Thanks for the additional feedback, Syelle.

I tried creating a new topic and then editing the topic twice with a normal user account and I did not experience any issues.

The “you already said that” message appears when bbPress detects a duplicate post. This message only appears when creating a new post and not when editing. Since your initial…[Read more]

Aces!

Hi Ray,

Akismet only catches my new topics as spam when I edit a new topic twice, and it does that every time, consistently. Then, it often blocks me when I try to post it anew (“you already said that.”)

There is no way to change this setting, to allow us to edit new topics more than once?

Hi Syelle,

Akismet, our anti-spam plugin, mistakenly caught one of your new topics as spam. The topic isn’t lost, but it’s hidden from view.

We can reinstate the topic, but I see you’ve already created the same one here: https://commonsinabox.org/groups/openlab-help-support/forum/topic/bugs-in-template/

Thanks for the detailed report Syelle!

I was able to reproduce the issues and have put in a ticket: https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/commons-in-a-box/issues/362

Thanks for the update!

Hi Syelle,

We’re going to be including a fix for this in the next maintenance release for CBOX. We’re aiming for early August for the next release.

See https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/commons-in-a-box/issues/358 for all the forum fixes that will be included.

Okay, thanks, Bree! I’ll pass this on.

Hi Syelle,

Thanks for the additional details!

Each group has one template that is associated only with that group type, so if I understand your question correctly, there’s no way to change which site is used as the template for a group (at least through the dashboard).

There is some documentation about templates at the bottom of this…[Read more]

Hi Syelle,

This is not a problem with CBOX. It’s a problem with the Co-Authors Plus plugin and the Customizr theme. We have some specialized fixes on the Commons as outlined here.

It sounds like the problems in that ticket are the same as the ones you outlined. I can share those fixes with you in a code snippet if your developer is able to apply…[Read more]

Chris says,
“Yes, we are referring to the site templates for different group types. The specific thing that we’re interested in is whether it is possible to change which site is used as the template for a group. It doesn’t appear so (you can only go to the dashboard of the site) but we wanted to check to be sure.

“The more general point is that…[Read more]
