Perhaps this option has been added to the admin dashboard in a subsequent release, because I came across it and updated our avatar.

Just leaving the path here in case others are interested: appearance, customize, logos, Default Profile Photo.

And here is a clearer picture of why we wanted to change it, but it’s not high priority, in case you are overly busy; we just want to follow up:

Chris says “It looks like the Openlab-Theme does not have a POT file. We would have to generate one to use Loco Translate. Does a POT file exist for the OpenLab theme? Is this something that the CBOX-OL team could check if we attempted to generate it?”

I’ll try changing the page slug and let you know how it goes.

I hope it’s okay to ask in one post about updating wording in a few different places. We appreciate your input, and hope this text can be updated. We hope to find out:
-How do we update the five texts below?
-e.g., are they hard-coded in a file?
-or, somewhere else not obvious?
-or, would we need to try updating the text through Po…[Read more]

And that’s also what we want to modify again now: We need to update the contact page link we put in there last year.

To update the default/empty avatar placeholder from the cbox logo to our own OL logo, is there another way besides swapping the multiple files in the cbox OL core plugin?

Thanks!

The email address you used to test invites on the City Tech OpenLab is not the one associated with my account, so what you did there was send an invite to join the OpenLab with that email. If you go to ‘Invite new members by email’ and use the email associated with my account, you will get the same error.

Okay, sorry abo…[Read more]

On the BMCC OL, embedded YT videos show very small in the OL Help pages.
Example: https://openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu/blog/help/how-to-write-a-basic-post-with-the-block-editor-on-an-openlab-wordpress-site-video-tutorial/

We tried adding code, which worked for a few weeks, but then the code breaks, and the video stops embedding completely,…[Read more]

Currently, users have a link to their portfolio dashboard from My Profile, but not from Portfolio Home. Superadmins do have this DB link from Port Home. See three BMCC OL screenshots attached.

Is this expected? Is it possible to show that link to regular users? At City Tech OL, I recall the link to the DB was present in both places (one…[Read more]

We’ve been told that there’s no way to import a site to one of the four network templates. We are making detailed edits to a template on a separate site, and we will now have to copy all of our template settings into the real thing.

Is it possible to request this feature: A workspace where we can work on templates until they’re rea…[Read more]

Akismet only catches my new topics as spam when I edit a new topic twice, and it does that every time, consistently. Then, it often blocks me when I try to post it anew (“you already said that.”)

There is no way to change this setting, to allow us to edit new topics more than once?

Hi all,

The first bug is that when our team edits…[Read more]

Is there some way around this?

Our developer is keenly interested in some documentation on the cbox group site templates (network admin side). He was envisioning them fitting in well somewhere in here: https://commonsinabox.org/group-settings

Thanks for your consideration!

When you create a topic and set the status to pending you can not edit the topic.</p>
It seems that if you make a status of Pending, the link to the Topic doesn’t include the title of the topic which is why it isn’t going to the right thing. For example thi…[Read more]

We have a long group name that is cut off. Is there anything that can be done to show these, or at least abbreviate them? Please see link and screenshot. Thanks!

Chris found a possible bug or broken link in my profile > my settings > email notifications > individual group email settings > go to my groups.

Around a year ago, the link in the words “my groups” used to take us to a fatal error message, and now, it takes us to a screen that says “User’s Profile ….. [user type]”.

We tried the mu- plugin but it did not work! The file types showed in list of allowed mime types, but we could not upload LaTeX files.
We then installed your recommended plugin (wp-add-mime-types) and that did work!

Just one question: You wrote “Besides adding the latex and ltx file extensions…”

The LaTeX files I have are .tex file extension. Are we supposed to add tex and ltx?

Thanks!

Thank you!

Here is a link to a post on that site in which a pdf is linked, because it refused to embed (I’m sorry I didn’t send this more specific link the first time); it’s at the very bottom:

ECE 110 Course Description & Academic Artifact

The BMCC team has a few questions about the links that are currently inside our group badges.

From the group/profile:

-The OER badge links right back to itself.

-The Open badge links to a “some link” url that goes to a “Page not found” error (from an example group): https://openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu/groups/bus104-introduction-to-busine&hellip;[Read more]

We have an OL site in which pdfs can be added to a page, but for some reason, they all link to the document instead of embedding.

Our pdf embedder is network activated.
