Community Server Service Pack 1 With Multiple Communities
Here are my notes for upgrading to Service Pack 1 when using the multiple community setup described in this article:
Community Server - Setting Up Multiple Communities.
- Run the update SQL script that comes with SP1.
- Copy all the new files to the CS Web folder. I'm working with the source and it is in Subversion, so I exported the CommunityServerWeb20 (Internal) to the Web folder on the server. Then I manually copied all the bin files. If you are building from source, note these tips:
- use right version of config files - for ASP.NET 2.0, you have to copy the config files from the ASP.NET2_configs folder.
- set the build type to release in Visual Studio.
- add a reference to CommunityServerWeb20 (Internal) for lib/Framework2/CommunityServer.ASPNet20MemberRole.dll
- Copy Web/blogs folder to each community. (See the original article for details.) I deleted all files in the target folders, but I made sure I did not delete the placeholder folders for user created blogs. Then I copied all the new files.
- I don't believe files and photos folders had any files that changed, so I didn't make any changes to those folders.
- According to my original article, each community has completely independent themes.
- I had customized the site skins for some communities, so I only copied the SP1 changed files to each community. These are the files I copied into the appropriate folder in each community:
- /Web/Themes/default/Skins/Skin-Editor-Enhanced.ascx
- /Web/Themes/default/Skins/Skin-Editor-Standard.ascx
- I had added some custom blog skins, but I had not customized any existing blog skins. Therefore, I copied the entire /Web/Themes/Blogs folder to each of my communities.
- I had customized the site skins for some communities, so I only copied the SP1 changed files to each community. These are the files I copied into the appropriate folder in each community:
- I did not detect any changes to any of the config files with the changes in SP1. Therefore, I did not alter my custom config files for each community. However, I did alter the trust setting as described in my earlier article.
