I have downloaded and installed the Latest version of OA four times now, and it has crashed every time.

Part of the problem is the navbar module. It has dependencies that are not made clear and are not included in the instal.

I can now get oa working without crashing (after many, many wasted hours), but still get the following error message:

Notice: Undefined variable: classes in include() (line 22 of \profiles\openatrium\themes\radix\templates\navbar.tpl.php).
Notice: Undefined variable: attributes in include() (line 22 \profiles\openatrium\themes\radix\templates\navbar.tpl.php).

I have installed backbone and underscore modules and libraries, which have in various places been mentioned as requirements for navbar, but I still get the above message.

I've wasted enough days on this so will be disabling the navbar. Thought I would at least let others know.

If openatrium is meant to be usable 'out of the box' by novice users then including things like navbar in its current state is a big problem.

Maybe this is the place to mention open atrium is NOT meant to be usable 'out of the box' or by novice users. EVERY KM solution (or other types you use atrium for) requires customization to your case needs and context, even the most robust enterprise solutions do.
Plus, the current state of atrium is suitable for early site builder adapters and drupal developers. Taming it is not just a point and click thing, and it wont be for that matter. Generic solutions needs tailoring for each case.

Also, I cannot reproduce this problem in a fresh install.

Navbar is added by Panopoly, not Open Atrium 2, and is currently using the alpha3 version rather than the latest alpha10 version that has additional dependencies. I recommend that you post in either the Panopoly queue or the Radix theme queue, or the Navbar queue itself to get these issues resolved. These are not things for OA2 to fix.

As with any distribution, OA2 is a collection of modules and you should post problems related to those modules in their respective issue queues.

Thanks Mike for your response. I should let you know that I am loving OA now that I have learned not to update it ;-). It really is quite a genius distribution.

Tip for other novice users - ignore the updates warnings at least enough to allow the release code to bed in.

All the best,

Hazit

So this is now a duplicate?

Yeah, I'd say this is a duplicate of #2047685: navbar 1.0-alpha10 conflicts with older Radix used by OpenAtrium - that issue could probably use some updates to clearify what's going on there. I'll do that in a minute.
