My Favorite New Community Server 2008.5 SP1 Feature

I inadvertently blogged about this new CS2008.5 SP1 feature last week after encountering an error using the post editor's Insert Media selector.  As I described in that post, the fix was adding theme.config information to support the new media handling properties.


 


This function should probably fall in the category of "it's the small things...", but it can be very useful in managing the display of images on your community site.  There's a lot of intelligence behind the scenes in image handling here, so it's a real time saver if you need to reproduce it on your site from scratch. I'm able to use this right away for one of my clients who was asking for it.  That guy is such a lucky spud!

Regarding the Community Server 2008.5 SP1 update list which I mentioned that I hadn't yet seen, I stumbled on CS2008.5 SP1 Release Notes.txt in the CS2008.5 SP1 Update download.  Dang stuff's always in the last place you look!  I thought I'd post it for those interested in CS2008.5 SP1 Enhancements and Bug Fixes.

Okay, Afscrome.  Nice doc.  But I'm not going to give it a thumbs-up because you broke blogging protocol and didn't wait a full 60 minutes before correcting me. Smile

Hey Dave, is that rule that I haven't broken yet?  I promise, I'll try harder.  Smile

You make up for it in bluntness and the details you provide in proving me wrong, so you're doing just fine.  I do appreciate the extra effort though!

Thanks for noticing. This "small fix" was long overdue.

Hey, Josh!  As a fellow developer I appreciate how things that seem like "small fixes" are really a much bigger deal, which I tried to stress in the post.  I'm wondering how many other blogging platforms provide similar media post handling? I suspect not many.

Thanks for stopping by!

But I didn't.  You posted at 6:52, and I posted at 08:19 Dave.  That's one hour and 27 minutes (or 87 minutes) and 87 > 60.

Okay, okay.  I'll go back and give the doc some luv.  I was waiting for you to call me on that.  I can't get away with anything between you and Bosacker keeping tabs on me. Smile
