Wiki Page: Cookie compliance FAQ

Jenny Jarrard — Fri, 25 May 2012 18:55:00 GMT

The following FAQ has been prepared concerning cookie storage of or access to user information in a user-owned device.

Does any part of Telligent Evolution (including the Telligent Community and Telligent Enterprise applications) make use of cookies or similar techniques for storing information on the client's browser?

Yes. Telligent Evolution (and Telligent Analytics, if in use) store cookies on the client's browser.

What are the cookies, what are they used for, and what information is stored in them?

The cookies are listed and described in the following table.

Cookie	Description	Required/Optional
.Telligent.Evolution	This cookie is an ASP.NET authentication cookie. It is used to support the login system.	Required
AuthorizationCookie	A Globally Unique Identifier (GUID, e.g., 80FC959D-E916-4C1D-9054-C058450DB32D), used for security purposes.	Required
CommunityServer-AutoLoginCookie	True/False indicator of whether you want to be automatically logged in. This cookie is not present in 6.0.	Deprecated
CommunityServer-LastVisitUpdated	Indicates the last time the user was in the community. This cookie is not present in 5.6.	Deprecated
CommunityServer-UserCookieNNNN	Removed in 5.6 release.	Deprecated
BlogPostList-ViewType	Saves a user’s preference for display of a blog post list. - Can be disabled via widget code. (BlogPostList).	Optional
ThreadFilter	Saves a user's preference for displaying a forum thread list. Can be disabled via widget code (ForumThreadList).	Optional
CSAnonymous	Can be turned off in the Control Panel. Caches your roles in a cookie.	Optional
CSRoles	Can be turned off in the Control Panel. Tracks anonymous users.	Optional
CSExtendedAnalytics (if Telligent Analytics is in use)	A GUID representing your user.	Required if Telligent Analytics is in use
CSExtendedAnalyticsSession (if Telligent Analytics is in use)	A GUID representing your current browsing session.	Required if Telligent Analytics is in use

Are the cookies strictly necessary for the customer or user experience, and if so, why?

With the exception of cookies that can be disabled or turned off, all of these cookies are required for proper site functioning. Two of them (.Telligent.Evolution or AuthorizationCookie), are for security purposes. The CSExtendedAnalytics cookies are necessary for proper Web analytics functionality in Telligent Analytics.

Wiki Page: Authentication

Jim Gross — Wed, 23 May 2012 20:38:00 GMT

Telligent Community can be configured to handle membership in one of two ways:

Define your own membership rules within the community with users authenticated through the standard ASP.NET Forms authentication.
Use the security that is already part of another application in your environment for login, logout, and registration. This enables members of your community to log in once and gain access to all related systems without being prompted to log in or register multiple times. We offer the following options for single sign-on authentication:
1. Cookie Authentication - Shared authentication with applications that don't use Microsoft ASP.NET (e.g., PHP, ColdFusion)
2. Forms Authentication - Shared authentication with other Microsoft ASP.NET applications
3. OAuth - Use Facebook or Twitter credentials to create a login to the community
4. Windows Authentication - Shared authentication within an internal environment using Windows Active Directory

Wiki Page: Telligent Evolution 6.1 hotfixes including Telligent Community 6.1

Jenny Jarrard — Wed, 23 May 2012 15:33:00 GMT

The following list details bugs that were fixed or will be fixed in chronological hotfixes. The hotfixes are cumulative, meaning that the more recent hotfix will contain fixes incorporated in previous hotfixes. Please contact Telligent Support to request any hotfix shown here, ask questions about specific bug fixes or get additional help in applying the hotfixes to your environment.

Forum Post: RE: Gallery Post Duplicate Names

We don’t allow the same post name in a single media gallery since we require the post name and gallery to be unique when combined, mostly because the post name and gallery key are used to create the url.

You can duplicate post names across media galleries and groups. I also checked the error if you do post a duplicate and it is a friendly duplicate message at least in 6.1 via the UI.

No problem.

Community 6.0.119.19092

If it matters I am adding the gallery post via the In-Process API call "Media.Create()". It doesn't seem to work adding the file directly into the CP either for the gallery and seems to restricted just to the gallery. Using the name of an already uploaded file results in the exception.

Thanks for looking into this.

Forum Post: RE: Telligent Community 5.6.583.22881 Access denied

Francesco Formichella — Wed, 23 May 2012 13:44:00 GMT

I don't see a relationship between the users have reported this exception ... all these users have the same role active ... so it's not a subset of users.

The only thing reported by the user is that the page show an "access denied" after they click on the link received via email ... No, I don't know if a widget interfers with the platform but the changepassword.aspx page doesn't have any widget installed.

I have a similar problem with the edituser.aspx and settings.aspx pages ... some users cannot access to these pages.

Forum Post: RE: Saving content from closed groups

Patrick Mason — Wed, 23 May 2012 13:16:00 GMT

You have a couple of options right off the bat that I can think of.

First there is no direct archiving built in so you are going to have to get fancy with configuration or write some code. Also my suggestions assume you are running the latest 5.5 hotfix.

***Try these in a development environment first so they can be tested!!***

Code-Less Manual Option

You can take the groups you want to archive and change them all private-unlisted groups. You are not deleting them, but hiding them from most of your community. Downside here is existing members an admins will still see the group. I think this ok for admins but you may want to follow these steps:

1. Add a system admin as an owner(of your choice)

2. Remove all other members

3. Edit the group to be private unlisted

This is a tedious manual process but should work without any code.

DB Option

This depends on what you want to do with your data. If you don’t need it in a pretty form, you need it “just in case” you could just take a backup of the database, archive it and then delete groups. I would also take a snapshot of the website files and store as well in case you need to stand that version of the site up again. You at least at that point have the data stored should you need to reference it.

Code Option

We do have some opportunity to extract data using the REST Api (http://telligent.com/community/developers/w/wiki/forum.aspx) but I will admit in 5.5 your options may be limited in terms of being able to get all your data.

You could also use SQL or internal code, but it gets trickier and more involved. I also don’t recommend this is it could cause other issues. If you wanted to look at that I recommend you opt for the DB Option I suggested first and do all your operations against that backup/site.

Hope this helps some

Subject: [Bugs and Issues - Telligent Community] Saving content from closed groups

Dear Community.

At our community cancerforum we have decided to close down all of our inactive groups. But is it possible to save all content from those groups, particurlarly forum posts/ threads, so that we can use it for future documentation and if so how does one do that?

We are using Telligent Community version 5.5 by the way if that has any relevance.

Best Regards

Patrick Mason — Wed, 23 May 2012 12:31:00 GMT

Gary-

I just tried the original code on this site in my 6.1 install in Chrome and did not have any issues. Based on the bug I found this would have been in 6.1 as it was corrected prior to its release.

Any chance you could share your particular code? You send it to me directly, I believe you have my email. If not please let me know.

Forum Post: RE: Moved groups, lost forum posts

Cheryl M — Tue, 22 May 2012 17:55:00 GMT

Michael, as you suggested, the posts are still in the forums (phew!), so I won't worry too much about the links in the activity stream not working, as we're hoping to remove those and just have the list of forum posts going forward.

That brings me to a new question -- is there any way to remove the "Home" tab on a group? I'd like people to go straight into the forums (only for certain groups, which do not have any other applications associated with them except the forums). I know I can remove the Application Navigation widget, but then I lose the "New Post" button. Is there any way around this? For some reason, our Quick Post widget does not include Forums in it, so I need a workaround until I can get that part sorted out.

Cheers,

Cheryl

Forum Post: RE: Upgrade to CS6 failed

Rob101 — Mon, 21 May 2012 20:53:00 GMT

Fixed it by messing with SQL and moving the actual LiveWriter created files into the new location in the CFS that they are stored at. All old images render, all new images render and are stored in the right place for 6.1. All good now.

Forum Post: RE: Post upgrade 6.1 - CFS not rendering posts created using LiveWriter

Rob101 — Sun, 20 May 2012 10:43:00 GMT

All old LiveWriter generated content fixed by doing a SQL UPDATE to the te_blog_posts tables Body and FormattedBody columns, replacing a specific string with another string for each user that A) blogs and B) has blogged using Live Writer

Copy the images from their existing locations in the cfs-CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles\<BLOGUSERNAME> folders to 00-00-00-00-07-metablogapi (this may be different on your system, its where I detected LvieWriter pasting content for my user account and just stuck with it)

Example string to search for and the replacement string:

Search for: cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/<BlogUser>

Replace with: cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-00-07-metablogapi

Note: If any of your blog usernames have an underscore such as blog_user, write it as blog_5F00_user

This may not be the correct way to reorganise the files but as long as the user who owns 00-00-00-00-07 isn't deleted, it's allowed me to move forward. Dumping everything there and pointing all old LiveWriter content for all blog users to its location should be ok as long as 00-00-00-00-07 never disappears. Maybe someone can volunteer a more resilient path to move these images too?

Here's the SQL I used to sort the problem out.

-- List a users blog posts containing embedded images

select Users.UserName,* from dbo.te_Blog_Posts as posts

inner join dbo.cs_Users as users on posts.userid = users.userid

where body like '%cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles%'

and Posts.userid = (select UserID from dbo.cs_Users where username like '%bloguser%') -- rem this AND to get posts containing this strong from all users

-- Clean up references to old LiveWriter locaton and replace with new Location for a specific user

-- Change the @myvar variable to the blog user to be modified

DECLARE @myvar as varchar(20)

SET @myvar = 'bloguser' -- Change this to the user you want to update

UPDATE dbo.te_Blog_Posts

SET Body = replace(Body, 'cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/'+@myvar,'cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-00-07-metablogapi'),FormattedBody = replace(FormattedBody, 'cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/'+@myvar,'cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-00-07-metablogapi')

YMMV - Do this on a lab copy of your site, I did it using Hyper-V and snapshotting so I could roll back when I messed up.

The control is working fine in all browsers except IE 7, in IE 7 when you do .val() the string that is returned is badly formated.
