Small tweak to fresh theme

April 5th, 2007

Just a few minor tweaks:

  • The theme won’t crash when no sidenotes section exists.
  • the main page now displays comments from all section, not just the home section
  • Added a warning about MySQL only. It currently uses RAND which is very MySQL specific. A more generic solution is coming up within a few days.

    I try install fresh theme, but failure.

    the message is here:

    HAML Error: HAML Error: You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it! The error occurred while evaluating nil.latest_articles

    You need to be using the trunk of Mephisto (not 0.7.3), you need the haml template renderer, and you need the haml plugin (the gem may work).

    There is also a known issue with databases other than MySQL (because of the use of the Rand() function).

    And if you don’t have a Sidenotes section, this will fail with this error (you can either create a section or edit _sidebar.haml).
