You may have noticed that there is a new beta version of the content library application available in the new application drop down list on your site. This new version of the content library has a number of major enhancements and changes to the old version including the ability to drag and drop files and folders to a new location in the tree view, the ability to have administrators approve new items posted by members, and the ability to search within items posted in the library.
Over the next couple of weeks we will be making the new beta version of the content library application live and upgrading all existing content libraries to the new version. Since the content library is a complex and widely used application, we will be giving community administrators the chance to inspect the upgraded versions of the content libraries in their sites before the upgrade is run on the live sites. This will allow you to make sure that the upgrade process worked correctly for your applications and notify us of any issues before the upgrade is run on your live site.
To do this, all of the data from the live Orbius sites was copied to our beta testing environment as of 2:00 am EST last night, and the content library application upgrade process was run on that copy of the data. This will allow you to view an exact copy of your site on our beta environment and compare the upgraded content libraries with the old ones on your live site. The following are instructions for accessing your site on the Orbius beta testing environment:
- If the web address of your site is something.orbius.com you can access your site by going to something.orbiusbeta.com.
- If you have mapped a domain name to your site so the web address is like www.something.com you can access your site by replacing the periods with dashes and adding .orbiusbeta.com to the end. So for example, www.something.com would become www-something-com.orbiusbeta.com.
- Before you can access your site on the beta environment you will be prompted for an authorization code. Enter Password1 as the authorization code (be sure to use a capital P).
- Once you are in you should see an exact copy of your live site as of 2:00 am EST on April 6th.
- You can log in with the same username and password as you would on your live site.
So please compare the upgraded content libraries in your community on the beta testing environment with the existing ones on your live site and send an email to support@orbius.com if you see any problems. If we do not hear from you by 5:00 pm EST on Monday, April 12th we will assume that you do not have any issues with the upgrade process and the content library applications on your live site will be upgraded shortly thereafter.
