Installing and Configuring your Rainbow Live XML Editor + CMS
First step is create a folder with the name as you wish. Now you can upload all files inside this folder. You will receive one SWF file, 3 PHP files for alternative FTP and a read-me.txt.
Well, you can create your custom INDEX file to your ‘Rainbow.swf’ file. Now you can access Rainbow.swf or your custom INDEX file. When you load the page will require Login and Password, the DEFAULT is:
Username: admin
Password: password
When you load the main page will see at first time the Project window, here you will create XML, import your own local file and edit this file so simple. But after uploaded and logged you must go to second step, add your registration code and configure your FTP access.
Go to Preferences tab, will show you Settings items. The first item is Registration. Click on arrow and set ‘domainkey’ your registration code, you can get your own on Rainbow Site.
After that you can change FTP access, it will able you to edit online your XML file. To edit it you may go to Preferences > FTP and change the ‘ftphost’ to your domain ftp, ‘ftpmode’ continue normal, ‘ftpusername’ is your FTP username and last ‘ftppassword’ is your FTP password, close this window and click on SITE option, you may change your ‘rainbowfolder’ example: “httpdocs/rainbowFolder/”, after that close the SITE window and click in SAVE (top-right window).
Rainbow Live XML Editor can create or edit only one XML file, one XML for one project. When you create one file, by Default, it is located on folder DATA/ inside folder that you install Live Rainbow but you have a choice to edit it and change the location of the file.
Editing XML file
It’s so simple, you can create nodes using “+” Plus button or add @attributes and images using right arrow, when you click will appear one window with all options, you can change add one attribute or CDATA text.
