Dove sta la documentazione di CommunityServer??

Ultimamente ho affrontato l'installazione di CommunityServer e sto iniziando la personalizzazione per adattarsi, sia graficamento che funzionalmente, alle esigenze del cliente che ce l'ha richiesto.

E mi sto scontrando con la mancanza di informazioni a riguardo: e anche aver comprato la licenza commerciale con incluso il supporto non ha migliorato la situazione. Ci sono funzionalità aggiuntive, un supporto tramite forum dedicato, ma niente più.

Le uniche info che si trovano sono sul wiki dedicato agli sviluppatori. Ma queste sono un po' datate, poco utili, oppure molto scarne (ad esempio, guardate la pagina che dovrebbe spiegare gli Add-on).

Oppure c'è un blog ufficiale, Community Server Daily News, che raccoglie ogni giorno link a blog esterni o a messaggi del forum.

Un po' poca documentazione su come estendere un prodotto!!! (e ancora peggio se si pensa che la licenza commericale costa dal 1.500$ ai 9.000$).


UPDATE:Since this post has been linked from the official Community Server Daily News blog, I'm translating it in English

In the last few days I installed CommunityServer and I'm starting to personalize it, in order to fit, both grapically and with features to what our client wants.

And I'm facing the lack of documentation about this extensibility: and having the commercial license doesn't help. It provides a few more features, a dedicated support with a forum, but no more docs.

The only "offical" documentation is available on a wiki for developers. But the info here are outdated, not very usefull, ore very short (this his a page that is supposed to explain what an Add-on is).

Then there is the official blog, Community Server Daily News, that every day collects links and resources from external blogs or from the forum.

Definitely too little documentation on how to extended such a product!!! (and even worst, the commercial license for this software starts from 1.500$ to 9.000$).

We are informed, in Italian, that we can do a better job with documentation. Here's a Google Translation. Thanks for blogging this. We hear you transmitting on all frequencies and in all known languages. We're working on it, I promise.

This image generation module is a real pain. Please adjust it to be readable. :)

Indeed, CS documentation for developers is not as good as intended to be. Mostly because the amazing tempo of changes don't let time to its designers and developers to document it. I'm sure things are gonna change soon, once CS will grow and become a reference product in its class.

At the moment, the only way you can use is to take some time for study and go through the code step by step. It's not easy, but not impossible. :)

Good luck,
Lucian

Lucian, unfortunately I cannot change the "image generation module" since this is an hosted blog and I don't have access to the server to fix this well-know problem.

CS is already a "reference product in its class"... as DotNetNuke is...
but DNN has tons of documentation...

As for going through, that's what I'm doing right now :-)
