v24 installation
Hello, I have pull the commit from github for v24 and copied over to my dev instance, updated database. Things are working fine, but when I tried to access some of the new features (such as "school admin" -> "People" -> "Admissions Settings", it gives me the standard error message: "Oh, NO! Something has gone wrong: The Gibbons have escaped". Do I need to run a fresh installation of v24 or did I miss some additional changed required for the update?

The caveat is that, it's not a direct replacement for things like Google and Microsoft Forms and the like, as those are always going to be more feature rich and flexible (they're made by multi-billion-dollar companies after all). One also wouldn't want to litter the system with single-use forms and quizzes. However, where they will really be handy is anywhere that you're collecting school data that is useful to have in Gibbon. The use cases I could see here are splitting application forms up into smaller steps, adding supplemental forms, creating forms to gather new data when you create a new custom field, collecting re-enrolments near the end of the year, etc.
One step at a time though. We're happy to have gotten the first part into v24 and that people are testing it out. Feel free to share any feedback or questions.
Congrats for all that you guys have accomplished with Gibbon. Keep up the good work.
I have been experimenting with the form builder, but I can't seem to find a way to "publish the form" for public completion i.e. I can't find or generate a link that works without the person being logged in, like the application form. What am I missing?
Thanks a million for your help...
