Rainbow Portal Community

This forum will be for discussion on the latest 1.1 production code.  We can find other versions and compare with this one to see what should be solid in the 1.1 code.  Some users have expressed that they have versions that perform well and Im opened to ideas.


Moving on :

  The only issue that I came across was that modules settings do not display text for buttons in english.  Thats pretty much it.  Pretty nice issue.  Funny thing is that if you switch to another lang ( say french my fav) it works :).  Im pretty sure its either the resx file or something small in the loading.  Furthermore, the lables with the english do show up so its not a real problem.

If you are referring to the version you suggest to use in your blog, I found another Bug that I mentioned in this thread.

If recycler is turned on this error occurs: "UPDATE statement conflicted with COLUMN FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK_rb_Modules_rb_Tabs'. The conflict occurred in database 'databasename', table 'rb_Tabs', column 'TabID'."

The stored procedure rb_DeleteModuleToRecycler moves the deleted modules to TabId = 0 to make them vanish from the UI. But in a new installation, TabId 0 does not exist. So the Update fails.

<snip from stored proc> 
UPDATE rb_Modules
SET TabID = 0
WHERE ModuleID = @ModuleID
</snip>

Someone to contact John Bowen to fix this ;-)

Well, whenever I'm confused, I just check my underwear. It holds the answer to all the important questions. (Abe Simpson)

This has been fixed in the 1.1 dev code (as of Rainbow version 1.6.0.1880, at least)

Thanks for the answer.

As i see, the version that ramseur provided is not the one you're talking about? (1.6.0.1880f instead of 1.6.0.1880)

Everybody is pushing to use 1.6 release instead of 1.5. So what 1.6 release do I have to use? Where can I find it? - I'm thinking about using my old 1.5 Version that I have in production for new projects...

Can anyone please create something like a RoadMap / Releasehistory with the proper namings and provide a list of versions to download that can go into production. That would be really helpful to me. (And I would love it to be on www.rainbowportal.net or community.rainbowportal.net, since those are the pages people like me visit for more information.)

Thank youse

Sorry, I'd love to see a roadmap like you're describing too, but I'm not the guy that can provide one.  I'm working with 'the latest' dev code for 1.1, and that's what I used for the limited testing I described. 

I don't think there is much coding being done (publicly, at least), especially on the 1.1 code.  Almost all of it exists exactly as it did when moudrick migrated it months ago. 

I just tested this in the version I released and it works.  Tab 0 is present on install and the recycler works fine.  Are you sure you did a fresh install or did you just link the code?  I am going to post some screen shots of it soon.  BTW, the version I released is F and more recent than what Bowen and I run in production for rainbow.  Moudrick took the latest 1.1 and it was fixed even more by some 1.1 developers.  I just took it straight and compiled it, made sure it worked, fix a small role issue, packed and released it.

Hi and thanks.

Sorry I made such a fuss. I just saw a post of jbowen yesterday about the "unused portal" and the recycler module. I didn't know that and deleted the "unused portal".

So I did a fresh install and this time I did not delete the "unused portal". Everything works as advertized. Shame on me.

Thanks for your help anyway and keep up the good work!

I have to of course edit the date to Q4/06 - Q1/07

I updated the download section of rainbowportal.net to show this release as the recommended download at: http://rainbowportal.net/site/3326/download.aspx

Can you make it easier to see which is the recomended one?  Its kinda hard to see.  Also the one at sourceforge  is older then my version and gives users problems.

Put stable by Rainbow 2006 and old by Rainbow 2005. Alpha shoud speak for itself.
Link for Rainbow 2005 should point to http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/rainbowportal/Rainbow15Release.zip?download

There is no "my version" but the version at sourceforge or the version at novell.
