Community Server Byte for May 19, 2007

Bill Bosacker will soon feel the love of being Community Server Calendar Control Man, with a forthcoming CS2007 Calendar inspired by Dan Bartel's very popular Calendar Control.
Not that I'll ever feel the love Bill will, but I started a CS Queensryche series on a Calendar blog that displays posts by calendar date or date range rather than by post date.
Kyle Beyer with a Chameleon tip on how to customize the Pager CSLinkData control.
Ben Tiedt with a guide that is required reading (minimum three reads) for all Community Server developers. Chameleon Base Classes.
Keyvan describes how to create an archive page. I don't see much value in the archive display-by-month listing, but Keyvan's post is also a useful guide on creating a new CS2007 page.
Jose is starting to crank out some excellent Morpheus documentation, as in this Morpheus Integration Scenarios cs.org wiki article.
Ken says he's working on a series of posts on explaining how to use Single Sign On modules in various scenarios. If you have scenarios you'd like to see covered, let Ken know! I'm voting for "additional profile information" and "common gotchas with Forms Authentication."
Ken's Qgyen.Lightbox for CS2007 is ready for download.
If you want to get involved and pick up some street cred in the CS developer community, check out Keyvan's new Community Server Extras project on CodePlex.
Tom Lynch with a new "Dark Theme" for CS2007. Link provided to the WordPress version.

Andrew Orange out of the UK is looking for CS2007 freelance designers.
Paperino shows how to display the technorati link count widget with Chameleon.
Ken on how to eliminate the license infringement flag on the mail gateway. I've encountered this myself. Good tip!
I'd say Phosphorous correctly described this CS2007 bug as "nasty," when creating a new role, assigning it to a forum, then deleting the role results in a "role not found" error that makes the site unuseable. Phosophorous is good enough to provide the fix if you find yourself in that situation.
"Parameter name: relativeUrl. Value cannot be null" is saying, "you mucked up your SiteUrls.config, pal."
Jcummins shares why he couldn't login to his site after changing the web.config authentication mode to "none."
Kenton successfully implements an AJAX Framework 2.0-enabled app in Community Server.
Ben on how to make the User Avatar linkable. There goes another hour developers can't bill for anymore.
ScottW adds a new task for OfficialCommunity's idea of an ImagesBaseUrl property or themable thumbnails for the rating control.
