As you may have seen here before VA passed a bill saying universities can’t have student email visible without written consent from the student. We had a legacy site that had student emails as part of the title structure for the posts. We had stuff titled stuff like This is twwoodward@ecuniv.edu post or This is […]
We’re on our way to building an interesting knitting of sites for our Environmental Studies program. Imagine a tiered connection of syndication that moves from student portfolio sites at the base through courses in the middle and up to the program at the top. It’s a pyramid of aggregation where the metadata can be added […]

We needed to put a data privacy footer link on all our rampages sites. To do that I added this code in our generic network activated plugin. Then we realized we’d need to skip that occasionally for particular sites and that’s why we ended up adding a loop to skip sites by ID. It could […]
When you add images to H5P questions, the default behavior is to present them small. You can then click to make them go full size. We didn’t want to do that with the histology stuff. Luckily you can override the css as described here. I didn’t test this against other H5P options so it may […]
I like H5P. It is good. I did have some trouble figuring out library upgrades and subsequent content upgrades in the WordPress plugin. This video attempts to clarify the process for others. […]

We had a list of rampages sites in a Google Spreadsheet and wanted to know when they were created. I started to look that up but only managed to do it twice before I gave up and went in search of another way. In this case it took two little bits of code. This first […]
Obscuring emails in WordPress . . . the comments edition. This is likely overkill but given that VCU has concerns about student emails being divulged via group emails we figured it wouldn’t hurt. I don’t want a class requiring commenting on student sites and that resulting in student unintentionally divulging their VCU emails because they’re […]
Virginia recently passed some FOIA legislation (and even more legislation) that says essentially that institutions can’t release student emails without written consent. That includes student directories and other fairly traditional things done with student emails. It led us to look at our WordPress multisite install.1 While a VCU email address is required to sign up […]
This isn’t clean and I have no idea why this is behaving this way but . . . this is a way around it. Sometimes Gravity Forms won’t let me choose the “Use the Rich Text Editor” option but I really, really want to choose that option. It’s grayed out as you can see below. […]
