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.

- 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).
