CUNY Academic Commons

It's possible that this is due to some incompatible markup in the text you're trying to save. See #3275, #3814.

A couple questions and things to try:

1. When attempting to modify your Publications, open your browser console. Do any JavaScript errors appear there, especially when clicking "OK" to exit "edit mode"?
2. Are you writing the Publications section in the browser, or are you pasting it in from another application? If so, which application? What happens when you first paste it into a plaintext editor, and then reapply formatting in the browser?
3. Can you share the full content you're trying to use? Ideally, this would be in the original format you're using (say, .docx, if that's what you're starting with).

We'll move this back into a milestone when we track down the issue more clearly.

Hi Boone,

Sorry it took me so long to get to this. I am not writing directly into the box but I am pasting. Did not see any javascript errors in the console when saving.

• copied text from my webpage - http://mkgold.net/research/
• pasted it into TextWrangler
• pasted it into the editing box on the Commons
• hit OK
• saved the profile

The result is a mishmash of text that doesn't recognize formatting/spacing

I've attached a text file with the info I'm trying to paste in. Thanks for your help with this.

Thanks for the detailed steps to reproduce, Matt. Your problem is due to br tags being stripped, which in turn is caused by a recent change to the way that BuddyPress sanitizes xprofile fields. Fixed in https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac-advanced-profiles/commit/990544e2bbe9d41d75217558d198fd85baa43294.

This is not exactly the problem the ticket was originally meant to address, but given that you're not having that problem anymore, I think we can mark this ticket as resolved.

Sorry -- forgot to attached a screenshot
