Hacking Community Server: Event Calendars Part 1

This is the first of a five-part series on implementing an event calendar in Community Server 2007. Our first step today will be to implement dynamic URLs, and the page stubs to go with them. Your first instinct might be to dive right in to the SiteUrls.config file, and start adding content. While you...

Community Server Time Zones

I have noticed recently that when I post a new item, the post times are 3 hours behind. I finally decided to check this out, and browsed to Control Panel >> Administration >> Settings >> Date / Time Settings. When I had gone through the settings after upgrading the server, I saw this...

Hacking Community Server: Comments on the Home Page

Tonight I got a comment on my blog, and noticed that it displayed on the homepage in the "What's New" list. That's weird; certainly not how Community Server used to behave. Anyway I set about to fix it. I found a couple of articles on the subject, but none that I felt were quite right...

Hacking Community Server: Event Calendar Intro

This post starts off a five-part series on adding an event calendar to Community Server 2007. Many communities need the ability to track their events.

Hacking Community Server: Remove Group List

I only have one blog on my site, so I felt there was no need to display the blog Groups list on the main blog page. It's simple enough to take out. Open up the Themes/[theme]/Blogs/blogs.Master file, and comment out the CSBlog:GroupList control, as shown below: <% --<CSBlog:GroupList runat...

Hacking Community Server: Editable Footer

I have completed the aesthetic upgrades to my site that I could with the new Chameleon interface in Community Server 2007. Now it is time to do the fun stuff. One of the things I wanted to do was make the footer area an editable content area, but I didn't want to have to modify the Themes/[theme...

Site Upgrade – Update 2

The aesthetic update is done for now. There are a couple more things I want to do, but they require changing the .ASPX files, and I wanted to see how far I could get with the new Chameleon stuff in Community Server 2007. Not too bad I guess. The CSS override option is what saved me. I found Firefox with...

Site Upgrade – Update 1

So I finally got Community Server 2007 installed, well upgraded from version 2. Seeing how I just spent the better part of 9 hours doing it, I thought I'd recap for anyone who might run across the issues I did. The main issue I encountered occurred when I uploaded the new content files, and installed...

Site Upgrade

For the two (2) of you who actually read this blog <g>, this weekend I will be attempting to upgrade Community Server on this site to 2007 and hopefully not delete all my blog posts in the process (yes, I have backups). Not only am I attempting to upgrade from version 2.1 to 2007, but I am also...
