installing idea-box in collab

[davereinhart]

I've installed collab and idea-box according to the readme instructions. both are working but when i enable idea-box, the collab index page goes blank. The collab login page is still there, but the green toolbar is missing after enabling idea-box. is there some conflict between these two, or different instructions for installing idea-box within collab? Thanks,
Dave

My guess is that you created new templates and css as suggested in the IdeaBox readme, and those files overode the defaults used by collab.

If you add idea to the INSTALLED_APPS of collab, it should add IdeaBox to the green menu bar in collab, no template or css modifications required. Note that the look and feel may be a little rudimentary, but that's because the framework assumes you want to override the look and feel with your own.

Let me know if I'm going down the wrong path.

Also, make sure 'idea' comes AFTER 'core' in the INSTALLED_APPS list.

@geomapdev Did your issue get resolved?

I'm currently facing the same issue. It seems that removing the idea/templates/base.html is solving the home blank page. However, there is no new "IdeaBox" button/link in the green menu bar in collab.

EDIT: If it can help, the Idea button only appears when I go to BASE_URL/idea (not BASE_URL).
