Upgrading a Community Server 2007 Blog Theme for Community Server 2008

Use the following procedure to upgrade a Community Server 2007 blog theme for Community Server 2008.

Procedure

1. Search and replace operations in the custom theme files. Use a tool such as EmEditor that can perform search-and-replace operations within files in a folder (including sub-folders) to make the following case-insensitive replacements across all files in the custom themes: 
   • LinkTo="UserPrivateMessages" to LinkTo="UserConversations"
   • LinkTo="PrivateMessage" to LinkTo="SendConversationMessage"
   • ImagesBaseUrl="~/Themes/default/images/common/" to ImagesBaseUrl="~/utility/images/"
   • Src="~/Themes/default/common/UserWelcome.ascx" to Src="~/utility/usercontrols/UserWelcome.ascx"
   • Formatter.Truncate( to Formatter.MaxLength(
   • Formatter.CheckStringLength( to Formatter.MaxLength(
   • Formatter.StripAllTags( to Formatter.RemoveHtml(
2. Remove or replace all <CSFile:> and <CSGallery:> prefixed controls in your custom themes with an appropriate <CSMedia:> prefixed control. Use a search tool to find the following:
   • <CSFile:
   • <CSGallery:
3. Update the following occurrences of inline code:

• Formatter.FormatAgoDate
• Formatter.WhiteSpace
• Formatter.FormatUsername

Telligent recommends that you review the corresponding theme file from one of the Community Server 2008 themes and modify your custom themes accordingly.
