One of the weakest points in the HomePortals project is the lack of documentation still. However to address that issue I have been working on setting up a wiki for HomePortals to provide developers with information about the framework, where everything is, and how to develop applications for it.

The new wiki is located at http://wiki.homeportals.net and is powered by the promising CodexWiki from Luis Majano and Mark Mandel. So far I have only been able to complete a few pages on the wiki but work is in progress and hopefully it will be more complete very soon.

Feel free to checkout the wiki and if you have suggestion of topics that you would like to see there please let me know by leaving a comment here.

This post is to announce that a new update to the HomePortals framework is now available. The current version is now 3.0.189.

This update focused on fixing compatibility issues for running in BlueDragon/OpenBlueDragon and for case-sensitive OSes like linux.

The update extends the range of supported CFML engines to:

* Adobe ColdFusion 7 * Adobe ColdFusion 8 * Railo 2 * BlueDragon 7 * OpenBlueDragon

Regarding OpenBlueDragon, the only problem that I still have is running on the VMWare image that has been making the rounds. I still get some weird errors there but not sure if those are related to OpenBlueDragon, Jetty or something else.

As always, testers and bug reports are more than welcome,

Have fun!

I just posted a first draft for the first three chapters of the ColdBricks User's Guide. The documentation can be downloaded from the downloads area within the ColdBricks site.

This draft contains a good overview of the relation between ColdBricks and HomePortals as well as a general overview of how sites are structured in HomePortals.
