Hi Mary,

Thanks for all the details and screenshots!  I think you’re correct that it’s related to log-in state rather than browser.  Something is causing the links in the toolbar for your profile (“Hi,…”) and “Log Out” to be bumped down.

I wonder though if the cause is the theme, or the item that currently appears above “Hi, Mary Isbell.” (…[Read more]

Hi Troy and Sally,

Just wanted to say that a fix for this was included in the release yesterday.

Hi Mary,

I just wanted to give you a quick update that this was included in the release yesterday.   You should see that there are updates available in Dashboard > CBOX OpenLab > Plugins.

Bree

Hi Sally,

Just fyi that this was also included in the release yesterday.

Bree

Hi Sally,

This was fixed in the release yesterday — you’ll just need to apply the available updates.  You should see that there are updates available in Dashboard > CBOX OpenLab > Plugins.

Hi Sally,

Glad you found it!

Regarding your question about a reasonable size for course sites, in case it’s helpful I can tell you a little bit about our experience with the OpenLab at City Tech.

We limit individual file uploads to 10MB, and set site quotas at 300MB.  We’ve found this is more than enough in most cases, and if necessary,…[Read more]

Great!  Glad that worked.  🙂

Hi Mary,

Our developer has suggested the following:

For the easiest possible config, I’d recommend the following: Set up an account whose sole purpose is for WordPress to send emails, set this as the admin email for the installation (Dashboard > Network Admin > Settings), and then whitelist all emails coming from this address.

There’s another…[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.)

Bree

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

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!

Bree

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:

https://openlabdemo.commonsinabox.org/sample-course/

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

Hi Sally,

I just wanted to follow up quickly about one detail that you noted regarding email notifications:

The associated site did not generate an email to the user’s e-mail account (though I got one as the OpenLab admin).

This is the correct functionality — an email notification will only be generated for the OpenLab admin, but not for i…[Read more]

Hi Sally and Troy,

We may be able to address the issue with duplicate docs in our next release in late August.  It will include a BuddyPress update that may fix this issue, but I won’t know for sure until I’m able to test it.  If the BuddyPress update doesn’t fix the issue, I’ll hopefully be able to give you an estimate for a fix.

The other i…[Read more]

Thanks for the suggestion, Sally!  We’ll be able to include the text change to eliminate the plural in our next maintenance release, which will be the last week of August.

I’ll update this thread again once I have a date for that.

Best,

Bree
