Description

Open Clipart is misnamed "Open Clip Art Library"

Expectation

Engine name should be "Open Clipart" to match https://openclipart.org/share

Problem

The current footer is really bad visually and does not meet the current standards of other UI/UX trend

Description

This feature will make the Footer more pleasing to look at and more accessible

Additional context

For me personally as a Frontend Developer the current Footer is way below standard with the ever evolving world of UI/UX
The overall goal for the new footer is to put it in alignment with the current universal footer found on newer Creative Commons sites. See an example here: https://opensource.creativecommons.org/

2. click Google Images button
3. Resulting query:

   https://www.google.com/search?site=imghp&tbm=isch&q=cat&tbs=sur:fmc

  https://www.google.com/search?site=imghp&tbm=isch&q=cat&tbs=sur:fmc%2Cil:cl
  

Screenshots

Current

Limited to "Creative Commons licenses"

Problem

The current header component of the legacy site does not match the visuals of the other cc web entities. The line and character spacing of the text are also squeezed thus making it difficult to read the text. Lastly, the transition effect in the 'search using' area does not create much of a contrast between the before and after.

Description

Adding this feature will ensure that the header components of the legacy site matches the visuals of the rest of the creative commons web entities. This feature will also improve readability by increasing line spacing and character spacing. The feature will also add more contrast to the transition during the hover effect in the components within the 'search using area'

Currently, the header only has the creative commons logo

Additional Context

I intend to use the header on the site linked below as a template for the information to add to the header such as the blog, contact, information, social media handles, and support.
https://creativecommons.org/use-remix/

Alternatives

Adding links to the blog, contribute, community, and work programs pages; as is in the other creative commons page. https://opensource.creativecommons.org/

Description

There are a few a11y concerns with the approach taken by the actual buttons for each search engine:

The buttons are not accessible via keyboard, because they use labeled divs instead of actual input controls. An <input type="radio"> group might be an elegant solution that allows the buttons to be keyboard navigable and to update the value of the currently-selected search engine without any custom javascript.

Reproduction

Problem

A small seperate Guide should be there for new contributors and for everyone to setup the CC search locally in their machine , which would help to experiment or reproduce the bug locally

Problem

Description

openverse should be added to supported search engines

Additional context

SoundCloud search does not open a new tab/window

Reproduction

1. type search term in search field
2. click SoundCloud button

Expectation

Searches should always open in a new tab/window to allow multiple engines to be used with the same search term

The live server has a "cc-wp" directory originally pulled in from subversion with a bunch of php, js, css. search uses this for the theme.

It should be added to this repository so it can be properly version controlled.

Description

After running the project, there is an error in the console Uncaught TypeError: j.handler.apply is not a function. This error does not seem to affect the platform so far but it needs to be fixed.

Upon investigation, the error comes from script.js file on line 114 where we are displaying a carousel. On the instance where the carousel is not displayed, this causes the error in the console.

Reproduction

1. Run the project locally
2. Inspect the home page
3. Go to the console tab
4. See error.

Expectation

The platform should run without any JS error in the console.

Screenshots

Environment

• Browser: (Chrome, Safari; Firefox)

Additional context

On the current version of the platform, the carousel is not displayed but the component is found in the codebase. This error might not be experienced by others who have the carousel displayed but it would be good to have a solution which would not show an error in both cases.

Resolution

• I would be interested in resolving this bug.

Here's a message someone wrote to info@ to give some feedback to search.

==============
Hi,

Some feedback:

• good concept
• helpful way to search on multiple sources, if it actually works
• bug: if you search for something, and it doesn't find anything, you can just enter in that results page a new query, and it'll search with the same parameters. That is good. However, if it does find something, you can still enter something - but no matter what you enter, it returns you to the empty search form. Seems unintended behavior.
• Add a link in the request for feedback :)
• Wikimedia Commons is missing - a big repository that would make a lot of sense to tap into... good for me because I am looking for images to add to Wikimedia Commons, but perhaps less perfect for externals :)
• The page breaks when privacy badger is active. That is usually a bad sign for the amount of data you're trying to collect.

Thanks, and keep up the good work,

It may be appropriate to rename the repo to legacy-search for clarity.

from legacy repo at https://search.creativecommons.org. neither are up to date.

remove if trivial to do so. if not, it can wait for Q2 when we are planning to encase legacy cc search in the beta UX.

from a user who wrote to info@:

Browser: Google Chrome
Google Chrome è aggiornato
Versione 61.0.3163.59 (Build ufficiale) beta (a 64 bit)

two screenshots available if necessary, just ask mari for them.

Problem

CC Search doesn't have any descriptive content that tells the user what the site is about.

Description

This feature will add more context to the website. So that when a user taps in, they can read a brief description of what the site is about. see. This will make it align with the UI of (https://opensource.creativecommons.org/)

Alternatives

Additional context

Below is a screenshot of a similar feature in (https://opensource.creativecommons.org/)

Implementation

• I would be interested in implementing this feature.

Problem

More search engines are always welcome in a project like this, to improve the number of relevant options to users.

Description

While we're in the process of renaming it to 'External Sources', since the meaning of 'meta search' is a bit confusing for folks (not to mention, using the word 'meta' in a project with '-verse' in its name seems ill-advised), a feature similar to this search engine is still quite popular in Openverse.

Our list of sources might be a good reference for some to include in this meta search. We also have the guidelines for how to format their URLs:

Problem

The current card and search component is not attractive visually and does not meet the standard of design.

Description

This feature will make the section more attractive and open to all.

Alternatives

Additional context

As a Frontend developer, the section does not meet a good standard and needs to be worked on. The goal is to make an attractive and good looking search section that will be open to all.

Problem

The site responsiveness is already made available via my check on the code base (source code), but from my observation it isn't at least 100% Responsive, i checked this using a screen size starting from 300px X 600px, (widthpx X heightpx), then went down to 255px X 600px and noticed that the page body went out of device width.

Description

An improvement is highly required, reason is because, users over the world have various sizes of device, users with low screen size would have a limited visual on the page content.

Alternatives

Working efficiently on the code base to improve the page responsiveness would be a fine solution, after this process, the page in question would take the actual width and height of whatever size of device it is being accessed with, in a well and organized form

Additional context

It is seen that the current responsiveness on the page isn't on a rating of 100% and needs urgent improvements so as to satisfy users of all kinds. A very clear example is the github page below, i reduced the screensize to 300px X 600px and the page could comfortably contain my current screensize. To check this, use google inspect feature.

Reproduction

1. type search term in search field

Additional context

• Last Wayback Machine crawl was in 2011: https://web.archive.org/web/2011*/https://www.spinexpress.com/

Problem

Ran the site through an accessibility checker, and there seem to be some contrast issues. Especially with the white text over the greeny-background. The contrast ratio currently stands at 3.14.

Description

People with low contrast sensitivity will have issues reading the white text on the green background. The green shade could be altered and made a little darker.

Adding a background color like #28480F will take the contrast up to 10.38.

Alternatives

A shade which is only slightly greener than the current one could also work.

• I would be interested in implementing this feature.

Problem

The current input component is not attractive visually and also does not meet the standard of design.

Description

This feature will make the section more attractive and open to all

Problem

Countries on the CC Rights Back Resource Page that their laws do not affect the rights of the author or creator have no specific action on the map even when being clicked.

Description

We can change this by adding the dbclick feature in JS which shows the message to the users that the country they are currently in does not affect their rights as the author or creator on their creative works. This way the user does not get confused when checking for their country.

Implementation

• I would be interested in implementing this feature.

Problem

Website content should be legible to increase readability in the user experience. This is an important aspect that also contributes to users staying or leaving the website.

I checked the website, and the first thing that caught my attention was the font size which was too small. This can prevent users with/without eye problems to read the content of the website.

Description

This is an image with the current font size which I think is not ideal.

My suggestion is to increase the font size to 14px or 16px for paragraphs and for titles it can be 16px with font-weight of 500.

Alternatives

I also believe that using Arial or Roboto font family can improve the user experience.

Implementation

The implementation is quite simple:

• the paragraph font size can be increased to 14px.
• the title can be increased to 16px with a font weight of 500.

• I would be interested in implementing this feature.

@kgodey can you please assign @hugosolar or relevant person?

the repo name we should be collecting the data in is search.cc.org in GA and it hasn't been working since flip (30 April)

Description

The project known as CC Search, CC Meta Search, Old Search, and Legacy CC Search needs all text occurrences to be changed to the new title: CC Search Portal.

Additionally, the wording oldsearch.creativecommons.org in the footer, needs to be changed to CC Search Portal

Resolution

• I would be interested in resolving this bug.

Problem

code base doesn't make use of cc global components elements such as footer, header and explorer which will simplify project code base

Description

CC global components provides already customized elements which could be used all over any cc site hence reducing lines of code and making page easily debug-able

Alternatives

could allow site to use alternative components which will make code base more stressful to debug

Additional context

css files for the above could be cleared and modified to use that of cc global components

Pixabay images are no longer CC0 nor public domain and the engine should be removed

Reproduction

Pixabay License Change - No Longer a CC0 License | SugarFire:

Around the beginning of January 2019 Pixabay changed the type of license they use to make their content available.

Before the change Pixabay used the Creative Commons license “CC0” which dedicates works to the public domain.

Expectation

Search should be limited to CC licensed or public domain content.

Problem

As a beginner and new contributor to the Creative Commons Community, I made some mistakes while trying to install docker and clone the repo.
After reading through the Readme.md, I took the first step under 'Docker compose setup' in the Readme.md and clicked on the link to install Docker. And then I had several failed attempts in starting up Docker.

After successfully setting up Docker, I made a mistake by attempting to clone the repo in Docker, because I did not properly understand the second instruction. Cloning the repo in Docker took so many hours and my PC even lagged behind for a bit.

Description

In this context, I suggest we add more descriptive guidelines in the Readme.md, by adding a few sides notes that state the main tools needed for the project and their uses.
For instance; stating that Docker is just for background work and the code editor/IDE is where the cloning and main work should be done.
This way, new contributors who are most likely beginners will be able to understand the steps and process better and avoid making mistakes.

Implementation

• I would be interested and happy to implement this feature.
  -Under the 'Setting Up the Project' section, it will be nice to include:
  The three main tools you'll need on most projects here are:

Docker App (Docker does some heavy lifting, but it's mostly for background use)
A code editor/IDE (VS Code, Sublime, Nova, etc.)(This is where the bulk of the work, like cloning your repo, and making your code changes, will be done)
A command-line/terminal client (Terminal, iTerm2, etc.) (if your IDE doesn't have one)
If you have all three of these tools, then you can proceed to the next steps below

Under Docker Setup, I feel like a more detailed step by step instructions should be added.

This PR #71 by me fixes this issue

Description

buttons typed as btutons instead of buttons in search.js file line 15.

Implementation

• I would be interested in implementing this feature.

I want redesign the existing "creativecommons" components into the current standard. I discovered it's necessary to set appealing background color , and use CSS custom property to remove redundency. Also, animate some buttons.

I'm doing that to provide clean design and responsiveness also the user to enjoy exploring the "creativecommon" website
