Commons In A Box

Descripción

Commons In A Box (CBOX) dramatically lowers the barrier to building community sites on WordPress. CBOX helps you to install BuddyPress along with a number of carefully selected and vetted BuddyPress plugins, so that you don’t have to worry about which plugins are best and which are compatible with each other.

Commons In A Box (CBOX) includes a choice of two packages that can be customized to meet the needs of your community:

CBOX Classic is designed for communities of all kinds. It is used by groups and organizations to create flexible social networks where members can collaborate on projects, publish research, and create repositories of knowledge.

CBOX OpenLab is specifically designed for teaching, learning, and collaboration. It allows faculty members, departments, and entire institutions to create commons spaces for open learning.

Both packages feature:
– Robust out-of-the-box functionality;
– An intuitive setup process that guides site administrators through installation and customization;
– Responsive design for easy use on many devices, including tablets and smartphones;
– Ensured compatibility with a core set of plugins – when it’s time to update, you simply update CBOX and we take care of the rest;
– Compatibility with many additional WordPress and BuddyPress plugins and themes.

Great for groups and associations. Very accomplished, well-designed suite that takes ownership of a range of familiar WordPress plugins and features and bundles them – ‘in a box’. May take time to get one’s head around the options as it seems to take over your WordPress. Afterwards you see it’s not so scary and its WP and BuddyPress underneath still, with all the control you would normally have. Recommend a try if you working with any kind of group or network and looking for an online hub. Also give it a little time to understand out how it works. Best to start on a clean installation – as recommended.

I’ve been using Wordpress since 2006, and was probably one of the first buddypress adopters, installing it when it first appeared, almost 10 years ago, always watching with enthusiasm every new development of such wonderful wp plugin. In all these years I have never seen a plugin so well developed and so capable of putting so much essential features together to give buddypress lovers so much comfort and easy administration. This plugin puts together almost everything that a great social network needs, including a good theme that is easy to manage and pleasing to the eyes of most users out there. Keep up the great work! This plugin is a must, and must get more attention of the community in the future… let’s spread the word!
