http://cwilliams.textdriven.com/articles/2005/08/01/upgrading-to-the-latest-typo en-us 40 Ruby. Rails. Stuff. <p>I've been reading about a number of significant improvements to the Subversion HEAD of <a href="http://typo.leetsoft.com" title="Typo">Typo</a>, so I decided to give upgrading a shot.</p> <p>The imminent release of Typo 2.5 includes the sidebar/plugin patch created by <a href="http://scottstuff.net" title="Scottstuff">Scott Laird</a>, Page Caching, and theming. Please let me know if you see any inconsistencies or problems with the style of the blog now. I tried to quickly port over my old images, layout and styles to a new theme. Also, you should notice this blog being a bit zippier wiht the page caching. Lastly, I'm trying to work out a good way to include the Google ads in the pages. For single-article links, I'd like it if the sidebar ads were not displayed - but I wanted to include the ads as a sidebar static content.</p> <p>I think perhaps a "Dynamic" sidebar plugin would do the trick. It'd work close to the same as a "Static" plugin, but evaluate the ERb that was included. Or a less ambitiuous "Conditional Static" plugin which is only shown on specific controllers or actions.</p> <p>A cautionary note: <code>rake migrate</code> doesn't appear to work in SVN head for Typo when simply executing it from the command-line. You need to start up the server with the new code against the old DB and enter the admin pages, where you'll be prompted to upgrade your database.</p> Mon, 01 Aug 2005 01:46:00 +0000 urn:uuid:45770c840891adca8d3fd681094b4dff chris.a.williams@gmail.com (Chris) http://cwilliams.textdriven.com/articles/2005/08/01/upgrading-to-the-latest-typo Programming Personal Web design Ruby Rails
