I am posting this just as a teaser, and to force myself to keep to my word... I have other CS Add-Ons that I will try to release when I get time to package them up. I wrote a few good ones about 6 months ago and have yet to release them. My favorite of the bunch is a "Site Supporter Add-On!"
"Rocket City Web" of the Community Server forums asked if it is possible to limit top posting members to a certain forum. At first, I had though the member points system would be perfect for this. However, Member Points is an add-on and not available for the "Personal Edition" of Community Server. Dave Burke mentioned that you should just add top posting users to a specific Role and grant that Role access. I thought this would be perfect for a CSJob!
I am running a Linksys NSLU2 with the uNSLUng firmware with TwonkyVision Media Server installed. Attached to my NSLU is a standard external 300GB USB drive that holds my MP3s, movies, pictures, etc... On the home theater side of the equation I have the D-Link DSM-520.
I skimmed the Steve Jobs Keynote from Engadget and I must say... that iPhone does look nice! lol.
The first step in administering the users of FileZilla FTP Server with an ASP.NET front end is to get the XML Schema for the config file.
All web developers and designers should know by now that you should not use the traditional <object><embed>... method for placing Flash content on your site. Macromedia (Adobe) recommends using javascript to load the Flash content and it works just fine. However, if you are a .NET programmer and have a lot of flash content it is fairly easy to create a Control that handles the repetitive tasks.
Keyvan Nayyeri wrote up an article (and HttpModule) on how he handles removing the www from the URI when people visit his site. I wrote something similar to this a while back for a site I develop. This particular company has about 10 domain names that all point to the companies main web site. Back in 2000, before I started working for the company, the search engines had indexed all of the domain names. While this may be good I have always been worried about duplicate content in Google's Index.
With (almost) all of my FTP servers now running FileZilla I need a way to maintain users with an easy web based tool. To be more specific, I don't need it, but I delegate the management of FTP users to someone else who does not have remote access to the server, therefore I need it for them.
Finally! Google has finally added the feature of adding waypoints into its mapping product!
I have been running my own web server for a few years now and like everyone who does this I have my own ways to do things. One of the things I wanted to revisit, before setting the new machine out into the wild, was my typical directory structure. While this may seem like a trivial concept to many, things can get out of control quikly when you start throwing in many domains, sub domains, Log files, databases, etc...
