Community Server Email Settings for Exchange 2007

I looked through the Exceptions Reporting section of my website today and saw a whole bunch of "EmailUnableToSend" exceptions! So apparently people out there who have tried to contact me through my Blog Contact Form have been unable to do so, even though it will tell you your message has been...

Apostrophe in Community Server Blog Title

Having an apostrophe in my blog title caused RSS users to receive a wacky title, "Matt Williamson&#39s Blog". Thanks to this post by Adam Toth , I was able to clear that up. Replace the apostrophe in your blog title with the character below.

Not Upgrading to Community Server 2008

I upgraded Bunker Hollow last night, from this current version of CommunityServer 2007 SP2 (Build: 20611.960) to the latest version of Community Server 2008 (4.0something). The update was a little confusing... you have to first download and install a blank version of Community Server 2008, then copy...

Community Server wwwStatus

Community Server has a feature called wwwStatus which by default, removes the "www" prefix from your url when you visit the site by redirecting you to the same page, just minus the dubdubdub. The reason for this is to improve Search Engine Optimization (SEO). The thought being, one person may...

Restoring Community Server 2007 from Backup

I have two scripts that run each morning at 4:00am to backup my Community Server website. One of them creates a full backup of the database and the other makes a copy of the \Web directory. Last night, I decided to upgrade to the latest version of Community Server, 2007.1. I just downloaded the new version...

Community Server - Adding the Control Panel Link for New Users

A good friend just joined my site and I created a blog, a photo gallery, and a download gallery for his own personal use. I assigned him the owner of each. Then, having created a non-admin account for myself, I realized that the instructions to give him for posting a blog entry was more complicated than...

CS2007 Private Message Inbox Notification

Today my blog has made history. A co-worker of mine has joined BunkerHollow to post a comment on one of my posts and in-doing-so he single-handedly doubled my web traffic. Kudos Chris, even though you decided not to post the comment after all. So I sent this new user a private message, he sent me one...

Extending the "What's New" Time-Limit in Community Server

I haven't written a new blog post in a while and I noticed that my "What's New" section has withered away to only two articles. Since I won't be updating this site daily and I don't have anything else on my homepage, I want my "What's New" section to stay full...

Creating a Custom Favicon

The favicon is the little image that appears in the address bar of your web browser. Community Server comes with a default favicon (the tree-man icon) in the web root directory. To use your own, just replace the default with an icon named favicon.ico that you've created. I used Paint to create the...

Community Server File Upload Error

So the first time I try uploading a file to the downloads section of my CS site, I get an error stating "Oops! Something went wrong." I'm sure if I had tried the upload locally on the server I would have gotten a more descriptive error but I had a hunch it was the 30MB size of the file...
