You can use these modules to do all types of cool and interesting things with Community Server, for example: LightBox, Calendar, translation, Wikipedia tools, Digg tools, and more!
I just posted this to the FileGallery, but wanted to make sure everyone saw it.
Over the past weekend (Jan 20-22) we ran a small contest to see who could create the best CSModule. When all was said and done, we received about 20 submissions. The download contains all of these submissions pre-compiled for easy deployment. In the coming weeks we hope each of the developers will release his or her source code. Further, we hope these modules will provide you with some insight on how to write your own CSModules.

While the modules are not supported, we would love hear what you liked about them. The plan is to have a couple more of these contests (public and private) in the coming months, so stay tuned! Most of these modules were written in the 30 minutes to two hour time range and provide a quick glimpse into how you can add a lot of value to your own site, without the need to alter the CS source code.
A full list of modules created for this contest can be found here.

I think that this is one of the coolest things that has ever happened to Community Server.
Now we can have our own component world as in www.snowcovered.com
These are great modules - I'm sure many will find them very useful. The Calendar module is genius.
The link to the LightBoxGallery is not working - it prompts for a login to create a new topic I believe.
Thanks to all who contributed for making these available.
These modules look absolutely great - well done - its going to make the b2 to b3 a real upgrade rather than just the bug fix release which is what I was expecting.
One question, I want to pick and chose which modules are active on my forum and the link tells me to go to
http://developer.communityserver.org/default.aspx/CS.FirstCSModuleContent
for details. I went there and found lots of info but no details of how to sswitch them on and off individually?
Cheers

Thought I'd installed these all ok but I get this error?
Exception Details: System.Exception: DanBartels.CS.Calendar.CalendarLink, DanBartels.CS.Calendar does not exist
I've worked through both merge files, so what have I missed?

Had the same problem. You need to have DanBartels.CS.Calendar.Components.CalendarLink in the Add Name tag in web.config instead.
Do you mean communityserver.config?
So the line becomes
<add name = "CalendarLinkModule" type = "DanBartels.CS.Calendar.Components.CalendarLink, DanBartels.CS.Calendar" />
how do i switch the other modules on and off individually?
The Calander feature is just fantastic!
Are these modules for 1.1 or 2 beta?
I know that Teligent has an add-on section in the file area, but it would be nice if they (or someone) put together something to categorize custom modules by CS version as well as category. This will become more and more useful as more custom modules become available.
Anyway, kudo's to all involved. Stuff like this is just awesome.
We built these to work with the new Community Server 2.0 beta 3 release...

Hey guys,
I've updated the contest wiki page (http://developer.communityserver.org/default.aspx/CS.FirstCSModuleContent) to provide more details and make it a bit more standalone.
Also, at the very bottom, I've included installation instructions at the bottom, and built out a new wiki page (http://developer.communityserver.org/default.aspx/CS.HowToInstallCSModules) on how to install CSModules generally.
Hopefully that helps!
Thanks, I've added the following
<add name = "LinkLoveModule" type="CommunityServer.Team.ModuleContest.LinkLoveModule, ModuleContest" /> <add name = "WebServicesModule" type="CommunityServer.Team.ModuleContest.WebServicesModule, ModuleContest" /> <add name = "CountdownModule" type="CommunityServer.Team.ModuleContest.CountdownModule, ModuleContest" /> <add name = "AutoMediaModule" type="CommunityServer.Team.ModuleContest.AutoMediaModule, ModuleContest" /> LinkLove seems to work OK, with links appearing in new windows - thats great, you wouldn't believe how much grief thats going to save me. But I'm a bit unsure about the extra parameters you mention. Where do i put them? Coundown module , I copied the example exactly and pasted it into a post but it rendered it exactly as i posted it? [countdown:2/17/06:Only _value_ days until the final release of CS 2.0:CS 2.0 is finally here!] I'm off to test the other two now - will let you know how it goes. Chris

Does the webservices module only work with Blogs?
I just tried in the forums, after getting my google key and adding
<add name="WebServicesModule" type="CommunityServer.Team.ModuleContest.WebServicesModule, ModuleContest" GoogleMapsAPIKey="ABQIAAAA84i2Y_Nu1WT7BLV5ZwaJ0hT9yljmD6YKgw2Dfyd9xHMN8ecL6xTDO_FsLihgF0wTOi05m83dAF7PMg" AmazonAPIKey="127KX64HX2WCBH39FA02" AmazonAssociateID="kevinharderco-20" />
I then copied and pasted your example exactly into a post in my forum but nothing appeared. Not the map or the line of text which was meant to produce it.
