Rainbow Portal Community

Update on rainbow:  Ive got multiple blog entrys Im working on about rainbow.  They will include topics from installation to current status to the future.  Ive got these in word and perfecting them for the community.  For now, Im going to share my raw thoughts on a framework I came upon.I would like to devote this blog entry to ...

Rahul and I are doing a lot of work to show the power of Rainbow.  Just by using the plain HTML document module or the component module, one could do some powerful things.  Rahul has created a module feature page.  Enough, I begin with google.Ive been trying to think of something cool to integrate with Google.  I chose google ...

I just grabbed the new 1.5.  I havent tested it on 1.1 but it looks pretty promising with a ton of new features.  I managed to compile it on the 2.0 framework but it stil had the same issue as before.  For some reason the themes/skins/images dont load.  The raw functionality is working but I'll have to play with it to get it ...

I just recently played with CruiseControl.NET and decided to use it in future releases [ starting in two weeks..maybe sooner] for Rainbow Portal 2.0.  Long story short, CCNET allows for agile integration development and is prime for open source projects.  I posted a blog entry on GWB on my plans to use it with rainbow and a description ...

The admins and I have been discussing our new cool core and its data store.  In my studying for this, I went and took a look at the lib IBATIS which I keep hearing about [ thank you rahul].  IBATIS allows you to use either raw sql or sprocs to connect to any db thereby forever giving you solid connectivity to [multiple/any]dbs.  Our ...

I am in frequent discussions with the flexWiki guys and they have been most helpful.  They plan to add many new options as the time comes.  However, Today I figured out a bug which was occuring on XP SP2 across my 2.0 applications.  It had to do with security and privs [which is always my errors] and I was able to load ...

I am in the hunt for a 2.0 open source wiki or at least a solid 1.1 .  I looked around for about 3-4 hours last night and tried a few and was able to convert FlexWiki to 2.0 without too much trouble.  I am currently looking into the features and right of the back, I dont like the UI.  I want more of a user system for full ...

First Membership:   We are moving pretty quickly with ASPNETDB full integration with rainbow.  I have installed and tested a build that used a RBSQLMembership provider and ignored tables rb_users, rb_roles and another table that escapes me right now.  However, the MGF team has been doing an amazing job in investing their time ...

SubText , an awesome open source blog written in C# by Phil Haack , went final 3/4/2006 for .NET 1.1.  What did this mean to me?  A cool blog module to replace our current old one in Rainbow 2.0.  I had planned to revamp the old rainbow module using joe audette[hope i  got the spelling]'s updated version but SubText is an very ...

A user has been in contact with me for getting a new 2.0 version of yaf into rainbow.  He has already had success of creating a user control entry point for the web app and runs it like a normal module.  He informs me that he is cleaning up the known bugs he found and will be submitting it to me soon.  For now here is a screen ...
