Forum Post: Moderated Users Can Edit Posts that have been approved by a moderator?

Peter Payne — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 17:29:00 GMT

Okay, here's the scenario: A user is moderated. He makes an acceptable post in a moderated forum and the post is approved by a moderator. Now, the moderated user EDITS his post in an offensive manner. It seems that Community Server allows this. How can this best be prevented?

What version of the product are you using?

Anders Vindberg — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 11:35:00 GMT

This is still an issue in TC 5.5, so I guess it didn't make into the product. Hoping to have this disabled for the next release 6.x something. All my clients are requesting it.

Thanks.

Forum Post: Platform Search API: search for content in multiple groups

Baraa Basata — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 14:25:00 GMT

I'm using the Platform API for content search, and I would like to search for items that belong to either of two groups in a single search. I haven't found documentation on how to achieve "group 4 or group 7". With some experimentation, the following seems to work (joining multiple group IDs with a comma). Can anyone confirm that this is correct?

Could you describe a bit more about what you're trying to accomplish with this? Which "edit mode" are you looking to be able to detect?

Content Pages were added in the 5.5 release, and so are only usable in 5.5 and above.

Forum Post: Blog Author Permissions

stephaniepfff — Thu, 27 May 2010 15:27:00 GMT

Is it possible to allow a user to edit the blog home page (access widgets/add/delete widgets) without allowing them to access widgets on any other page or section of the site? We would like to allow a manager access to edit the content in generic content widgets that are on the blog's homepage but not allow them to touch any other widget.

I've attempted to add various types of permissions/roles/authors but I haven't been able to make it work. The blog is in the site root.

Thanks!!

Forum Post: How Do You Set The File Type Restrictions For The "Insert Image" Button

rnagle — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 17:07:00 GMT

How do you change the list of extensions of acceptable file types for the Insert Image button for Wikis, Blogs, and Forums? I have successful changed the list for Media Galleries by going to Control Panel > Site Admin > Site Files > Site Content > User Files > Allowed File Extensions. But this setting seems to only effect Media Galleries.

I have also tried changing the settings in communityServer.config for allowedAttachmentTypes and extensions but to no avail.

Please help, this driving me crazy

Forum Post: How do you restrict file types a user can upload as their avatar?

substrate9 — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 16:07:00 GMT

There seems to be no way to gracefully reject bad file types or oversized image files when a user uploads their avatar.

We can display a custom error page, but this doesn't tell them what happened, which is a poor user experience.

Are there any other options?

Forum Post: How Add WeblogPostList to Widget Programatically

stephaniepfff — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 03:38:00 GMT

I need to create a calendar type listing of blog posts, and have been able to do so by extending the existing widget with 6 weblogpostlist controls, each set to a different month. I know, doesn't sound efficient, but I really am not fluent with evolution.

I'd like to create each instance of the weblogpostlist programatically so I can give my user the option of viewing 4-6 months worth of posts. How can I do this programatically instead of declaratively creating 4,5, or 6 instance of the weblogpostlist control?

Thanks in advance!!

Wiki Page: Configuring Sharepoint (Single Machine)

Jenny Jarrard — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 18:33:00 GMT

In this article we will discuss how to configure Microsoft Sharepoint Server (running on a single machine) to support integration with Community Server Evolution 1.0.

Prerequisites

Community Server Evolution 1.0 SP1 installed
Community Server Evolution license installed
Note: SharePoint integration will NOT work properly without a valid license. If you need an evaluation license, please contact sales@telligent.com.
Access to an administrative account for both SharePoint and Evolution
If SharePoint and Evolution are installed on different domains, a proxy account with access to both domains
Downloaded SharePoint integration package (SP1, which you can obtain from support)
Evolution Configured for Sharepoint

Follow these steps to configure SharePoint for Evolution in a non-farm environment:

1. Customize the SharePoint integration package

a. Unzip the SharePoint integration package. If you do not have it yet, it can be found on the downloads page.

b. Open the “Installer.bat” file (found in files unzipped from integration package) in a text editor.

c. Change the directory entered next to the SPDIR variable to point to your SharePoint installation’s Web server extensions binaries directory. If you did not customize this during installation of SharePoint, the entry that comes in the batch file by default may not need editing.

d. Change the siteCollection variable to the URL of your site collection.

e. Change the targetWeb variable to the base URL of your SharePoint site.

f. Save your changes and close your text editor

2. Install the SharePoint integration package.

a. Open a Command Prompt and navigate to the directory that contains the updated Installer.bat file (modified in step 1b).

b. Enter the command: “installer.bat in” and press ENTER.

c. The SharePoint integration package will be installed. Please be patient, as this will take some time.

d. After the batch file has completed running, close the Command Prompt.

3. Activate the SharePoint integration package.

a. Navigate to your SharePoint site with a user account that has administrative rights to your site.

b. Navigate to your “Site Settings” panel. (Site ActionsSite Settings).

c. Look for the “Community Server Settings” section and select the “Global Settings” link:

d. Enter your REST API connection information:

i. The “Community Server URL” should be the URL you would type in your browser to access your Evolution installation. No trailing slashes are necessary. If you need to add a port number to access your Evolution site, be sure to include that as part of the URL.

ii. The “REST Owner Username” should be the Evolution username of the user that you created the REST API key with. As long as you did not change the Evolution setting to stop trimming the preceding domain names, you will not need to include the domain name and backslash before the user name. For example: “DOMAIN\SharePointRestUser” should just be entered as “SharePointRestUser”.

iii. The “REST APIKey Value” should be the REST API key that you generated earlier.

e. Enter a cross-domain proxy user information (OPTIONAL: only if Evolution and SharePoint are on different domains and you’ll be using NTLM to connect to Evolution from SharePoint).

i. Enter a username, password, and domain for a proxy user that has access to both domains.

f. Configure final integration settings from SharePoint.

i. If you would like synced document libraries to have link to their Evolution media gallery counterpart entries, check the “Enabled Links to Community Server” box.

ii. Check the boxes next to the lists inside of SharePoint that you would like to trigger activity messages inside of Evolution. For example, if you want activity messages to be generated for users when they modify files inside of a particular document library, check the box next to that document library’s name.

g. Save the settings.

4. Enable integrated search between Evolution and SharePoint.

a. Under the “Site Settings” main page, find the “Site Administration” group and select the link “Site features”.

b. Scan through the “Site features” list and find the “Community Server Search Replacement for WSS v3” feature. Click on the “Activate” button next to that feature if the feature is not already active.

c. You can now return to your SharePoint homepage.

Congratulations! Your SharePoint installation has now been augmented with the best features of Community Server Evolution, including blogs, forums, and groups. Evolution/Community Server Web parts will be available to add to any page on your site. By default, navigation elements have also been added to your navigation bar to allow your users to quickly navigate to blogs, forums, and groups within your Evolution community.

Wiki Page: Configuring Evolution for Sharepoint

Jenny Jarrard — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 18:32:00 GMT

In this article we will discuss how to configure Evolution to support Microsoft Sharepoint Server integration.

Prerequisites

Community Server Evolution 1.0 SP1 installed
Community Server Evolution license installed
Note: SharePoint integration will NOT work properly without a valid license. If you need an evaluation license, please contact sales@telligent.com.
Access to an administrative account for both SharePoint and Evolution
If SharePoint and Evolution are installed on different domains, a proxy account with access to both domains
Downloaded SharePoint integration package (SP1, which you can obtain from support)

Configuring Evolution for Sharepoint

1. Enable the REST API.

2. Generate a REST API key with a service account that has administrative rights to Evolution.

You will need an Evolution user that has administrative rights to generate the REST API key. If you are using Windows Authentication, you’ll likely want to create this service user in your Active Directory, log in to Evolution to create an account for that user, and then use another administrative account to give the new user the “System Administrator” role via the “Membership Administration” control panel.

Write down the resulting API key—you will need it later.

3. Configure the SharePoint.config file

a. Navigate to the directory in which you installed Evolution. If you installed via the MSI installer, this will likely be c:\Program Files\Telligent\Community Server Evolution\Web\.

b. Open the file “SharePoint.config” in a text editor.

c. Edit the following fields in the configuration file:

i. The Value field for BaseUrl should be the base URL for your SharePoint installation. For example, if your SharePoint site is at http://sharepoint on your intranet, that would be your base URL.
ii. The Value field for ServiceUrl should be the URL for where the Community Server integration Web service will be installed. Typically, you’ll just need to replace the beginning of this URL with your base URL and leave the rest. Test the URL in a browser to validate that it is active.
iii. The impersonator object should have its fields replaced with the credentials of a service account that has administrative access to your SharePoint site. This user will be used by Community Server to upload documents from Community Server to SharePoint.

d. Save your changes to the SharePoint.config file.

4. Configure the Packages.config file.

a. Open Packages.config from the same directory in a text editor.
b. Add the following entry (without the quotes):

<Package Name="SharePoint" Version="1.0" DateInstalled="11/07/2008" Id="2" />

i. Replace the DateInstalled date with the current date.
ii. Ensure that the Id field has an unique number from any other package entries that may already be installed.

Note: The packages.config file is case sensitive so please ensure you are using the exact same case as the above example.

5. Restart the Evolution site by "touching" the web.config file, through the IIS Management Console, or using the command line tool IISRESET.

Once you've configured Evolution, you need to then configure Sharpoint. If you are running Sharepoint on a single machine then please follow these steps. If you are running Sharepoint in a web farm then please follow these steps.
