CS2007: BUG & FIX: BBCodes and Emoticons
This bug is a carry over from CS 2.x which improperly handles BBCodes and Emoticons. You can see this on the communityserver.org site. Every so often you will see a post with smilies that seem out of place, or you may be trying to use BBCodes and they...
CS2007: BUG & FIX: Aggregate Post Excerpt Size
There appears to be a bug with Control Panel / Administration / Blogs / Default Presentation / Aggregate Post Excerpt Size . While you can set this value, it does not appear that it is actually being used. It should limit the size of excerpts in aggregate...
CS2007: My Blogs
People who know a lot about Community Server, know that if you want to navigate to your blog you need to go to Blogs / Blogs on this Site / <your blog> . The problem is that most people either don't see or don't think about using the Blogs...
CS2007: Add BBCode support to Blogs
Back in 2006 I noticed that BBCodes weren't supported in blogs, so I created the post New Functionality: BBCodes in Blogs to correct this very serious oversight. The same issue exists in CS 2007, so its time to rectify this egregious shortcoming....

There appears to be a bug in the method CommunityServer.Components.Globals.GetSkinPath() . If CS is running at the root of the Web Site spaces in the skin filepath name are converted to a + (plus), but if CS is running in a Virtual Directory they are...
CS2007: Inbox notification feature
Hey All, I'm just getting started with CS 2007, so I thought I'd pick something rather simple. Even though it is possible to implement this mod without making any changes to the SDK, there is a bug that the last change corrects and does require...
Community Server 2007 Released!
Well, Telligent kept it promise and released Community Server 2007 today, but not only did they release the fully compiled version they also released the SDK at the exact same time! It looks like I'm going to have a busy night upgrading my source...
Community Server Addons v1.1 for .NET 2.0 is now available
I was asked to turn my BBCode module for blogs into an addon, so I added it to my existing CreateUser addon. The instructions are included in the download section and the Readme file in the zip. If you have any questions or issues, let me know. Community...
