I love the new widgets feature that is in Groups!! On the few blog themes I've checked, I didn't see the ability to customize widgets in blogs as you can in groups. Will this be a feature that will show up in a later build prior to release? Also, where in the world are the widgets defined in...

Hey all! Been out of the loop for quite a while since work concerns have been keeping me too freakin' busy to do much else anymore. In any case is there any changes I would need to make to my current theming in 2008 or is it still the chameleon system as in 2007?

While tinking around with Groups, I created one but quickly changed my mind that I wanted it to have a different name. I jumped into the "Edit this Group" page, and changing the name was a cinch. This is where I realized something wasn't right. Because I originally called the group Tech...

The rich text editors no longer appear to have the super slick Content Selector option to easily browse files, photos, site files, etc. and insert the appropriate item needed. Now I see an "Insert Media" link in it's place that pales in comparison. Please tell me that something at least...

Thanks Nick, Your add-on looks compelling and I will look into this an option; however the premise behind options like Windows CardSpace and OpenID is "user centric identity" as opposed to a centralized identity store like Windows Live/PassPort. It's cool that Windows Live (in beta still...

I have to respectively disagree - supporting OpenID doesn't give you a free pass to CardSpace. In the OpenID (and LiveID) situations, CardSpace is just a way to get a more secure logon and effectively replaces your username/pwd prompts. It's not the same thing as directly supporting a CardSpace...

Folks, I was thoughtfully reviewing the the CS2008 Beta 1 readme content thinking about upgrading my live community when I read about the CFS and my "wow" comment turned in a "gowsh" and I almost fainted. My community is small and primarily revolves around (big) photo galleries...

Is there help file (.chm) or documentation for Community server 2008, so that I can know more about the new features implemented in 2008 such as groups etc.

Will there be a configuration setting that sets the storage quota that a user can upload as their files? Michael

After upgrading, we are unable to "download" attachments. The message below is displayed for both upgraded and new media files. We are running in the Cassini web server, not IIS though. We get the following error: The resource cannot be found. Description: HTTP 404. The resource...

I want a registered users to be able to contribute to Everyone's Blog, but i don't want them to be able to edit, delete (This Blog or other blog post in the blog) everyone else's post when they are done. Currently, people have the option to "Post to this Blog", write their post...

clarkrb allowing individual members to choose whether to show their activity publicly I would like to second that. There is a german based biz network www.xing.com (ex OpenBC), they faced a comparable backlash from users, too. Privacy control matters, people become more and more aware and concerned...

Hi Jose, I upgraded recently to CS2008 and anonymous users cannot see any of the media. I know I must be missing something and hopefully you can help me.

Okay, I gave everyone download access and that seem to work. Is this neccessary or is there another way I can get thru this without displaying the download link.

I'm looking at implementing a large number of groups (30 or so) each with their own forums. I'd like each of these forums to exist in their individual groups but to also be pulled up to the main site forums. This way users would see the posts for 'spongebob' whether they're in the...

is there any user amount limitation in CS2008 Express Edition?

One of the first things I tried with 2008 was to see if the version of TinyMCE included would be enabled for Safari. Looks like that is still not the case yet. :( Then, I noticed an option for "Enhanced 2", which produced an editor in Safari that did in fact work. However it had a few too many...

I want to showed logged in users all the new (unread) blog posts since their last visit (in CS 2008). How can I do this? Thanks.

Hi, I'm trying to set up AD authentication using Forms. Does this come out of the box with CS 2008? I read somewhere that it is handled using LDAP, but I cannot find documentation anywhere on how to set it up. Thanks

I've been trying to find a way of creating posts which we can set as sticky, but unfortunatelly I have been unable to do this on our CS2008 test environment. I'm confident that the posts are correctly being flagged as "Sticky" as the "Post is pinned" icon apears next to...

Folks, My site leverages an aspnetdb dataset that is hosted in a separate database from the CS database in order to share it with other applications. This is done redirecting the database connection string in the web.config files as per morpheus workings. Is the upgrade program aware of a morpheus...

Can we please have integrated support for Windows CardSpace and OpenID as authentication providers? Thanks, -Brad Turner

We are trying to create a multilevel forum hierarchy. Since Forum Groups can't be nested we need to have Forum Groups at the top levels, and then Forums and Subforums at the next levels. But the behavior is consistent between Forum Groups and Forums that parent Subforums. This is particularly noteworth...

Dave has anyone tried simply creating a CSModule that creates a media gallery for the user on registration? Hello! We're running a business here! We don't expect to have to run round getting our developers writing code to put back features which have been removed from off-the-shelf...

I just notice that the watermark that I had on all my pictures is now missing from the new Gallery on CS2008. Was this feature removed and if so can we get it back? I like having the sites watermark on the pictures so if anyone copies them at least everyone would know where they came from. If it was...
