QuickTips #66: Scoping Your Search Results

Jim Holmes — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 17:11:12 GMT

Search in Telligent Enterprise and Community gives you a lot of power to find interesting content throughout the community; however, sometimes you can get overwhelmed with the results. You can use search scoping in the search box to limit results to the group you're currently in -- making it a lot easier to find content when you're only interested in results specific to a particular group.

Quick Tip #60: Using wiki syntax to stub out new pages

Josh Ledgard — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 03:45:00 GMT

This video shows you exactly how you can do that without taking your hands off the keyboard and using basic wiki syntax.

Quick Tip #59: Using SharePoint Integration to link document libraries and media galleries

Jim Holmes — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 22:04:00 GMT

With Telligent's SharePoint Integration package you can synchronize the contents of a SharePoint library and a Telligent Enterprise media gallery. You can upload files to SharePoint and they'll appear as regular file items in the media gallery. You can also upload files to the media gallery and they'll be stored in the partner SharePoint library while still displaying in the media gallery.

You don't have to worry about duplicates eating up your storage space -- these files are stored only in the SharePoint library.

This Quick Tip shows you how to set up file synchronization partnerships, and how to work with uploading files to either SharePoint or Telligent Enterprise.
