  • CS Spotlight: Extended User Data

    Introduction For this week's spotlight, I figured I'd talk about another often overlooked feature that exists in Community Server , ExtendedUserData. This small feature grew out of numerous client requests to include additional profile information during both registration and profile editing while not touching core code. While it's not the end-all solution it's quite simple to setup and meets the demands of the basic scenarios. You could add controls to the correct skins, configure...

  • Telligent turns 2

    It's hard to believe, but on June 1st 2006 Telligent turned 2 years old! To celebrate we brought in some of our team in from out-of-town, held a half-day company meeting, and then took over a section of a restraunt for a nice dinner. The night was also a celebration of some amazing achievements the CodeSmith team has accomplished. I've posted some photos from the dinner here: http://communityserver.org/photos/rhoward/tags/2006+Company+Meeting/default.aspx The last 2 years have been absolutely amazing...

  • Trusted Connections: There's more to it than that

    Yesterday I resolved some jobs issues on a couple of my sites by switching trusted connection off (see Don't use trusted connection... ). When talking to some of the guys here at the office, it became obvious that there is more to this issue than just trusted connections. As a matter of fact, some people hold that the prefered method is to use trusted connections (your username and password aren't sitting in your web.config for the world to see should some malevolent soul gain access to your box...

  • Don't use trusted connection...

    I've been having a nagging issue with a couple of my CS sites and finally spent some time to work it out. Basically, my blogs weren't tracking views and my membership statistics never seemed to update. I didn't have any interesting exceptions in the exceptions report (control panel->administration->reports->exceptions report) but I had a few jobs that wouldn't seem to run (control panel->administration->reports->jobs report). While my SiteStatisicsJob and my ViewsJob seemed to run...

  • PubSub and Blog Pings

    Some unfortunate news from the blog pinging industry: PubSub may not be around much longer. At least not in its current state. After some rumours were posted on TechCrunch recently, Co-founder Bob Wyman wrote last week about the troubles they are going through on his blog. I hope Bob can find help and keep his service running. PubSub is one of the major blog pinging services and is used by many bloggers and is part of the Feed Mesh network. Weblogs.com and Blo.gs were both acquired by large companies...

  • Text Parts

    If you're a big Community Server user, you've probably played with Text Parts but, if you haven't, you've got to check them out. In my blog on ooto.info , I've started adding a bunch of words that I can drop in square brackets that automatically (when the post is saved) get turned into links. There's a lot you can do with these and I'm only scratching the surface but try it out. In the control panel under any blog, go to Settings->Manage My Blog's TextParts (CS2.0). and click Create New TextPart...
