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.
