Designer Content not appearing in Stacks & Blocks

Permalink Browser Info Environment
I'm using a newly downloaded Concrete — version 5.6.0.2, and a newly downloaded designer_content package — 3.1.1.

I've unzipped the design_content directory into my packages directory, but am not seeing Designer Content appear in my Stacks & Blocks area in the Dashboard. Did I do something wrong? I tried clearing my Concrete cache and restarting my web server...

Did you install the addon via the dashboard "Install" (aka "Add Functionality") page?

No, I have to admit to being a bit unfamiliar with the 5.5+ landscape, this is my first post-5.4.x install — I am such a doofus! I thought that Install link was an external link to Concrete's site.

Thank you for your patience. All installed now. :)

Please don't think of yourself as a doofus. While I think the upgraded 5.5 interface is an improvement in the long run, it has some glaring usability issues that are still being worked out, and is poorly documented to boot.

All I can say is that once you get the hang of the new dashboard, I think it is more efficient to work with. It also is much easier to extend with addons and future functionality than the last dashboard interface was. Hopefully they don't change it again for another 5 years :)

Yes, it is definitely taking some getting used to! That said, it seems TONS faster than 5.4.x, which is a relief. And, while the interface has a steeper learning curve, I can see that it will be more efficient once I'm used to it.

Thanks again for a great add-on!
