MCMS 2002 Article Rollup: Solve Authoring, Rendering, +more

There have been a handful of MCMS 2002 knowledge base articles posted on Microsoft’s support site in the last few weeks:

• FIX: Authors may receive authoring error messages when they perform any authoring action after an author deletes a page that stored on a large Content Management Server 2001 database
• FIX: The import may fail when you try to import certain SDO package files in MCMS 2002 Service Pack 1a
• FIX: Error message when you render a placeholder in edit mode and when you change the focus from an Internet Explorer browser window to any other open window in MCMS 2002: “Object Expected”
• FIX: The attachment is stored as an unmanaged link when the file name contains a letter that has a grave accent in MCMS 2002 Service Pack 2 and in MCMS 2002 Service Pack 1a
• FIX: You may not see parts of a Web site after you import an .sdo file that contains updates to connected postings in MCMS 2002 Service Pack 2

After upgrading to CMS 2002 SP2, maybe you still want to kick the tires of Woodgrove for some reason… I’m really wondering why, but that’s beside the point. Today I had to. There’s a great HOWTO on Spece’s MCMSFAQ site explaining how to go about upgrading Woodgrove. Only thing is there’s a lot of manual work to do in the code. After running through it, I’ve zipped up the source of the WoodgroveNet site (by default found in the Sample Data directory in the CMS installation directory) after making these changes to save you some time from having to run through this task:

• MCMSFAQ.com: Upgrading the WoodgroveNet Sample Site
• Upgraded Woodgrove sample CMS site to ASP.NET 2.0 (C#):

I’ve also updated my MCMS 2002 SP2 resources page with this info & updated links to all the KB’s that have been released (previously they were just pointing to Stefan Goßner’s blog).
