Most communities enable members to add images and videos to their content. Rich media makes content more visually striking and drives member interest and engagement. Note: Image and video moderation is done in conjunction with content moderation so that inappropriate content is not published to your live site.Learn more about content moderation. Copying content from a Google Doc to Khoros Communities is unaffected by the document's ownership since these are separate applications. However, for images in the content, the community first stores them in its storage, requiring access to the original resource. If the Google Doc is not publicly accessible (i.e., permissions are not set to "Anyone with the link"), the image links will be blocked for users in the community. While writing content, members can add images and videos by: Clicking the Insert Media button in the Content Editor toolbar Dragging and dropping images or videos directly into the Content Editor Copying and pasting images and videos via the clipboard Inline image editing When writing or editing content with embedded images, you perform several quick editing actions. While editing your content, you can click an image to access the sizing controls. Click the small, medium, or large options to choose the image size that best fits your space. Note: You can use the Content Editor toolbar to indent or align the image within the column. Tip: Center-align images in the column to prevent text from wrapping around the image. You can also add a caption for your image, which displays below the image. Finally, you can click the person icon to add Alternative text that describes the image for the visually impaired. Image Viewer When viewing content in a piece of content, you can click any image to view it in the image preview pane. Use the left and right arrows to scroll through any other images in the post. Click the Download option in the top-right corner of the viewer to download a local copy of the image. Banner images for blogs Aurora communities enable you to add banner images to blog posts. You can create and upload your own image or find an image in an online library, powered by Unsplash. Learn more about creating a blog post.

Hello fellow devs - I'm very new to GitHub, so I am unsure if this is something I've set up wrong, or if something isn't working in Aurora. I have the SDK installed, and the orange box at the bottom of the screen indicates the SDK previewer is running (it never goes away, even when I haven't started anything in the terminal yet, as a matter of fact). I make the npm run start command in terminal, and I can see an orange outline on a widget I've made changes to - but the changes don't actually reflect in the browser, even upon refresh. Clearly it knows something is different because the outline is there. But the change (like adding a new word to a block of text) isn't there. Is there a trick to getting the preview plugin to work? I've exited out of it from terminal now, and the outline won't go away anymore, even after going in and making the change to the widget directly, saving, and resyncing everything from the stage-main branch. What should my order-of-operations be if I want to work in VS code and see my changes in the previewer of the browser? I am convinced this is a me problem and not an Aurora problem. :( What I did, in order: Merged my working branch with stage-main Opened the HTML for a custom widget on my working branch Opened terminal and ran npm run start Added text to the custom widget Refreshed the page in browser Orange outline on the widget shows, but not the new text. Double checked I didn't accidentally break the HTML; I did not Refreshed again, still nothing. Internal frustration Exited npm with Ctrl+C in terminal Refreshed page again, orange box still there Copied the updated HTML from VS Code, edited widget in browser, pasted, saved - change is exactly what I expected More internal frustration Decided to ask for help here Thank you in advance to anyone who can help!49Views1like5CommentsRequest to create new APIs
Our company is seeking to automate onboard/update users for Khoros Care. We would like to use APIs to add/edit/delete users and add/edit/delete permissions. Two questions, first, does Khoros Care have such APIs? Second, if not, is it possible to create new APIs to serve stated purposes? Costs aside, first I just need to understand if this is a possibility.Solved24Views0likes1Comment2024 Khoros Holiday Production Freeze
To help with ensuring that we provide the best service possible with the appropriate resources, Khoros has annual holiday freezes for our infrastructure on the Khoros platform. To limit changes that may cause business-impacting problems during Khoros company holidays, we have the following dates scheduled for the freeze. 2024 Freeze Schedule November Freeze:Monday 11/25/2024 12:01am PT – Monday 12/2/2024 11:59pm PT Winter Holidays Freeze: Monday 12/16/2024 12:01am PT – Wednesday 1/1/2025 11:59pm PT What is the purpose of these events? The main purpose of this exercise is to limit any changes that can cause business-impacting problems while we’re short-staffed during company holidays. Outages and Severity 1 Issues This does not impact our ability to manage outages or other severity 1 level issues. What environments does a "freeze" affect? Our infrastructure "freezes" are company wide and affect all Khoros products and applications internally, though overall impact for each product will vary. During these timeframes, no Production level changes (e.g.: infrastructure, manual plugin deployments, new launches, upgrades, etc.) will be approved or allowed to be executed.112Views0likes3CommentsAurora: Manage Content Dashboard

We had an LiQL query we were using for years to surface community posts on our help center, and following the move to Aurora we need to update this to GraphQL. However, the developers on that team would prefer SQL/LiQL as their system is not set up for GraphQL. Is it possible to still use LiQL or SQL queries while on Aurora?93Views1like10CommentsAbout Aurora Blogs
A blog is basically an online journal or diary, often with references or links to other sites. Blog posts drive website traffic, promote your products and services, and also help you build trust with your customers and prospects. They also boost your social-media presence. Blog posts are usually written by a single author, and other community members add on with comments. Blog comments are associated with posts in the same way that replies are associated with messages in a forum. Each Blog has a front page that lists the most recent posts. From any Blog page, members with appropriate permissions can: Publish blog posts Edit drafts or edit previously published blog posts View the revision history of published blog posts Follow or unfollow a blog or content within the blog Those with admin permissions have additional tasks they can perform related to the following: Blogs Create a Blog board Edit Blog board settings Blog Posts Delete a post Move a post Block edits on a post Comments and Replies Comments and replies on posts About threaded replies and comments Block or allow comments and replies Move a comment or reply Content Management Content Management Dashboard Overview of Content Workflow Widgets Recent Content Top Content Places Info288Views0likes2Comments
