Hey Guys,

Bad news! We have keep using .TEXT a little while longer - hopefully just another 1/2 day! It has now turned out that data migration was the least of my migration issues. As far as we can tell they so tightly integrated all sections of community server that we’re going to be forced to do some major modifications due to the fact we do not want to run all sections of CS and the out of the box solution will break all blog URL’s and our site for that matter. It is beyond me why they designed it that way? I mean really, we just want the Blog engine (right now) and can’t without a rehaul.

But the good news is I have a tentative line of attack for the mods. and will be implementing them first thing in the morning. I think it’s basically going to come down to some tricky URL remapping to trick their runtime.

Anyway, sorry I couldn’t get it up today! If anyone has any experience doing what we need to do please contact me!

SqlJunkies.com WebLog's are going to be taken offline within two hours for an unspecified amount of time but should not exceed 8 hours. We will be updating our engine to the Community Server :: Blogs http://www.communityserver.org/blogs/ which promises to be a great engine.

This is just a warning so you can get anything posted you need to now. I'll be doing a 5 minute warning right before i take you offline!

Thanks,

Donny

Hello All,

I finally have an update. Last week was very hectic with a move etc. but i JUST (as in right now) was able to successfully migrate SqlJunkies.com WebLogs to community Server Blogs! The full migration isn't finished on my local computer, but if successful I'll be taking down SqlJunkies.com Blogs tomorrow and running the full upgrade. Depending on how long that takes I may move on to DNJ or wait until the following day. Regardless, we should be up within a day / 2!
