Hi Bree,

Thank you! That’s what I was hoping to do and now it’s done with your help!

Hi Bree,

Thanks! It seems like the simpler option is going to be to ask IT to whitelist all e-mails that the site generates. It seems like e-mails automatically generated by OpenLab are not all the same (account verification looks different than the e-mail announcing a new associated site for a course, and there might be others). Do you have any…[Read more]

Hi Mary,

There’s currently no way to add this kind of text to the registration page within the Dashboard.  If you would like to make modifications, our developer Boone Gorges made the following suggestions:

It must be changed in an overridden theme template. In a child theme ‘my-child-theme’, copy…

Hi Mary,

Are you trying to disable the display of certain types of groups on the homepage (e.g, to only display three or two of the potential four types of groups)?  If so, you can find that setting in Dashboard > CBOX OpenLab > Brand Settings > Visual > Homepage > Home Main.

You can find more details here: https://commonsinabox.org/visual

Hi Sally,

There will be a fix included for this in the release next week on Wednesday 8/28.   After the release, you’ll see that a CBOX OpenLab update is available when you go to Dashboard > CBOX OpenLab > Plugins.  (Documentation is here.)

Best,

Bree

Thanks, Sally!  I’ll check in with the team and get back to you about how to fix the broken links.

I still might need guidance on how to add the correct links in that Course Home page …

Sorry – I didn’t read carefully enough — Those links posted above are from the Course Home bottom part — below are the links on the right side menu:

https://globalx.junkanooingb.com/education/groups/bmcc-ubn-coil/docs/

https://globalx.junkanooingb.com/education/groups/bmcc-ubn-coil/forum/

I see the problem!!

The link is for the course is:

https://globalx.junkanooingb.com/education/groups/bmcc-ubn-coil/

But it is private, so links to those pages are:

https://globalx.junkanooingb.com/groups/bmcc-ubn-coil/docs/

https://globalx.junkanooingb.com/groups/bmcc-ubn-coil/forum/

Hi Sally,

If the course is public, could you send me a link to the Course Home page so I can take a look?  If it’s private, could you post the URLs for Recent Docs, Recent Discussions, and for Docs and Discussion in the right-hand menu?

Thanks!

Bree

Excellent!  Thanks for letting me know!

Hi Bree,

Wow–thanks very much! Fantastic that it’s folded into the upcoming release.

That fixed it! Thanks very much!

Hi Mary,

My apologies for the delay in getting back to you about this!

We’re able to put in a fix in the upcoming release at the end of August that will hide the Group Home link in the site nav when the group is hidden and the current user doesn’t have the ability to view it.

In the meantime, if you wanted to implement a fix before late August,…[Read more]

Hi Mary,

It looks like the logo you’re using has a transparent background.  Could you use one with a white background?  You can see an example of a logo with a white background on an associated site on our demo CBOX OpenLab site:

If that doesn’t work for you, let me know and I’ll revisit a…[Read more]

Hi Mary,

Thanks for bringing up this question! It is a rare combination of privacy settings, but I can see why it could cause confusion with sites attached to a hidden group.

I’ll check in with the rest of the team about this and your other question and get back to you shortly.

Best,

Bree
