Give Login Focus
I greatly expanded my knowledge of Community Server and especially CSS by trying my hand at building a custom theme for the Community Server extravaganza last week. While working on my entry [ VoteForMeNow ! :) Look for OOTO2K7 ], I found a number of...
Proudly Announcing TelliCast!
We published our first episode of TelliCast on the Telligent Blog this week. We've recorded several episodes related to Community Server and we'll be publishing more in upcoming weeks. Take a gander, send me some feedback, suggest topics and let...
CS2007 Forums at the Root
In reading the Community Server forums, I saw some questions about using forums at the root. I thought that was a great question. I am running my site with a blog at the root and I've seen several sites where they have deployed a forum at the root...
Technorati Claim
I've been asked by several clients to help them claim their blogs on Technorati . Clients don't want the obnoxious javascript on their site that Technorati tries to inject with their embedded claim and they really don't want to add a "...
Control Panel Grid Size
I just found a nugget that I thought I'd share. I have way too much spam in my blog - I'm working on tweaking my spam filters to get rid of more of it, but I digress... I have the task of manually cleaning out all of the spam. In CS2+, this isn't...
Custom Apps within Community Server
A few months ago, a client of mine asked for the ability to host a custom app from within their Community Server deployment. Well, I got to working with TheMan and we built a web.config that basically restored the settings in a virtual directory within...
Blogmailr
An easy way to blog anywhere from the makrs of Community Server . I originally wrote this post on my cell phone to test to see if Blogmailr posts supported Snippets - what do ya know - they do! If you aren't blogging with Blogmailr , seriously, what...
CS Soapbox Module by J-O Eriksson
I was shown a really slick module for embedding MSN SoapBox videos in your CS site. J-O Eriksson is the contributor of this module and it's really slick and super easy to deploy, configure and use. So - use this link to get the module for your CS...
Unskin your Control Panel
I deal with this on almost every CS implementation I work on. We start tweaking the common.css and our control panel goes crazy: our nav buttons get fat, the colors start changing in random ways... You've probably experienced this if you've ever...
Google Analytics - That was easy!
I thought it was about time that I try out Google Analytics and, unlike my foray into playing with Google AdSense, set out to get the scripts embedded right away. I can't believe how easy it was... Go to http://www.google.com/analytics/ Register Copy...
Firefox CSS Style Rules
The IE DevToolbar has a nice DOM model viewer but the tool that comes with Firefox one's it up - a video about CSS development/debugging: [camtasia:FireFoxDOMTools:450:400] In the above video, I discuss the DOM Viewer in the IE DevTollBar and show...
I like Chiwi
So Chiwi is a Community Server forum member who wrote an incredible Photo Gallery management tool that I've wanted to talk about for months. This tool gives another option to Community Server users to bulk upload photos to their gallery. Also within this...
CS 2.1 Feature Love
I've been working with CS 2.1 quite a bit and there are a few things that I'm mad in love with about the new system (there's a lot more to the new version than I'm going to talk about here but these are the things that I'm really stoked about): Moveable...
Trackbacks versus Referrers
A great question came in to me today about Community Server and I wanted to share. In Community Server, when you view all of your posts in the control panel, there's a link on the "views" field which links to a "referrers" page...
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...
