Page Comparison

Relative links are links that don’t require the full URL because they link to a page on the same domain (eg. www.pdx.edu) as the source page. Fully external links require the full URL.

In your site, there are three kinds of relative links you can make. These instructions are not all-encompassing, but you can use them as a starting point:

Links internal to your site (for CTA and Link paragraph blocks)

1. In the URL field, begin typing the page title.

2. Select the correct page title from the list of options that appears.

   • Only published pages will show up in the list of options.

Links external to your site but internal to www.pdx.edu (for CTA and Link paragraph blocks)

1. Enter the URL into the URL field.

2. Replace http://www.pdx.edu/ with /../

   • Example: /../student-life/campus-life

Relative links in Text paragraphs

1. In the link popup, select "Other" as the protocol

2. In the URL, replace the https://www.pdx.edu/ with /../.

   • Example: /../admissions/how-to-apply

Caption Your Own Multimedia Content

Content developers may generate captions and transcripts themselves using video hosting sites like Youtube and Media Space. Both of these services offer machine-generated captions and accompanying editing tools. Please note that machine captions are not fully accessible for people with disabilities and must be edited for accuracy. Follow these steps to caption your own Multimedia content in YouTube or Media Space:

• Generate automated captioning in YouTube

   and edit captions in YouTube for accuracy.

• Generate machine captioning in Media Space

   and edit captions in Media Space for accuracy.

Request Professional Captioning and Transcription

Affordable professional captioning and transcription services are currently available through OIT at a cost of $1 per video minute. Follow these steps to request paid, professional captioning and transcription:

1. Upload your multimedia content to Media Space.

2. Submit a Caption Request for pdx.edu Multimedia.

3. Allow 5-7 business days for your request to process.

Currently, you cannot embed Media Space videos on pdx.edu, only YouTube videos. You can, however, download the captions from Media Space and upload them to YouTube. You would then embed the captioned YouTube video and upload the associated Media Space transcript to pdx.edu.

To Download Captions:

1. Log in to PSU Media Space to access your video.

2. Select the Actions button.

3. In the resulting Actions menu, select Edit.

4. In the resulting Edit view, select the Captions tab.

5. In the Captions tab, select Download to access the SRT file.

6. Upload your original video to YouTube.

7. Add the SRT file to your YouTube video.

   • In the provided link, select “Upload a file.”

To Download Transcripts:

1. Log in to PSU Media Space to access your video.

2. In the “Attachments tab,” download the .txt file.

3. After embedding your captioned YouTube video, upload your transcript to pdx.edu and include a link immediately below the video.

Refer to pdx.edu/accessibility for an example.

You can embed a Google Calendar using an iframe. However, there are a few added steps you need to take, to ensure the calendar is accessible:

1. On a computer, open Google Calendar. You can only get the code to embed in your website from a computer, not the Google Calendar app.

2. In the top right, select the Settings menu (it looks like a gear) and then Settings.

3. On the left side of the screen, select the name of the calendar you want to embed.

4. Select "Integrate Calendar" in the menu that expands under the calendar name you selected.

5. Copy the "Public URL to this calendar" section URL. For example, the Public URL to my 1:1 help calendar is: 
   https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=pdx.edu_p6hjlahv1gsmk0e8g6oereldh4%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America%2FLos_Angeles

6. Open some kind of text editor and paste the URL in it. This is just for temporary purposes so we can edit this URL.

7. Replace everything before src= in the URL with: 
   https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?showTitle=0&showNav=0&showDate=0&showPrint=0&showCalendars=0&showTz=0&mode=agenda&height=600&wkst=1&bgcolor=%23FFFFFF&  

   1. Example: the new URL for my 1:1 calendar is:
      https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?showTitle=0&showNav=0&showDate=0&showPrint=0&showCalendars=0&showTz=0&mode=agenda&height=600&wkst=1&bgcolor=%23FFFFFF& src=pdx.edu_p6hjlahv1gsmk0e8g6oereldh4%http://40group.calendar.google.com &ctz=America%2FLos_Angeles

8. Copy the new URL, this will be used for the iframe.

A few notes:

• When creating the iframe, set the width to 100% and the height to 600px.

• Calendars with appointment slots cannot be embedded; they only display the scheduled appointments, not the available times to book. For appointment calendars, use a call to action to link to the appointment calendar.
