S.G. replied to the topic Updating default avatar in the forum OpenLab Help & Support 1 year, 3 months ago

Hi everyone,

Perhaps this option has been added to the admin dashboard in a subsequent release, because I came across it and updated our avatar.

Just leaving the path here in case others are interested: appearance, customize, logos, Default Profile Photo.

Bree replied to the topic Plugin Management in the forum OpenLab Help & Support 3 years, 7 months ago

Thanks Ed, for starting this thread, and Troy for weighing in!

At the City Tech OpenLab we do this manually, but are interested in learning about plugins that others are using.

Bree 🙂

Troy,

Thank you for your response. I really appreciate your experience and you taking the time to share that.
Troy Welch replied to the topic Plugin Management in the forum OpenLab Help & Support 3 years, 7 months ago

Hi Ed, I admin a couple of mid-size WP multisites and a couple of smaller CBox ones.

I am running both Multisite Enhancements and Multisite Plugin Manager on our two mid-size servers. They seem to function just fine. There was one small issue with Multisite Enhancements involving favicons. If I recall it was initially sorted with some developer…[Read more]

This week over in SUNY, we had a problem with a non-Commons In Box plugin that broke one of our subsites, to the point that we were unable to view the site or even view the backend to turn the plugin off.

It’s one of those worst case scenario moments, and everything is fine now, but it got Amanda and I thinking and talking about Plugin Management…[Read more]

Sorry for the error. I’ve created the tag and you should now be able to complete the upgrade via the CBOX upgrade panel.
Ray replied to the topic WP Grade Posts breaking upgrade in the forum OpenLab Help & Support 3 years, 7 months ago

@cbox_admin – It looks like WP Grade Comments 1.4.4 was not tagged on wp.org’s SVN, so the referenced download for CBOX OpenLab does not exist: https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/commons-in-a-box/blob/9c92ebb5bd410eeff8bc6859b7ece90bd8d160e2/includes/openlab/plugins.php#L362.

Can you take a look?

Whoops, the screenshot was too large. Trying again.

Hi Ed,

Thanks for reporting this!

@cbox_admin Boone, would you be able to take a look at this? I’m able to reproduce the issue when I try to update WP Grade Comments on openlabdev.org. I’ve attached a screenshot.

Thanks!

Bree
Ed Beck started the topic WP Grade Posts breaking upgrade in the forum OpenLab Help & Support 3 years, 7 months ago

We recently updated to the new point version of Commons in a Box OpenLab.

Our problem is that WP Grade Comments is breaking the upgrade process. When we went to the CBOX Dashboard and tried to upgrade plugins, all of the other plugins successfully upgraded themselves to the latest version except WP Grade Comments.

We got this error…[Read more]

Hi Syelle,

Thanks for finding this bug. I can confirm the problem.

I have created a new issue with a fix:

In the meantime, before the next release, you will need to override the /wp-content/themes/openlab-theme/sidebar-help.php file with the…[Read more]
Ray replied to the topic What is the correct way to translate all CBOX OpenLab texts? in the forum OpenLab Help & Support 3 years, 7 months ago

The OpenLab theme’s strings are covered by the commons-in-a-box plugin, so you only need to translate the strings from the commons-in-a-box plugin.
S.G. replied to the topic Help us Remember How to Edit Help Widgets? in the forum OpenLab Help & Support 3 years, 7 months ago

Thanks again, @r-a-y. We finally remembered that Chris created a help page called “contact us,” and the system automatically linked it to that “Contact” in Our Support Team help widget.

And here is a clearer picture of why we wanted to change it, but it’s not high priority, in case you are overly busy; we just want to follow up:
