We had a network activated plugin throwing a notification across all our site dashboards. We did not wish for this to happen any longer. So this was added to a network activated plugin. The first part enqueues a css script for the dashboard. The CSS makes the message hidden. The css targets a particular element […]
Normally we finish our projects in anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks. Digital Histology has been the exception to that rule. I can see a reference to the site going back to Nov. of 2016! That doesn’t mean we’ve worked on this site continuously for years. The gaps have been frequent and […]
Voice Thread’s embed code should like what you see below. For non-super admins who have iframe embed rights we were getting this instead (once the post had updated and been cleansed by our friend kses). It still mostly worked but we needed to tweak things to let in those additional variables (allowusermedia allowfullscreen allow). You […]

I thought we could and it led to this simple example2 that I think will have lots of interesting and broad applications […]

I talked to some VCU people about ePortofolios1. It’s a conversation I’ve had any number of times over the years. I think that experience is leading to a better understanding of what’s going on structurally and the space we have to navigate competing interests. I’m also in a better position to show how certain technologies […]
We wanted to be able to know whether people signing up for Ram Pages were faculty or not but didn’t want to add fields for them to fill out. VCU has an online phonebook with faculty emails in it but there didn’t appear to be a way to hook into an API. But you can […]
