i couldn't get the install cmd file to run correctly, so i copied all the stuff into my project manually. i think i got everything right and the solution compiles. however . . . as you can see i screwed something up. i'm using the release 1733 code right now. has anyone had success? i hope a link to latest code. thanks

Hi,

I dont think your problem is the solpart menu.

It looks like you do not have a Default Page Title set up (Which is weird as that should be done by default).

Have a look at the database, table rb_PortalSettings, look for the row that says SITESETTINGS_PAGE_TITLE and Make sure the SettingValue has something there.

Let me know if that fixes it.

Regards,

John

thanks a lot! your reply got me to look into new places . . .

i changed line 577 of page.cs from

returnValue = portalSettings.CustomSettings["SITESETTINGS_PAGE_TITLE"].ToString();

to the line from the old page.cs

returnValue = portalSettings.CustomSettings["TabTitle"].ToString();

and now it's cool.

after looking into rb_portalsettings table, i found no entry for SITESETTINGS_PAGE_TITLE at all. not in my production database or in the fresh version 1733 database. at first i changed to returnValue = "THIS IS A TEST"; and that helped me think to check out the old file, etc.

any ideas where this SITESETTINGS_PAGE_TITLE value is supposed to be coming from? i think it's being read from the wrong collection...

cheers,

Hi,

A contributor (Cant remember his name at the moment.....sorry) has been updating these settings. This might have caused an issue with old versions of Rainbow. i.e. you had an old portal, the entry was added as TabTitle....the code was then updated to SITESETTINGS_PAGE_TITLE but your old portal didnt have this entry (Which is why it fell over).

SITESETTINGS_PAGE_TITLE is the new standard so it might be better for you to change the Table entries rather than the code ;-)

John

i'm using the 1744 source now from the cvs. solpart is already there along with a lot of new stuff. thanks
