Rainbow Portal Community

In follow up to this: As Yannik showed me , FireBug is a much more powerful tool than IE developer toolbar, however it is still limited by the fact that it is not hosted in IE. So alas, I need both tools.

Why not look at what filip did with RLINQ which is Rainbow also? He pretty much painlessly switched out a zen theme with a master page implementation, and requires very minimal code or touch anywhere else. The template pieces of a zen theme, fit perfefctly into a master page incarnation. You still have to control css and stuff, but thats for ...

Does anyone know what might have happened to the old wiki site and documents? http://support.rainbowportal.net/confluence/ There was a lot of guides, and documentation that I used to refer people to as help guides, and that site seems to be offline. I recieved 2 IM's from 2 seperate new rainbow users who were trying to get started. And the ...

Hello Everyone,  I would like to know if anyone is interested in taking over the adminstration and set up of RainbowBeta.com? This past year, i have become increasinly busy at work, and my time simply has not allowed me to devote sufficient resources to keeping the site up to date, and with the latest version.I will continue to host and pay ...

Configure in web.config is not as conveinant as configure DB. MagicURLS allows your users to create freindly urls, in combination with a page definition when you create / edit pages.

Isnt this what MagicURLS were for in Rainbow? And friendly URLS? We just have to get it working again, instead of using Default.aspx it should use friendly page names.aspx. Or am I missing something? That you want more?

Yes, as Yannik pointed out, Firebug is more feature rich but of course it is a FireFox tool. I imagine as the IE toolbar is supported futher it will catch up in features quickly, but mainly, its in IE, which is what is most important to me and most my users.

Update, my menu is starting to look pretty close to the original zen sample. It also renders equally fast and well in both ie7 and firefox, i will check ie6 when i get to work tommorow, but it should be ok. There are currently a small number of errors on the page that are preventing it from validating proper xhtml, but those have to do with ...
