Instantrails users - Nov 2005 - Typo 2.6.0: Typo Themes missing graphics.

Hi Instant Rails Users,
  
  I was working with typo themes and the graphics for each theme wasn''t
showing.
  
  The httpd.conf file needs another adjustment so that themes in typo  will
work.  Remove the "images" from the "don''t use
SCGI" section  below.  I had removed the "stylesheets" earlier.
  
  Hope this helps anyone using Instant Rails and Typo.

Thanks for posting this. I''m planning to include typo as a preinstaled
sample app in Instant Rails, and your experience will definitely save me a
bunch of time.

On that note.... I''m working with a couple others on a problem related
to typo
and scgi... Either some routing code has to be rewritten or some other patch to
make caching work with scgi.  If you mount scgi on the root url:

SCGIMount / 127.0.0.1:9999

then all requests are passed into SCGI, and cached pages are not scooped up by
the webserver correctly. No caching! ack!

The workaround is to mount SCGI on a sub-folder:

SCGIMount /scgi-bin/ 127.0.0.1:9998

and then use mod_rewrite to map things over if the file doesn''t exist:

RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /scgi-bin/$1 [QSA,L]

But now all your application urls have a /scgi-bin/ prefix on them, so you have
to mess with routes to clean it up.  A messy business for typo, because it uses
quite a few routes.

What I propose, but haven''t  figured out yet, is some sort of
map.base_path(''/scgi-bin'') that would automatically be
stripped out of the
request string before further processing.

Hi,
 
Thanks for your tips on getting Typo running in Instant Rails.  I''m
JUST
getting my feet wet and Instant Rails has been great!  I''ve just set up
Typo
2.6.0 in Instant Rails preview5 and I''ve been to resolve all my issues
so
far with your advice.
 
I wanted to follow up that when I removed "images" from the
"don''t use SCGI"
section it did fix the problem with the theme graphics, but it broke the
graphics for the admin pages!
 
I''m still wrapping my head around all this and but it seems that if
instead
of removing ''images'' from the list, I change it to
''images/admin'' then the
graphics work on both the admin pages and the blog itself.
 
Not sure that''s the best fix (indeed I''m not really sure what
I did!), but a
fix nonetheless.
 
Thanks,
 
Eric

Hi,
  
  Well, my first atempt to fixing the theme''s graphics issues has
caused more
  trouble.  Without lots of messing typo, it doesn''t work!.  The
public/images folder
  MUST be excluded from SCGI, but not the "images" folders under the
themes folder.
  
  So, another attempt:
  
  <LocationMatch
^/(public/images|javascript|javascripts|pics|pic2|audio|pdf|[^/]+\.[^/]+$)>
          # don''t handle those with SCGI
          SCGIHandler Off
      </LocationMatch>
  
  Notice the "public/images" above.  This excludes the static images
in
  Typo, but allows the "images" under the themes to be served by
  SCGI and the rails routing.  Hopefully, this fixes the themes graphics and
doesn''t
  break ALL of the static image links in Typo.
  
  P.S. If you are using themes other than the Typo default, you''ll need
to
         fix the layout/default.rhtml file to match the updated one in the 
         default theme (azure).

OK, OK, OK....
  
  First, the admin isn''t working, then the blog isn''t working.
  
  The issue, two images folders, one in public and one in the theme.
  
  Here are the Third Try steps:
  
  1) From a previous older post
  To get the admin stylesheet to work with a theme
    a) Move public/stylesheets/admin.css to themes/azure/stylesheets
    b) Edit /config/routes.rb and add the following line
       to the file:
    
  map.connect ''stylesheets/:filename'', :controller =>
''theme'', :action => ''stylesheets''
  
  ( I added the above at line 60 in the file)
  
  2) Change ALL image refs in themes/azure/stylesheets/azure.css
  OLD
   url(../../images
  
  NEW
   url(../../theme_images
  
  This avoids the conflict with the "images" in the httpd.conf file.
  
  3) Revert the httpd.conf file back to:

  Once again, I am eager to see what others have come up with while working
  with Typo.  Did the above really solve the theme issues?
  
  My Typo blog appears, now,  to be working correctly, but that may not mean
much...
