figure out how to get the right categories to show up in the correct areas (I apologize for not updating this ticket with that information), but there is an issue that still persists.

After I read your update, I went to the site and noticed that, while the slider was pulling from the right place, the "Featured Posts..." area directly below the slider had been reset, and was just pulling the most recent posts from any category. Because the Terms field doesn't save the values, if any one of them is changed without adding any values to the other ones, the Terms fields left blank are then reverted back to pulling the most recent posts, not posts from a specific category.

I'm not sure if the original fix that I found and posted about covers this problem.

Just for your reference, the slider is supposed to pull from "Slider", the first featured posts area is supposed to pull from three categories - "Immigration", "Inequality" and "Religion", and the second featured posts area is supposed to pull from "Watch".

I'm not sure if the original fix that I found and posted about covers this problem.

The fix in that post must have referred to a different version of this theme; the code they'd suggested changing doesn't exist anywhere in our version. In any case, I don't think it would have fixed anything anyway, as it looks to me like the feature is working correctly - it's just a javascript issue that is keeping the admin panel from being usable.

I put a temporary fix into place that forces the numerical IDs to show up while looking at http://arctest1.commons.gc.cuny.edu/wp-admin/themes.php?page=theme_options#zone-home. Will you have a look and see if it's working the way you would expect? Thanks.

Yea! It's totally working properly now. I changed the slider and saved and the other featured areas remained the same. Awesome!

One last question - we have to move this site to a different URL soon (the official URL). Is this theme going to be made available for the entirety of the Commons, or do I need to submit a request to have it applied to a different URL? When the site moves, will you have to put that temporary fix in again?

Thanks so much for your help!

Hi Laura,

When you know the final URL, just give us a heads-up and we'll make it available.

Hi Boone,

Thanks again for the work you've done to fix the site bugs. Matt Gold has made the URL available for the site, so no need to do anything else!

Thank you!

Great - thanks for reporting back, Laura!
