  • UK MVP Meet-up

    Much as the arrival of Rich and Rick in Dallas sparked off the Telligent Community Summit back in September, J-O's announcement of his trip to London got the wheels in motion for some of the UK CS professionals to get together, albeit on a slightly smaller scale (well, this is Blighty after all! ). Rich, J-O, Rob (Nash, not Howard!), Nick and myself met up at a rather crowded Wetherspoons, but then went in search of sustenance (and wi-fi). A couple equally squashed bars later, we found a very...

  • CS Beer 1

    Today was really great, not only have I played on CnC 3 Tibriun Wars, b ut I got to meet the really cool MVP's from around London, Really cool metting them all. Started my journey into London on a bad not as the train was running SOOOO late that they bused us up the line to catch it, to avoid it being even later, Turns out that by doing that I was almost ontime, lol. Got to London Paddington @ 18:20 and went and brought a tube ticket. Then walked to the otherside of the station for the tube line...

  • CS Beer anyone?

    Hehe. We're coming to London. 4 CSMVP's, 3 from the UK, and 1 from Norway, will be meeting in London tomorrow, at approx 6.30pm. J-O is the MVP from Norway, who is in London on a Sharepoint server demo in London, and this has caused us in the UK to meet up. Gary, intensive design, will be there, as he lives in London it seems quite simple for him. Rich Mercer will be there (technically an MVP, but also a telligent employee), he is prob nearer to London than me. Then there's me, little...

  • UK Community Server MVP Beer

    So this week I will be in London attending a course in developing on SharePoint 2007. In fact I am in London right now, came here last night. I probably (but you'll never know) won't have the time to write any CS article this week due to this. But it won't be a CS-less week for me. I am meeting up with a couple of CS MVP's that lives in UK for a bite and a drink. Right now it looks like it's going to be Gary McPherson , Nick (Aero Man) Brown , Rich Mercer and me. It'll be fun to meet in real life...

  • How to Write a Good .NET Article

    You see that I publish many articles on .NET communities or my site. During my activity on community as an author I learned some tips about writing articles. So I thought it would be good if I give some tips and guides on writing a good article about .NET programming. Obviously knowing these tips and guides and any other tip is just a helper to improve an article but the main parameter is content! Do I Have Something to Write? Before doing anything you should ask this from yourself: "Do I really...

  • CS 2007 - Adding a Blog Post List to the home page

    It's my 3rd blog post about Community Server 2007 in 2 hours, and this one is a really nice one, alot of code in here. The post is concerned about the home page. ~/Default.aspx. Which is mapped, as discussed in my last post http://www.nbdev.co.uk/blogs/dev_blog/archive/2007/02/25/globally-changing-the-site-theme-in-cs-2007.aspx , to ~/Themes/%theme%/common/home.aspx . This raises a concern with me that you could have multiple homepages, each different depending on the theme. This could be problematic...

  • Globally changing the site theme in CS 2007

    Most of the readers of this blog know about Community Server . Which makes this a little easier, if you don't, then read up on it here Community Server . In CS 2007, telligent have given you the option to change, and configure the theme you are using. Personally I think this was in recognition of aero, but who knows. Changing this theme, ONLY changes the theme for the anonymous user, so you have to either go through each user to change the theme, which can take alot of time, if your site (like...

  • Making CS 2007 XHTML 1.1 Compliant

    I have been looking into this for a while now. You couldn't really do it properly with CS 2.x, because it was based on .net 1.1 tech. But because CS 2007 is based on .net 2.0 tech you can do this. It's really easy actually, so easy even a trained monkey could do it. But for all of us who aren't trained, lol, here's how: Open ~/Web.config find the <system.web> tag, and in there add this: Open ~/App_Browsers/default.browser, and change the highlighted values: Open ~/Themes/%theme...

  • Aero 2007 Beta 1

    Welcome to Commuity Server 2007 Beta 1 + Aero 2007 Beta 1. Yes, Aero 2007 Beta 1 is now online on NB Development , and so is Community Server 2007 Beta 1. Both seem to be running quite well. You will notice that a slight redirection occurs when you load the page after you log in for the first time. This is redirection to reset your theme to Aero 2007. Aero 2007 Beta 1 will be publically available from Sunday. Beta testers are welcome, PM me for an invite into the beta tester team. This role will...

  • Dev Log Date 23.02.07 - Aero 2007 Beta 1 Nears

    It's approaching the time of reckoning. Aero 2007 Beta 1 will go on to NB Development @ 9pm . Beta testers will be able to download beta 1 off the site soon after. If your not a beta tester and would like to be one, open a private message to me, and I'll think about. That is unless you can wait until Sunday @ 9pm . On Sunday @ 9pm, if none of the beta team find any major bugs, beta 1 will be released to the public, with a really BIG warning message in the READ ME file. STATING that it is a BETA product...

  • CS Dev Guide: What's New in Community Server 2007 API

    Last week Telligent released Community Server 2007 Beta 1 publicly to let users enjoy the power of this great platform. As you may know this new version is a milestone and comes with major enhancement in comparison with its preceding versions. In addition to some changes that users can feel in user interface there are some other changes in codes and APIs that developers should concern about them. In this short post I want to take a brief look at major changes in Community Server APIs based on what...

  • Where I Used To Work -- MS Charlotte

    TLC forwarded this article about Microsoft Charlotte to me earlier today...it's an interesting read, and I think a lot of folks don't realize that A) Charlotte has an MS hub, B) the MS hub here is huge, and C) is very instrumental to MS's enterprise support offerings. Of course when I worked there, I was the equivalent of a phone janitor (tier 2 developer support...somewhat technical, but nothing like what is mentioned in the article) but the environment itself was electrifying. One day I'll get...

  • Hang Up The Phone And Drive

    I saw the funniest thing driving home today. I pulled up behind a soccer-mom-mobile (and SUV for anyone who has no idea what that means) which had a fairly large bumper sticker with the following text: "Drive now, talk later." The driver was, of course, yakking away on the phone the entire time I was behind him. I don't care if you drive and talk, but if you're going to advertise something at the very least have enough dignity to stand by your convictions. Share this post: bookmark it! | digg it...

  • Community Server 2007 BlogML Converter Beta

    I promised to release my BlogML converter for Community Server 2007 very soon. Before leaving home, today I had some spare time to spend on my converter and upgrade it to Community Server 2007 Beta 1 and add some features. For a few months some features were in my TO ADD list for next version. Thank to Jon Galloway and Dan Hounshell for their great feedbacks, this new converter is more compatible with common blog data and has less issues to work on servers. First of all I updated my converter code...
