Re: Internet Explorer Security Information

Hi, Darren,
You are probably right. It was likely something asked for by Orfa, as she
has much more experience in data security than I do (read: any experience
whatsoever).

Were we aware of the issues this would cause when using the browser in IE?
We may have been advised on this, but I don't remember. Also, I don't think
the security notification was popping up at the time of launch. Do you
recall when this started happening?

Lastly, is there a way to find out what benefits this protocol provides?
Yours,
Christian

RE: Internet Explorer Security Information

Christian-

This was a decision that was moved forward from your end, as I recall. I don't remember if it was an Orfa or a Coleen thing. I would have to dig through old emails to jog my memory.

RE: Internet Explorer Security Information

Hi Christian,

After checking in with the team on this, here is what I have for you at this time.

If you are using the https protocol, which you are, any http items that are referenced in the page to be loaded will throw this error, namley image sources, such as <img src="http://www.image.jpg/> or links in the page, like <LI class=li1><A href="http://www2.creighton.edu/adultdegrees/">Adult Education</A> </LI>.

This is why you are getting the error showing the page has both secure and non-secure items.

I am checking in with them to see if there is anything we can do to prevent this error.

Thank you,

Bryon Kuehn

RE: Jayspace issues

Thank you very much for sharing this with us.  You are right.  Not positive.  We will need to discuss this further.

Hi, Bryon,
This is not urgent, but I thought I’d point you to what some of our students are saying about  jayspace on this facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2414448641
It’s not at all positive.
I hope we can figure how to make it better.
Any suggestions?

RE: Flash Streaming Server

Christian-

 

Where are the videos you are specifically referring to?  I am not finding them.

 

Regarding a Flash Streaming Server….Adobe does recommend (and with good reason) use of a Flash Streaming Server…but at the same time they obviously have a financial stake in licensing as many as possible.

 

Depending on performance needs and traffic volume, this is something that should-from a cost perspective-be evaluated case by case.  Would you want to discuss on Monday?

 

I hope all is well.  FYI…I will be in town some this coming week.  Perhaps we should check in with one another and just visit on where things are at.  If not this week…what are things looking like for the week following.  We haven’t done a face to face in a while.

 

Darren

Hi, Bryon,
From everything I read from Adobe, it sounds like we should have our flash videos on a Flash Streaming Server rather than have them set up as progressive downloads.
Do we even have that capability?

RE: Hot Topics and Live Topics

Hi Christian,

I have a few updates for you on some of the items below.
 
1 & 2: The events module is currently being worked on by out implementation team. We hope to wrap this module up soon and get it through testing. For 2, forms and events in this context are the same thing. Once the Events module is released, your forms issues should also be resolved. There is a "forms" module already but is only available for post-login. Making this available to pre-login is on our enhancement list.
 
3. Has been resolved as previously discussed
 
4. We have recently updated blogs, however, to accomplish what you're looking for we'd like to gather a summary from you as to exactly what you'd like to do with blogs, and we can work with a developer to look into setting them up this way.
 
5. After talking with Darren, he believes that many of these items have been previously addressed. He is out of the office the remainder of this week but we will review the issues further when he is back in the office to see which have and have not been addressed.
 
Please let me know if you have any questions on the information from above.
 
Thank you,

Hi, Bryon,
I wanted to ask about a few things regarding the website:
  1. Events – Can I get  an update on this? The last time I checked, we were having the same issues  that we’ve had since November. Please see the Website Issues blog for details:  http://cuwebsite.blogspot.com/  
  2. Forms – Do you know  if this module is ready to go? We’ve been having Jane Gleason create forms for  us because of issues with the forms. In all honesty, I don’t know what the  issues were as Orfa had mostly been working with James Tower on this. Anything  you can tell me would be useful.
  3. Role auto-assign –  Have you made any decisions about when and how often this can be run without  affecting performance of the site? Please let me know.
  4. Blogs – I would  still like to segregate the blogs so that we can have student, faculty and  staff and parent blogs. The last time I tried this, however, it created a  bunch of duplicate child blogs of those we already have. The blogging issues  are also all over the Website issues blog, http://cuwebsite.blogspot.com/  
  5. Hot and Live Topics  on the Website Issues blog: As I have only invited you today to be a reader of  the Website Issues blog, you will not be aware that I have created labels for  the posts so that it is easier to see what issues are hot (urgent), live  (still to be addressed) and resolved. The hot topics are at http://cuwebsite.blogspot.com/search/label/Hot%20topics.  The live topics are at http://cuwebsite.blogspot.com/search/label/Live%20topics.  I would like to find out what’s going on with all of these  issues.
    In light of the extent of these requests for information, it might be a good idea to have a conference call so that we can talk. No doubt things will come up that are not included in this email. Perhaps we can get Orfa in on it, too.
    Yours,

  1. Events – Can I get  an update on this? The last time I checked, we were having the same issues  that we’ve had since November. Please see the Website Issues blog for details:  http://cuwebsite.blogspot.com/  
  2. Forms – Do you know  if this module is ready to go? We’ve been having Jane Gleason create forms for  us because of issues with the forms. In all honesty, I don’t know what the  issues were as Orfa had mostly been working with James Tower on this. Anything  you can tell me would be useful.
  3. Role auto-assign –  Have you made any decisions about when and how often this can be run without  affecting performance of the site? Please let me know.
  4. Blogs – I would  still like to segregate the blogs so that we can have student, faculty and  staff and parent blogs. The last time I tried this, however, it created a  bunch of duplicate child blogs of those we already have. The blogging issues  are also all over the Website issues blog, http://cuwebsite.blogspot.com/  
  5. Hot and Live Topics  on the Website Issues blog: As I have only invited you today to be a reader of  the Website Issues blog, you will not be aware that I have created labels for  the posts so that it is easier to see what issues are hot (urgent), live  (still to be addressed) and resolved. The hot topics are at http://cuwebsite.blogspot.com/search/label/Hot%20topics.  The live topics are at http://cuwebsite.blogspot.com/search/label/Live%20topics.  I would like to find out what’s going on with all of these  issues.
    In light of the extent of these requests for information, it might be a good idea to have a conference call so that we can talk. No doubt things will come up that are not included in this email. Perhaps we can get Orfa in on it, too.
    Yours,
    Christian

RE: Chat page rendering weirdness

Christian-
 
I am sorry I wasn't able to participate in the chat event last night.  I went to bed just as it was starting with a 101 temperature and have actually stayed home today as well.
 
We will be looking at this.  There is a recent update to the chat which we have, but we have some issues with it that we are working to address.  I hope to have some feedback for you on this shortly.  Sorry this continues to be an ongoing thorn.
 
Thanks.
 
Darren

Hi, Bryon,
We had a chat last night. It seemed to go off without a hitch. There does seem to be an issue with the chat module.
I’ve attached screenshots of how the chat page appears when the chat window is visible to all (not only administrators).
As you will see it renders very oddly, and no rendering is accurate to the code.

When the chat module is invisible, however, the page renders just fine.

I’ve attached the screenshots of the page (all in Windows OS).
Yours,
Christian

New User Profile (Now with minty fresh IM=?ISO-8859-1?B?gQ==?=)

Hi,
In light light of our Jayspace debacle yesterday, I decided to look at what else we could put on the profiles. As it turns out, we can allow users to chat with their rediscovered or newly-found friends.

The AIM and Yahoo attributes (renamed IM (AOL) and IM (Yahoo) for the purposes of display on the user profiles) not only allow you put the address it, but they also show one’s online status and are linked to your client IM software (AOL or Yahoo).  This is because they are attribute types: AIM ID and Yahoo ID, respectively, rather than merely text.

While I’m pleased to have discovered this (nay, ecstatic), I am surprised no one told me that I could do this, given our many discussions about this module. So . . . now we all know, I guess. And now I want MORE:
  • Can we have the same for MSN and Gmail? (Aren’t these the other popular IM tools? Does anyone know what’s popular right now?)
  • Can’t we have e-mail be of an Attribute type JT calls “email” and is made to be linked to open one’s mail app? All it would really take is appending “mailto:” to front of whatever is entered or comes over via import. You guys can do that, surely.

Anyway, I wanted to share. We do have IM on the User Profiles (so long as you have AIM or Yahoo).
Yours,
Christian

Below (or attached) is a screenshot of our new interactivity:

Chat test and Inactivity Timeout

Hi, Darren,
Thanks again for setting up and including us in the test. We were generally reassured by the results of the test. Also, I appreciate your making the chat unavailable after I set up the room on Friday p.m.

One thing I wanted to follow up on regarding the chat:
  • How long can one remain inactive before getting a timeout?
  • Is there anyway to change this?
We have a feeling that a lot of people will just want to watch rather than participate in the chat.

I would like to have this information within the next couple weeks. We’re planning to schedule the next chat for the end of January.

Yours,
Christian

Blueox list still with other college's info

Hi, Darren,
I thought this had been fixed (and I think it was), but I just created a list the other day and it came up with Duke’s information as the default.
Could you please have someone look at fixing this once and for all?
It is frustrating to have to redo list settings every time.
Yours,
Christian

RE: Profile thumbnail viewer not seen by Admissions_Reps role on the Community Page

Christian-
 
In looking at this issue, I am similarly stumped.  Everything appears to be fully accessible/reviewable by the Admissions Counselor role...yet...the profiles are not populating.
 
I am submitting this to the technical team to look at as well.  I will continue to review this (and the other email you sent) to see if I discover anything, while they work on it too.

Hi, Darren,
I can’t seem to set up the profile viewer so that the admissions counselors, who are under the Admissions_Reps role, can see them on the Community Page.
It’s kind of inexplicable.
Can you or the J-T(eam) figure it out?
Yours,

Reseting password

Hi, Mary,
I took a look at this.

I’m not which username you were trying to use, but because I don’t see a security question in the screen shot you sent, it looks like it might have been one I created. Because I created it, I didn’t have to fill in nearly as many fields, including “security question.” If you were the average site user, you should see a question there.
Where you probably couldn’t type was in the question field, because that is something AG provides based on your initial  registration.

That doesn’t explain why the image link is broken. That’s probably a James Tower question because they built this page.
Yours,
Christian
