Chrome Broken With IBM ConnectionsRecently, we've had some internal people receiving the following issue when downloading from Connections Files:
As I started to dig into it further, I have found that with Google Chrome 16.0.912.75 (the latest stable release as of today), others are receiving the same error when using other non-IBM products. Of course, Chrome is not supported by IBM for IBM Connections, but up until this latest release there were no problems like we are seeing currently. Workarounds? Wait for Google to patch Chrome or use Firefox or IE (as supported by IBM). |

The Irony in IBM Error Messages...This made me laugh. To some people I'm known as a member of the grammar police, so this error message definitely caught my eye. Yes, I see your bad grammar and I raise you a spell-check... |

iOS5 Notification Center is old news
Is the new Notification Center one of the coolest enhancements for iOS5? No doubt! But is it some stellar Apple innovation? No. But not because many will say it's very similar to Droid Notifications. Rather, it's actually an innovation that comes out of the jailbreak community. You know, those people that Apple doesn't like. So, I think I will be waiting for an untethered jailbreak (there is already a tethered jailbreak available!) to be released for iOS5 before updating my 3GS since the Notification Center would be the biggest enhancement that I would likely see with the 3GS. And from some preliminary reading, it appears that iOS5 may also make the 3GS a little peppier. |

BleedYellow Now Ready for Native Mobile AppsLate last week, IBM submitted apps to the app stores for iOS, Android, and BlackBerry. The Android app was approved extremely fast by Google ("within minutes" I have been told!), but we are still waiting to see approval for iOS and BlackBerry apparently.
Part of the requirements for this was that administrators had to install the "July 2011 Mobile Hotfix" for the mobile component (did you know that you could already go to http In addition to providing additional services for the native apps, this fix also adds the capability to use the Media Gallery and Ideation Blogs from within Communities via the mobile interface.
Thanks IBM for getting some more native apps out there! (P.S. we still can't wait for Sametime!! |

IBM Connections Blogs - Changing Home Page Settings
When you go to the "home page" for Connections Blogs (i.e. http So, what if you want to change some of the homepage settings - where do you do this? With a hat-tip to Luis Benitez for the filename to look for, I'll tell you.
On your filesystem, go to <WAS After making the change, you will need to restart the Blogs service and then ctrl-f5 your browser to reload and clear the page cache. |

UPDATED: Adding Twitter, Google+1, and Facebook Buttons to your Connections (BleedYellow) BlogUpdate: There were some issues with the initial implementation, please remove the original div from the Weblog template and the scripts from the _header template (I've left the information at the bottom of this post) and only use the following information for the implementation. Thanks again to Luis Benitez for code he's used in other implementations. Thanks to the information that Luis Benitez posted about how to add these buttons to the main header, I thought that I would make this just an opt-in task for Bloggers to implement if they cared to do so. In order to do this, you have to customize your blog theme. Under your blogs settings, go to Theme and if your theme isn't already listed as "Custom" then click the Customize button. Then you'll want to go into Templates. Implentation:
In your _day template, locate the line that reads <div clas
<div clas
Immediately after that line, add the following section. You will see that I have bolded lotusnut in two spots below. You will want to change that and make it your blog handle so that the code works properly for your blog posts. If you have any suggestions, let me know! |
