DAB features in user account

[ZiggyAtl]

@paulstroot here are the things I was referring to when I said the DAB features links aren't working as they did;

If you click on ‘View Certificate’ and then click on ‘Print Certificate’ it gets split in to two pages when you try and print / save it, and it also has unnecessary info on it such as the date at the top

When you download the PDF of the certificate this error message comes up

Virtual Gallery Instructions page doesn’t display any of the formatting which is contained in the Shopify-Sales channels-Pages set up page (same as how the Privacy Policy did before it was fixed)

SOCIAL LINKS

Instagram icon has a blue box behind it. Also when it’s clicked the ‘Download the image’ link doesn’t work, and the ‘My DAB’ doesn’t show.

X icon is old Twitter icon. Also the autogenerated post is cut short. For example on IG it shows ‘Check out the piece of "Village is Family (for testing)" by Ashley Bella I’ve just bought @CoMission.Art. DAB #4216 now has my name on it and @TheKingCenter has a donation in my name.’ But on X it cuts off and just says “Check out the piece of "Village is Family (for testing)" by Ashley Bella I’ve just bought @CoMission.Art. DAB” Also the link it posts just takes someone to the home page, not to their certificate

Facebook link doesn’t generate the text for the post, like the X one does. Also the link it posts just takes someone to the artwork page for that piece, not to their certificate

Thanks Bill. I'll take a look into these issues tomorrow.

Lots of issues here. I'll go through them one at a time:

If you click on ‘View Certificate’ and then click on ‘Print Certificate’ it gets split in to two pages when you try and print / save it, and it also has unnecessary info on it such as the date at the top

The "View Certificate" page now opens up in the version of the certificate without the comission site header and footer. User can print this page with their browser. If the user clicks the "View DAB" in an email, it will open up the certificate page that does have the site header and footer, allowing them to navigate to other pages on the site. This page will have a "print certificate" button on it, which will open a printable certificate page without the header and footer.

When you download the PDF of the certificate this error message comes up [image attached]

Virtual Gallery Instructions page doesn’t display any of the formatting which is contained in the Shopify-Sales channels-Pages set up page (same as how the Privacy Policy did before it was fixed)

I believe Jon is working on this in another issue.

X icon is old Twitter icon.

Updated.

Also the autogenerated post is cut short.

This is because twitter has a limit of 280 characters, and the art title "Village is Family (for testing)" is pretty long. I suggest we drop the part "and @TheKingCenter has a donation in my name.’", which should bring the copy down to under 280 characters after we remove the "testing" from the art name.

Also the link it posts just takes someone to the home page, not to their certificate

This is the functionality we had from the start. I believe the idea is that we want to guide users to learn more about Comission, right?

Facebook link doesn’t generate the text for the post, like the X one does. Also the link it posts just takes someone to the artwork page for that piece, not to their certificate

We can not explicitly pass in a custom title and description to facebook, it is taken from the meta information built into the page. because our page is dynamic, displaying different certificate information based on the parameters sent in the URL, this makes it difficult to have a custom facebook share URL for each certificate. I made a compromise here and decided to have facebook share the artwork page.

@paulstroot Hi Paul, I’ve stripped out anything that is complete (thanks for those), and commented on the rest with **** preceding my comments.

If you click on ‘View Certificate’ and then click on ‘Print Certificate’ it gets split in to two pages when you try and print / save it, and it also has unnecessary info on it such as the date at the top

The "View Certificate" page now opens up in the version of the certificate without the comission site header and footer. User can print this page with their browser.

**** Can this version therefore be the one that’s used for ‘Download Certificate PDF’ and eliminate the 'View Certificate' option?

If the user clicks the "View DAB" in an email, it will open up the certificate page that does have the site header and footer, allowing them to navigate to other pages on the site. This page will have a "print certificate" button on it, which will open a printable certificate page without the header and footer.

**** The only thing is that we don’t send out an email with 'View DAB'. However we are missing something we had previously (which I also mention further below) and this is almost exactly what we need for it. When the system used to automatically generate the social media post, it used to add a link to a page which took the viewer to a version of the owners certificate, which also had a button titled “Buy your own DAB” which took them to the main artwork page e.g. https://comission.art/products/village-is-family-testing). It didn’t allow them to print the certificate, and this isn’t an issue as the only person who would want to is the owner, and they already have the ability to download and print it.

Virtual Gallery Instructions page doesn’t display any of the formatting which is contained in the Shopify-Sales channels-Pages set up page (same as how the Privacy Policy did before it was fixed)

I believe Jon is working on this in another issue.

**** I got sent an update and link, but it wasn’t any different from what it was like when I mentioned it last night

Also the autogenerated post is cut short.

This is because twitter has a limit of 280 characters, and the art title "Village is Family (for testing)" is pretty long. I suggest we drop the part "and @TheKingCenter has a donation in my name.’", which should bring the copy down to under 280 characters after we remove the "testing" from the art name.

**** I definitely want the donation info in there. An aspect of my target market is their need to brag about their altruism. I’m working on the wording for it and will send it through shortly.

Also the link it posts just takes someone to the home page, not to their certificate

This is the functionality we had from the start. I believe the idea is that we want to guide users to learn more about Comission, right?

**** No, but thats the bit I covered earlier about the link we want to send people to.

Facebook link doesn’t generate the text for the post, like the X one does. Also the link it posts just takes someone to the artwork page for that piece, not to their certificate

We can not explicitly pass in a custom title and description to facebook, it is taken from the meta information built into the page. because our page is dynamic, displaying different certificate information based on the parameters sent in the URL, this makes it difficult to have a custom facebook share URL for each certificate. I made a compromise here and decided to have facebook share the artwork page.

****. Sorry you lost me a little there lol. So you’re saying we can’t do what we do with X and produce a post with a link to a website and custom wording? Obviously I’d rather have both, but if you’re saying it’s an either/or I agree it’s better to have the link to the certificate page that we use in the X post

@paulstroot this is in relation to my last comment where I talked about the wording for the social posts.

so the instagram one would look like this;

I've been thinking about the fact that often there are multiple recipients of the donations, and how to promote that by using the functionality we have. My thought is that each artwork can be tagged with various collections, so if the X post picked up the X handles of all tagged organizations that would achieve what I want. Same would apply for the suggested post it creates for instagram. Is that OK?

I realize that there are also some collections tagged which are our own internal ones (Home Page, View Artworks etc), but I'm assuming that as those don't have anything in the X & Instagram metafield, they'll just not be mentioned in the post?
