After reading Breaking Themes in 2008.5 upgrade by Chris Shawn, I had an epiphany when I started to think about how I had setup the CS SDK in my TFS store. You will be able to do this with any of the major commercial source control applications (i.e....
From a user POV, CS2008.5 is just a bunch of bug fixes with the addition of a new application type, Wikis. But, this is a major step for developers. Here is a cursory list of the changes: The SDK has been converted to Visual Studio 2008, but it appears...
It's been a while since I last posted anything, so I now would be a good time give everyone a status update on what it happening with the calendar control as well other other add-ons that I have planned. The last time that I worked on the control...
Hey All, I've been running into some rather significant issues with CS2008 since I started the process of updating all the code that I had written for CS2007 and prior, to work with CS2008. A lot of code is either just missing from the code base,...
Last night I sent Rob Howard an email about some concerns that I had with Community Server, one of them being the .NET Community Program. As for this concern, here is his response: "The “.NET Community Program” absolutely still exists. I’m sorry...
When I first read about CFS a number of months ago and learned that objects are no longer going to be stored in the database, I thought, "What are these guys thinking." I knew that there were going to be problems, and sure enough, there are...
Hey Everyone, It's been quite a while since I've had much news about CS as I've been working on other projects, but that should be changing for at least the next few months, which is part of the good news. I'm going to be working on a...
Anyone who has looked at the SqlDataProvider project in the SDK has probably asked themselves, "What were they smoking when they designed this?" I don't know if Rob Howard is the creator of this technology, but he is one of the major influences...
Community Server 2008 is a major upgrade and change in how Telligent is doing business. The audience for Community Server is changing slightly as it really is no longer a good fit for very small communities, especially if you need features that are not...
Hey All, The final release of Community Server 2008 is slowly aproaching, which means rebuilds / reworks of existing addons. I will be reworking the Calendar Control slightly to make it work better and be a little more flexable. The project that I'm...
Ok, I just created the forum thread, What features would you like to see in the Event Calendar control? I'd like everyone to chime in here. Most of the requests will most likely only be possible in the commercial version of the control, but if I can...
UPDATE 06/12/2007: Telligent has released SP2 for CS 2007 which contains this fix. There is a bug in CS 2007 where many of the properties of a forum post are not set prior to executing the post events. If you are using the SDK, you can make the following...

UPDATE: CS2007: Event Calendar Released! and CS2007: Event Calendar Features Since Dan Bartels released a CS 2007 version of his control yesteday, I decided to post a status update. I've been working hard to get the new Chameleon Control finished...
UPDATE: CS2007: Event Calendar Released! and CS2007: Event Calendar Features Well, as of just a few minutes ago, I finally got the control working. I still need to do some testing and cleanup, but I have enabled it for use on all of my sites. In about...

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...
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...
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...
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....
Well, I wrote the following snipit to help out a friend and thought that I may as well post it here too. This snipit uses a few of the features of Chameleon to create a table of all the users in your database. Unmoderated users will be displayed with...
This new feature requires changes to the SDK and allows you to override the protected AutomatedVisible property of any control that derives from the CommunityServer.Controls.WrappedContentBase class. The AutomatedVisible property is controlled internally...
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...
