New Podcast with Rabble, Upgraded to Current Typo and Rails 0.14.2

posted Sunday, October 30, 2005 by glyph

A few people mentioned that my RSS feed was not working right, so I got around to upgrading to the latest Typo (from 2.0.something).

It took a few hours (longer than I expected) and required me to tweak the migrations since they try to save all the Articles using the 2.5.6 model (which requires tables that weren’t there in 2.0).

I love the new features and it’s about time that I converted my theme to a real Typo theme instead of just hacked views & styles.

Updated Pluralizer

I also updated the pluralizer to use Rails 0.14.2. You can also send a keyword in the URL to have it pluralized automatically:

Custom Controllers & Pages With Typo Themes

A nice feature that was easier this time is adding your own pages using the current Typo theme. In your controller, do

  layout :theme_layout
  helper :articles

Your new, custom pages will use the same theme and will be updated when you change the theme in the Typo admin.

Podcast with Rabble

Finally, I had a great interview with Rabble, the lead developer at ODEO. Hear it at the Rails Podcast Site.
