Bug fixed in apostrophe-sandbox; also, notes on what to remove if you fork this project

Hi folks,

We fixed a bug in the apostrophe-sandbox project today. It was in logic meant to prevent users from editing the “admin” account, specifically in our public sandbox demo, but it inadvertently blocked all edits of existing users in the demo.

However there’s a bigger point you should be aware of: our apostrophe-sandbox is not really the best starting point for your project. Please check out the creating your first project tutorial, which covers how to use the apostrophe command line to fork the apostrophe-boilerplate project, which is much more stripped down.

In particular, if you start with our sandbox be aware you will want to:

  • Remove our project-level override of the apostrophe-users module altogether. It’s blocking you from editing the “admin” account.

  • Remove the “demo-autologin” project level module altogether. That’s just to skip folks past login in a public demo so they don’t get bored and wander off before seeing any cool buttons. (:

  • Remove the CSS and JS that powers the autologin experience.

Moral of the story… fork the apostrophe-boilerplate instead.

Enjoy!
