Blog moved to Mephisto
Our blog is now using Mephisto (0.7.2). I had a few problems getting the conversion to behave. I have tested the comments and everything seems to be working fine.
For those that are interested, I had a few issues converting our blog from Typo. Here are some tips on how to convert it.
- The typo conversion does not import the sections / categories. I had to add the categories manually and re-allocate all the articles to the categories.
- All of the user were converted, but the admin user was allocated to all the articles.
- The layout system can be a bit of a pain, especially working on the home page. Some times you need to delete the index.html to see the changes.
- The wiki is ok as a resource, the google group is better.
- Here is a snippet of our layout.liquid template that contains code for the sidebar to display monthly archive, category archive and last 5 comments.
- {{ comment.author }} on {{comment | link_to_article: article.comment }}
- {{ section.name }} ({{section.articles_count }})
Recent Comments
{{ site | latest_comments:5 | assign_to:"comments" }}
-
{% for comment in comments %}
{% endfor %}
Categories
-
{% for section in site.sections %}
{% endfor %}
{% if section.months.size > 0 %}
{% endif %}
