is it possible to install 2 different Rapido versions on the same solution?

And then have 2 websites on that solution, that uses different Rapido versions ?

Best regards Christoffer

Hi Christoffer,

You will have to do some tweaks in the templates as the path to the folder (Rapido) is hardcoded in the MasterPage and the Less_XX.config files.

Other than that, it is possible. I am not sure if this is officially supported, but I have managed to configure 3 different design folders in the same solution.

thanks Adrian.

i have changed some of Rapido file references in the master template and it seems to be working.

regarding the Less_XX.config files, im not sure what files you mean. is it all the less files in the Rapido/css folder i have to look for /Rapido references ?

also if i change some of the less files in the Rapdido/css folder, i would have to compile all the less files to get the css updated ?

Hi Christoffer,

The Less config files have some paths defined:

<LessConfiguration>
  <DesignName>Rapido</DesignName>
  <Minification>true</Minification>
  <WebsiteSettingsVariablesFileOutputPath>Files/Templates/Designs/Rapido/css/rapido/abstracts</WebsiteSettingsVariablesFileOutputPath>
  <LessFilesFolder>/Files/Templates/Designs/Rapido/css/rapido/</LessFilesFolder>
  <VariableFiles>/Files/Templates/Designs/Rapido/css/rapido/_variables_1.auto.less,/Files/Templates/Designs/Rapido/css/base/abstracts/_variables.less</VariableFiles>
  <OutputPath>/Files/Templates/Designs/Rapido/css/rapido/</OutputPath>
  <UseCleanVariableNaming>true</UseCleanVariableNaming>
</LessConfiguration>

You have to edit the ones corresponding to each Area, to point to your folders.

I am not sure if all of those parameters are still used, but you should change all of them just in case.

You can change /Design/Rapido/ to /Design/{your design-folder-name}/

This way the compiled files will be saved in the right location.

ahh yes i see the Less_XX.config files now.

however they are placed outside the designfolders, are they referenced from the Rapido somewhere?

i assume if i change the Less_XX.config files that it will be changed for both Rapido folders ?

Hi Christoffer,

At some point in the life of Rapido, they were used. At least when I made the changes for my project.

I believe it is safe to assume they are still used.

XX is the ID of the Area. You have to use the proper path ti your design for each area.
