I'll piggyback on your post and ask a related question I asked before the beta was released : With CS2008, users can create their own groups. Since groups have their own forum and some of us don't have unlimited licenses, is this feature essentially not available to us?

I concur 100%. In fact, that price increase agitates me to no end. I understand you guys think you're the greatest thing since sliced bread. But a 100% price increase for a product that lacks in so many ways in comparison to some of your less expensive rivals is unjustified, imho. I had resisted...

Hello, I have current CS2007 community with several private forums. Each forum has it's own role in membership database. Will be possible to join or replace this roles with CS2008 group "roles"? I would like to assign few private forums to newly created groups, so group admins would...

I tried a fresh install of CS2008 B1 and I noticed there is no sample media gallery, no files... nothing. I can't seem to find a place to create a media gallery, am I missing something?

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.

I'm not running the beta for CS2008 so I don't know if this has been dealt with already, but in CS2007 the icons looked real bad while using darker themes. There was white flashing around the icons which didn't look right. It was clear they were made with a much lighter background in mind...

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...

Hi! Now CS 2008 finally released, but i still can't found SDK on site! Can anyone explain me how i can get it or it will be not avaliable? ;-)

In CS 2007 I could use the AdPlacement attribute on some of the CS Controls, and then use the AdTemplate element to specify an AdControl with its ContentName set to a site article name. I have tried using this construct in CS 2008, however it doesn't appear to be working so I'm either A) Doing...

Hi We are currently using CS2007 which we have done a lot of skinning/theming on. We are considering to start "fresh" with a new design in CS2008 and therefor wonder if this procedure would be possible. 1. Install a new version of CS2008 2. Make a copy ot the CS2007 database. 3...

In CS 2.1 and 2007 I made heavy use of the ability to specify an image size in the URL. I don't have one in front of me, but the basic concept was something like this: http://yourdomainhere.com/gallery/picture1234/800x600.aspx - would give you an 800 x 600 version of picture 1234. Then suppose...

Outstanding, thanks Ben, it works great! Also for those who may need it for other applications, I noticed upon right-clicking an image in the gallery preview window, viewing Properties, Address I got something like this: http://yourdomainhere.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/500x400/__key/CommunityServer...

The 'What's New' feature on CS2007 worked well because it showed the title in large font and users could quickly see recent additions and uploads. For a corporate site which has more emphasis on document sharing and less on forums and posts etc, this is more accessible than the 'activity...

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...

I purchased CS 2007 Persnal to me which version updated as CS 2008 version of CS 2008 Personal I have not found. Thanks you in advice for your attention to the problem.

Hello everybody. I have good news! As many of you know, I made my way translating Community Server to Spanish for everyone's use. With the new version lots of changes and new features required a new translation in which, of course, I have been working in. This is the current version that has a...

How do I re-index the forum posts in CS 2008? I just migrated posts from our old community product to CS 2008 and would like to re-index everything so that all the posts show up on the website. Please let me know. Thanks, Paras Wadehra 954-202-3750 paras.wadehra@aa-rf.com

Several pages in CS 2008 that require that the user is logged in present an Access Denied message instead of redirecting the user to the login page with a ReturnUrl. One example is to click "Message Board Subscriptions" from the forums right nav while not logged in. How can I force a redirection...

I would like to know how to mass import users (and hopefully user types) by using the API and either a TXT file or XML. Any ideas? We would like to be able to mass import users from a CSV, TXT, or XML file and thought the API would allow for this, but documentation is scarece. Any help, pointers, ideas...

I'm running a website for my extended family: 8 blogs, 8 galleries, minimal forum usage, etc. Because we share family pictures and personal information and many of us have young kids, we decided a while ago to restrict access to the site to only authenticated users, and I'd control who could...

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.

Cross posting to both CS 2008 and 2007 because it happens on both. If you go to the "Find a user" page in CS (such as http://dev.communityserver.com/user/Members.aspx ), the UserList object performs the search even though it is not going to be rendered. It calls Users.GetUsers in the DataSource...

Absolutely agree. The dashboard is very clever but it is missing some tricks IMHO. When I visit and land on the dashboard I don't need to see a list of my pictures and my blog posts. I know that already. What I need to know is "what I've missed", "what's new", "what's...
