Hi Sally,

I just wanted to follow up to say that I checked into the timing for this functionality.  It’s going to take some work to implement the feature, so I’m not able to say when that might happen.

But, it’s helpful to know that it would be useful for you, and I’ll update this thread if I have any new information.

Thanks!

Bree

Hi Mary and Sally,

There are a few more things I wanted to mention.

I know this thread is about public projects with a hidden site, but just in case it isn’t clear, if you had a hidden project, since it wouldn’t appear in the project directory, you can always find it by going to My Profile, listed under My Projects.

Also, we’d love to hear more…[Read more]

Thanks for the update, Mary!  This is helpful to know!

Hi Mary,

Thanks for your post!

You should be able to see the link for an associated site on the project profile if you are the site admin, even if the site is hidden.  See, for example, the attached screenshot of a project home, as viewed by the site admin, with the following site privacy settings: “I would like my site to be visible only to…[Read more]

Hi Sally,

Thanks for reaching out!  Currently, there isn’t a way to add an additional faculty member to be listed in the ‘Professor’ field.

We have a ticket to add this in a future release, but I’m not sure when that will happen.  I can check in with the team to see if I can get a better idea of when it might be coming, but due to overlapping t…[Read more]

Hi Mary,

It looks like at this point you’ll need to reach out to Reclaim for help troubleshooting this issue.  Our developer thought that the “maximum upload size” error suggests an issue that Reclaim will need to look into.  “This could happen because of an odd WP configuration, but I think it could also be triggered by the specifics of a s…[Read more]

Hi Mary,

Thanks for the additional troubleshooting, and apologies for the delay!  I’ve reached out again to our developer and will get back to you as soon as I have more information for you.

Thanks!

Bree

Hi Mary,

Thanks for the additional details!

What you see on the dashboard for the site-template-project site is normal — since this is the default site template for all project sites, it should just contain the Hello World post, unless you had previously added any other posts.  Any changes you make here will be replicated on other new project…[Read more]

Hi Mary,

I heard back from our developer who had some suggestions.

One more thing you can try is to double check that that the template site for projects (see documentation here) has any associated with it.  To do this, go to the Dashboard of the template site for projects and check to see if the media library is empty. In addition, upload a…[Read more]

Hi Mary,

Sorry you’re still experiencing the issue, but I’m happy to help you sort it out.  I’ll have to check in again with our developer to see what the next steps might be for troubleshooting, but I’ll get back to you as soon as I know more.

Thanks!
Bree

Hi Mary,

Our developer thought that the issues might be due to file permission settings and suggested asking Reclaim Hosting about this. He said the server should be configured so that warnings of this sort are not visible on the site. Ensure that WP_DEBUG is not set to true in wp-config.php, and consider setting error_reporting( 0 ); as well.…[Read more]

Hi again Mary,

One more thing I wanted to mention — if your student would prefer to keep his external WordPress site, members also have the option of creating a new group on CBOX OL and instead of creating a new site, they can associate the group with an external site.  If he wanted to do this with his existing project he could go into the…[Read more]

Hi Mary,

Thanks again for all the details!

Your registration settings should still allow users to create sites without a problem.

I also tried to reproduce the error you’re seeing on my own fresh test install, but couldn’t, so I’m going to reach out to the rest of the team to see if someone else can help you troubleshoot.

Best,

Bree

Hi Mary,

Great!  I’m glad that worked.

Good question about the other options, but you can leave the setting as is.  New users will be able to create new groups/sites, so no need to change anything.

And, your question has uncovered a gap in our documentation!  🙂  We’ll be updating it to make this part of the registration settings more cle…[Read more]

Hi Mary,

Thanks for all the details! I should be able to help you fix the issue with the registration page.

When you go to Network Settings page in the Network Admin Dashboard (which should be here: http://unewhavendh.org/wp-admin/network/settings.php ), under Registration Settings > Allow new registrations, is “User accounts may be r…[Read more]

Hi Duck,

You can change this by going to Dashboard > Member Settings > Profile Fields.  Or, I believe the URL on your site should be: https://werkgroepen.nl/wp-admin/network/users.php?page=bp-profile-setup

Here, you’ll want to edit the Geboortedatum field.  When you do, you will see an option to choose the date range.  The default start year is…[Read more]

Thanks, Duck, for reaching out!

It’s a holiday here today, but I’ll pose your question to the rest of the team tomorrow and get back to you as soon as we have more information or questions.

Also, it sounds like an interesting usage of the platform! I’d love to take a look at the site once it’s up and running.

Best,
Bree

Thanks, Troy!  I’ve put in a ticket for this.

Hi Troy,

Thanks for the report!  I’m not able to reproduce this error.  Would you mind retrying with your JS console open, and include a screenshot?

Thanks!

Bree

Hi Troy,

Apologies for the delay.  I wasn’t able to reproduce your error exactly, but I noticed some issues with the calendar that also appear to be related to Google Maps.  I put in a ticket here: https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/commons-in-a-box/issues/163

Thanks again!

Bree
