I haven't been happy with the crappy width that this blog had, but I didn't want to widen the width of the header image and ruin the aspect ratio. Well, I decided to go ahead and do it anyway. If I hadn't told you that I had widened the pictures, you'd never know the difference. When...

If you've upgraded to SP2, you may have noticed that some previous issues have resurfaced. The patch that I wrote to allow the file storage location to relative to the application, and go outside of the application, no longer works as written due to changes to the CSContext object again. Since my...

Some one forwarded a link to the Community Server 2009: Final Thoughts on Role, Pricing and Adoption article to me today and I nearly fell out of my chair. Here is a snip from that post: Community Server Licensing (updated June, 2009) : Annual (CPU-based) One Time (CPU-based) Product Code Features 5K...

Back in June of 2008 I wrote CS2008: CFS: The deal breaker where I talk about why removing all BLOBs from the database was a HUGE mistake, and here is why: FILESTREAM Storage in SQL Server 2008 By removing BLOBs from the database you open up the problem of orphaned records, disconnected records, and...

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. TFS, ClearCase, CVS, etc), it won't work with...

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 that Telligent has not installed the latest service...

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, or it has been bypassed by what looks like test code...

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, we need to do a better job of making sure people...

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. The ideal situation stores all objects in the database...

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 CS related contract and I will also be working on...

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 that created ASP.NET and most of what it consists...

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 a part of the free version. However, Telligent does...

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 currently working on had me making a templated...
-
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 add a feature rather easily to the free version...

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 changes yourself to correct the issue until Telligent...

When saving an edited forum post, incorrect information is passed to addon modules which makes it impossible...

Leading zeros are no longer optional. To use this control, you will need to place the following register line at the top...

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, and its almost there. I plan on releasing it this...

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 1-2 weeks, I'll release the DLLs for the free...

UPDATE: CS2007: Event Calendar Released! and CS2007: Event Calendar Features The title says it all. Thanks to Reflector and Dan Bartels' Calendar addon, there will be 2 releases. The first being a CS 2007 version of the control that is backward compatable, and the second being a full fledged system...

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 don't quite work properly. This is mostly due...

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 lists, but it isn't. The following one line...

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 on the Site link. It is also quite a few things...

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. To do this you can either install Community Server...
