School website service training and support

SWS system status

This page details current known issues affecting the School Website Service platform, and any available workaround to follow whilst we endevour to investigate and resolve the issue.

Issue: When adding albums with more than 30 images - the browser may freeze.

When using the "automatically add a caption to all images" function of an album, the browser will freeze if more than 30 images are added or if you attempt to change the caption with images already present in the album.

Status: Current

Workaround:

  1. When creating a new album, select "automatically add a caption to all images" before adding any images.
  2. Add up to 30 images. Up to 50 may work but not reliably.
  3. Save the changes to the album.

Caution: We recommend against changing the caption after the images are added, as this can cause the browser to freeze.

Issue: When importing ICS files (ical) from certain external calendar providers, some events in the file are not imported.

In the ICS file the affected all-day events will have lowercase =date, while the working ones will have uppercase =DATE

Status: Current

Workaround:

  1. Download the ICS file to your computer.
  2. Open the file in a text editor such as Notepad.
  3. Do a case sensitive find and replace of =date with =DATE being sure to not include any extra spaces.
  4. Save the changes.
  5. Run the import again using the amended ICS file.

Issue: Video component when used inside the Accordion component (aka show/hide) the video component is not visible. This is caused by no default width and height being applied.

Status: Current, and partially resolved for newly added video components.

Workaround:

  • Edit the video component and apply height and width, typically 400px for height and 100% for width.
