I've just been looking through the Hawaii theme nad noticed that there are very few options that can be set through the dynamic themes configuration - is this something that just hasn't been implemented yet or are you not planning to add much in the way of dynamic styling to Hawaii?

Hi I'm working with the new Hawaii theme and I find that customizing this theme isn't as dynamic as the calypso theme. Is there a way to add "What's New," and other things of this nature. On a side note, how was the Site Activity section added to the community dashboard when users are not logged in?

Thanks,

Jason

To do this, you'd need to review and edit the associated theme files to include the information that you want.

In the themes/hawaii/common/home.aspx page (which contains the content of the home page), there are checks to determine if the current user is logged in or not... when not, the site activity is shown.

Thanks for the information, Ben. I've located the section in the home.aspx page deals with the SiteActivity. I believe this is it.

            <CSMessage:ActivityMessageList runat="server" ShowHeaderFooterOnNone="false">
                <QueryOverrides QueryType="SiteActivity" PageSize="30" PageIndex="1" />
                <LeaderTemplate>
                    <div class="CommonContentBox TitleHighlighted">
                        <h4 class="CommonContentBoxHeader"><CSControl:ResourceControl runat="server" ResourceName="SiteActivity" /></h4>
                        <div class="CommonContentBoxContent">
                </LeaderTemplate>
                <HeaderTemplate><ul class="CommonContentBoxList"></HeaderTemplate>
                <ItemTemplate>
                    <CSMessage:ActivityMessageData runat="server" Property="DateCreated" Tag="Li" CssClass="Header" FormatString="MMMM dd, yyyy">
                        <DisplayConditions><CSControl:CustomCondition CustomResult='<%# ShowDateHeader("FriendActivity", Eval("DateCreated")) %>' runat="server" /></DisplayConditions>
                    </CSMessage:ActivityMessageData>
                    <CSMessage:ActivityMessageData Property="Type" Text="<li class="CommonActivity {0}">" runat="server" />
                        <CSMessage:ActivityMessageData runat="server" Property="Body" />
                    </li>
                </ItemTemplate>
                <NoneTemplate><CSControl:ResourceControl runat="server" ResourceName="SiteActivity_NotActive" /></NoneTemplate>
                <FooterTemplate></ul></FooterTemplate>
                <TrailerTemplate>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </TrailerTemplate>
            </CSMessage:ActivityMessageList>

I've also read the other post on adding the What's New section on the homepage and I've seen the video that you and Wyatt did on Cameleon controls, but quite can't figure out how to enable the Site Activity on the homepage. How can I replicate what Telligent did with showing the Site activity for anonymous logins and keep the customized homepage for logged in users?

Thanks!

Jason
