The Group for Group Admins
A meta-group for all of the Commons’ group admins so that the CUNY Academic Commons team can share information and keep you updated about changes to the site (and especially the Group interface). This group will also provide a way for us to get feedback from you about features you’d like to see added and ways we can improve the Group functionality.

Good to know! I forgot about that setting. Anyway, we are going to globally change all the sites language to English (United States) so others don’t have this problem in next maintenance release.

Hi Scott,
I was in the general settings today and notice that the site language setting was “Eng_CAC” and clicked on it and changed it to English (United States). I don’t, however, recall changing the language setting but might accidentally done so without knowing it.
I have rechecked with WAVE and now there is no longer an error. So the…[Read more]

Hi Van – Thanks for reporting this. See https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/13978#change-58632
A fix will most likely be included in our next maintenance release – 2/23/2021.

Hi Van – see attached for an explanation. The HTML attribute “lang” is set to “en-CAC”. I think it should be just “en” for english. I think CAC might stand for CUNY Academic Commons – there might be some customization on our side. I will ask our Dev team and get back to you.

I used the WAVE tool to check my site’s accessibility and got this error
“X Language missing or invalid”
The top of my screen shows “en-CAC”
I don’t think I saw this error before, so I am not sure why it is popping up now. Thanks.

Hi Van – see https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/13946
Can you provide the url of a public OneDrive PPT that is not wrapped in proof point? Our Developer needs an example to create a custom embed handler.

Hi Scott,
I tried the second suggestions and was successful, but only if the file is no more than 10MB. It is quite nice and work across all browsers and devices.
When I first uploaded the file (12MB) I got a message that the size was too large. I clicked the learn more link which took me…[Read more]

Hi Van –
I think the Commons needs to write a custom embed handler for OneDrive to make things easier. I will put in a request for that and let you know when it will be available.
In the meantime, I have two suggestions.
- This is a long-shot. I see you are using Jetpack. In the past, when Chrome is not working and Firefox is, I’ve gone to the…

Hi John,
Thank you for the suggestion. I did something similar:
1. Using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, I exported the PDF as JPEG. It will create individual slides.
2. I went to my Academic Commons page and added the “Slideshow” block.
3. I selected all images (Ctrl +A) and dragged them into the block. The slides were uploaded and stored in…[Read more] -

Hi Scott
Thank you for letting me know about the iframes. I tried some of the other embedding methods, and will play around with the URL>
I did a method similar to John, but using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, and was fine with doing it this way as a solution. Thanks!

“How can I embed a Powerpoint presentation on Academic Commons?”
Hi Van:
I don’t entirely understand the context in which you are trying to display the PPT files, but for displaying them on an ordinary WordPress page, this will work.
Save the PPT as a pdf, then open the pdf in Photoshop and convert each pdf page to a JPG. JPGs can be embedded…[Read more]

Hi Van – For security reasons, the Commons does not allow iframes. Can you try to install the “Embed Anything” plugin and just use the sharepoint URL and see if that works?

Hi Colin,
It looks like even though I indicated I am CUNY staff, I was still shown questions for a teacher.
