Migrate CS 1.0 to 2.0 Beta 2
Just finish upgrading a local IT Pro community (jo-san.IT) from Community Server 1.0 to 2.0 Beta 2 during this X'mas holiday, it (should be) is a pretty strange forward process but it took me more than 6 hours before completion. I tried in my testing machine without problem, but I faced a couple of problems in this migration:
- CS v2.0 B2 doesn't like non-English server: Due to a known bug in CS 2.0, the regional setting (more specifically, the datetime AM/PM settings) will generate an exception in the blog/photo editor.
- Domain name is (still) a headache in CS: No matter what I did on cs_SiteUrl, Web.Config and CommunityServer.config files. (E.g. access the site by IP address but not domain name... blah)
- I understand the Telligent guys try to make the styling/skinning tasks as easy as possible, but it's hard to migrate the old style across editions.
Anyway, communityserver.org is the place for discussion and lots of CS guru out there.
Let me know what you think about this new site, or if any local IT Pro like this x'mas gift. :-)
Thanks for the support, IE7 and Ink testings by Nam. (He's the only one who have TabletPC and online in this X'mas holiday BTW :)
