This will be corrected in the first Service Pack for Community Server, but this is the updated CS.Controls.dll that has the first time edit content part fix.

CS Recent Blog Post Sidebar

Bill Robertson — Sun, 24 Sep 2006 09:08:05 GMT

This is a UserControl I wrote because I wanted to show the most recent posts for a specific blog littered throughout my site. Place this control in a directory and reference it like a regular user control.

<%@ Register TagPrefix="BR" Src="~/UserControls/RecentPostsSideBar.ascx" TagName="RecentPostsSideBar" %>
<BR:RecentPostsSideBar id="fdr_rp" runat="server" EnableViewState="false" Title="Recent Podcasts" AppKey="podcast" />

AppKey -- the name of the blog you want the most recent posts to appear.
Title -- the text for the header of the content area.
PageSize -- the number of records to show, defaults to 5.

The snippet above will pull the most recent 5 posts from the blog called "podcasts" and display them with the title of Podcast.

Let me know what you think.
