CUNY Academic Commons

I really like the look and feel of the new dashboard. It meshes with the CAC dashboard. I also like that Widgets are more easily accessible. Haven't come across any issues yet. Perdy.

I can only log in as teststudent to Cdev. As teststudent, I do not have access to any wp-admin pages. Can cdev access be given to me under my user name, mweber? I'll look at it by 11 a.m. tomorrow if possible.

I've been using the new dashboard for quite awhile - since CBOX is already on board with it. I didn't find the transition very difficult. The one thing that I noticed is that I needed to change the Admin Color Scheme to something that wasn't so hard on my eyes (in my case it was "Light"). And it wasn't all that apparent how to do that. Other than that, I really didn't notice any issues. But let me know if I should include more stuff in the documentation.

Thanks, Boone! That was the missing piece of the puzzle. Trying to go into the other blogs I could see in "My Sites" (i.e., Boonespartyblog) was getting me nowhere. Now I can see the dashboard. As Sarah says, it's very pretty.
I like that there's the "At a Glance" section, but I wish it included dates, so that I could quickly see, for example, that the 1 post is from 12 Feb 2014 01:50 am. I know that this wasn't in "Right Now" (the dashboard feature it's replacing)
What is the box to the right with the dotted lines?
Under "Activity" I can indeed see my "Recently Published" post and its date (hooray!) but I cannot see my submitted comment.
I'm a fan of QuickDraft.
Anything else I should look for?
If cdev access is given to me under my user name, mweber, I'd be happy to look at this under my other blogs.
Nice work!

Chris, I'm guessing that the extra Widgets menu is caused by an additional plugin that you've got running on that site. Maybe you could browse through the list to double-check.

Hi Boone,
I can't find a plugin that is causing the problem. I'm seeing it on all dashboards. I visited a few sites and saw it on all of them including the CUNY Pie site.

One of mine that doesn't have any active plugins

Maybe it's a plugin that has network activation? Are others seeing the extra Widgets link?

Thanks for the additional details, Chris. The Widgets menu was being caused by a network-activated plugin called Widget Entries. I've deactivated it on cdev. It is not network-activated on the production site, so it shouldn't be an issue.

Great, glad that's resolved simply.
