News from Typo edge
I have updated this blog engine in order to install the recently added Feedburner support. My recent post about Rails heroes RSS feeds clearly showed me that feedburner was a must have as everybody is using it. Feedburner gives you an idea of your RSS traffic.
Here are some more recently added features to Typo:
- Feedburner support, see also here for a discussion about that subject
- Dynamic url system
- Top commentators plugin
More info, for French readers, here
I encountered some small issues during this update. Here they are, so you can avoid them.
Install
Since my last post about Typo installation from git, the plugin management has changed. Typo now uses gems. Therefore, to install locally Typo, the process is now:
git clone git://github.com/fdv/typo.git
sudo gem install htmlentities coderay json calendar_date_select
sudo gem sources -a http://gems.github.com
sudo gem install datanoise-actionwebservice mislav-will_paginate
Rake db:migrateYou can still manage the plugins such as related content or recent comments using git submodules.
Routes
Some routes have changed. Therefore, you will probably need to update your theme. For instance: in theme/views/articles_comment_form.html.erb I replaced:
comments_path(@article)
by
@article.comment_url
and
preview_new_comment_path(@article)
by
@article.preview_comment_urlFor the live search: in theme/views/shared_search.html.erb I replaced:
{ :controller => 'live', :action => 'search' }
by
live_search_articles_urlCache
This is about Typo edge. It is not supposed to be a stable version. So use with caution! Right now the cache needs some improvement which should be done soon. Temporarily, I have disabled it by commenting in app/model/blog_sweeper.rb the line:
observe Category, Blog, User, Article, Page, Categorization, Comment, TrackbackAbout recent news, Matijs van Zuijlen has joined the Typo core team.
Thanks a lot to the Typo core team, Fred, Cyril and Matijs, for their excellent work and also for their extremely reactive support.

Read your Rails Heroes
Ruby on Rails is moving fast. So you need to stay tuned to Rails news. What is best than reading RoR heroes’ blogs ? Yep, nothing.
To help you, Railsinside has on its home page a list of Rails heroes. Unfortunately, as the links link toward their blogs and not towards their RSS flow, it might be tedious to add all the flows to your reader. And sometimes it is not immediate to understand where the flow is hidden.
It is only recently that I have added all these flows to my reader. In order to facilitate you the work, here is the Railsinside list of Rails heroes with links to their RSS flow. For some of them, I have not found the flow. If you know their address, please leave it in the comments. A few more flows will be suggested as a bonus. All these flows are added to my public netvibes page. Check it to have a look at what it looks like to be so close to all these minds.
- James Adam
- Fabio Akita
- Ryan Bates
- David A Black
- Jamis Buck
- Hampton Catlin
- Ryan Davis
- Robert Dempsey
- Jamie van Dyke
- Obie Fernandez
- Geoffrey Grosenbach
- David Heinemeier Hansson
- Amy Hoy
- P J Hyett
- Yehuda Katz
- Tobias Lütke
- Rick Olson
- Gregg Pollack
- Luke Redpath
- Jason Seifer
- Josh Susser
- Chris Wanstrath
- Evan Weaver
- Dr Nic Williams
- Ezra Zygmuntowicz
Let’s add to this RoR’s blog, Railsinside and Rubyinside:
Some other great flows I have in my list are:
- PullMonkey
- Igvita
- Railstip
[EDIT] Added thanks to the comments: - Ryan Daigle
[EDIT] Here is the OPML for all the previous RSS flows. Using this file you can import the links into your preferred RSS reader.
[EDIT] Thanks to Luke the list is now complete. And in case, like me, you did not know this Firefox feature, at the right of the url bar you have a star and a orange wave sign (the RSS logo). Just click on it to get the RSS flows that are ‘hidden’ (or not finally ;-) ) in the blog. Star is to fave the blog.
Then, I won’t resist to recommend you my flow ;-)
And finally for French readers:
Let me know in the comments if you see any problem with the links or if you know one of the missing links. Also, if you have a blog about Rails activities, you are welcome to leave a link to your RSS flow. I might add the best ones to this list.
Happy reading.
PS Other Rails resources
PPS Doing this, I was amazed by the number of feeds going through feedburners. But if you are interested by stats about your feed you need to use it. So, I guess I will have to use it too.
