I followed the directions on commonsinabox.org (<a class="external" href="http://commonsinabox.org/documentation/installation">http://commonsinabox.org/documentation/installation</a>) and they don't quite match up with the steps that I had to take. For instance, after I clicked 'Activate Plugin' I was taken back to the Plugin page and had to click on 'Commons in a Box' in the left menu to get to the appropriate page for the next steps.</p>
<p>Another strange thing I noticed was that clicking on 'Buddypress' in the left menu brings me to the page in the attached screenshot. The text "You're seeing this page because you are running a legacy BuddyPress plugin which has not been updated." made me think I should have an update to make, but I'm not seeing one.</p>
<p>I'll have to wait for an update to go through the update procedures, but I wanted to mention this in the meantime. I'd be happy to take a crack at updating the Installation Guide if needed.</p> CUNY Academic Commons - Design/UX #4027: Usability review of CBOX update procedureshttps://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/4027?journal_id=192862015-05-11T22:36:51ZMatt Goldmattgold@gmail.com
<ul></ul><p>Thank you, Samantha. We should have you collaborate with Scott to update the documentation. But we should also think about whether the installation steps themselves seem intuitive. Many thanks for testing.</p>
