[ARCHIVED] Confusing information about course template

[fjaster]

When I attempt to download the course template, some of the  information seems to be in Latin or some nonsense language, not English.  Is this deliberate?

Hello  @fjaster ‌ welcome to the Canvas community!  This is a community of fellow Canvas users and is not unique to your institution so we would not have any idea what the "course template" you are referring to is.  Please reach out to someone at you institution.  Good Luck!

Thanks, Nick. Onward through the fog.

 @fjaster  Frank, I woke up 3am this morning with a hopefully brainstorm (the crazy things that come to mind when you are asleep) does the "latin" look like this?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

If so, this is Lorem Ipsum text which is fake text used for place holders by designers to show what something will look like once real text is put there.  There is a website where you can go to generate it and it does not mean anything. So if you are seeing this, it is meant to be replaced by you with something real.

Hope this helps!

Hey Nick,

Whether or not this turns out to be the correct solution, this was an inspired answer—and the epiphanies that emerge at 3 am are the best ones!

Thanks for being so helpful to your fellow community members, especially in these difficult times. Please check your direct messages for a small token of our appreciation. :0)

Thanks again for all that you do and keep up the good work!

Sincerely,

Canvas Community Team

That's it, Nick. Place holder, hmmm? What my first wife used me for while she waited for the right one to come along.

Your answer makes perfect sense now.

Thanks, again.

Good to hear, well the Canvas part, not sure I can help on the wife part although maybe it gave you an opportunity to upgrade to wife version 2.0
