Hello All,

I have been aware of a lot of people Blogging about issues with CommunityServer and complaining about implementation. Most of these have just been brought to my attention and my question is – why Blog about it to people who cannot do anything about it? PLEASE CONTACT US!!!!

Apparently a lot of these are features that are not implemented because they require additional “add-ons” to CS. We do not know you want these added on unless you tell us!!!

In the future please email us and we will do our best to get whatever you want either fixed, upgraded or added on!

We are ready to implement the MetaBlog API butg I cannot find a valid download for it - anyone know where i can get it? Or can anyone download this one:

When I do i get the exception.

Thanks,

Donny

Scott has indicated this is a known issue. If your RSS feed is getting an exception it probably means comments are disabled. See: http://www.sqljunkies.com/Forums/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=6357

Hello All,

As you can probably tell we have CS up and going.

Please post all bug reports and feature requests here: http://sqljunkies.com/Forums/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=191

We'll be doing daily builds (or as many as we need) and updates so please post no matter how small the problem is. We are already aware of the Gallery issue and will hopefully have a fix tomorrow morning.

Thanks,

Donny Mack

So with the migration and some suttle differences with the two blogging applications there will be a little administrative tasks from the users side.  Everyone who had a Gallery before will still have a gallery but you will need to provide a link to it on your blog page.

This can be accomplished by logging into your blog.  After logging in there will be an admin link.  Click on the Admn link and go to the Blogs tab.  You will see your blog and some administrative function you can perform.

You are going to want to click on Links: 

   1. you will then need to add a link column header and then click save.
   2. Next you will have a box to put in your link url you will enter it as http://www.sqljunkies.com/weblog/photos/ [your photo gallery] 
   3. Then click save an proceed to your blog click refresh and your link will be there.  Because of caching it may not be there straight away.

Next when you make a post and you want to Include an image in your post you may edit the HTML of the post an add an Image tag.
   1. The url of the image can be found by going to your Gallery and clicking on your image till you get the original image on the gallery page.  Then copy that URL link and paste everything from the /Weblog/ into the IMG src attribue like so:

obviously change [ ] for a <>  [img src="/WebLog/photos/[yourgallerynamehere]/images/15644/original.aspx" /]

Welll it is late now and I hope to help more later.
