With Community Server, when a registered user makes a blog comment it is very common to show their avatar next to their comment. If the person making the comment is not a registered user, then typically the "anonymous avatar" would be shown. I had gone and implemented an Identicon control for anonymous comments and now I am going another step and implementing a Gravatar.
I was working a new control for the bundle and was in need of a condition control within Community Server that didn't appear to exist. What I needed was a condition control that checked against a WeblogPost's ExtendedAttributes. What I came up with was the "PostExtendedAttributeComparison."
I am working on a control for Community Server where I need to capture the email address of the person making a comment. However, I don't need to store the email address if the person is already a registered member of the site since this information is stored already. What I did was utilize the CustomAction feature for the WeblogPostCommentForm and set the "AuthorEmail" extended attribute.
Now that Community Server 2007 has been out for a while I figured it was time to update the bundle! The Jobs have become Tasks, the Identicon control now has implicit databinding and the CSModules have some little upgrades ;p The new version is now 3.0 to keep in step with the official version of CS2007 3.0
A few members, myself included, are looking for some sort of "content manager" capability with the blog system of Community Server. By "Content Manager" I am meaning that I do not want the individual people to actually make the posts. Rather, I would like to have a "manager" that will publish the post on the authors behalf.
I have been (slowly) working on the Web Based FileZilla Administration project. One of the issues that I could predict happening would be the creation of a user/group/setting and then the end user would leave the page without saving their changes. There are many ways to handle this type of issue, but I wanted a fairly simple implementation.
OK. So I have been in my house for a few weeks now, but I still don't have my home office setup the way I need it. I really need a hand trying to find a good desk that works well as a normal desk as well as a computer desk with my 2 monitors. The only real restrictions that I have is that:
Big thanks to Jeff Atwood for bringing this up! Being an ex-Internet Explorer user I have IE shortcuts etched into my brain. Unfortunately, FireFox didn't bring my favorite one with it. The functionality of the F4 key.
