Rainbow Portal
Rainbow's core architecture provides user authentication, internationalization (there are currently 14 supported languages), and a customizable roles-based authorization system that allows content authoring to be safely delegated to multiple team members who need little or no knowledge of HTML.Rainbow also supports a two-step approval process where content is first posted to a staging server and then migrated to the production server after approval. The Rainbow architecture provides an easy mechanism to add new functionality as portal 'modules'.More than 45 modules are included in the standard release. The initial Rainbow design, based on Microsoft's IBuySpy (IBS) portal kit, has been significantly enhanced and improved by a global team of volunteers.Most IBS users either quickly outgrow its simple functionality, or become frustrated finding and applying the various patches and enhancements available on the net.Migration to Rainbow is a natural evolution. Rainbow C# classes extend standard ASP.NET objects providing a consistent method for developing custom pages and custom controls.For example, a lot of the drudgery needed to create a custom module in IBuySpyis replaced by Rainbow core objects that inherit from ASP.NET's Page. All pages are constructed from dynamically-loaded user controls.Server controls provide clean code/html content separation Uses ADO.NET data access with Microsoft SQL Server stored procedures.Includes a tool to automatically create the stored procedures and C# data access layer for new modules Configurable caching of portal page regions and portal settings provides excellent scalability. Supports a wide range of clients Rainbow supports Internet Explorer v.5.0 and later and Netscape v4.7 and later.Rainbow also supports mobile devices through WAP/WML.Most modules allow for customized (abbreviated) content to be delivered to mobile modules.
