Hi Frédéric, Cyril,
first of all, many thanks for Typo! I was looking for a blog engine in
rails and Typo seems to be the richest in features.
I have previously tried Mephisto, but while it was very easy to get up
and running with no issues, it has many less features.
Sorry if I am emailing both of you, but - while I am an experienced
.NET developer - I am a novice with rails and have some issues with
typo, and didn't know who of you to contact for this. :)
I have a little number of questions...I hope you can help me! :)
There are a Mailing list of Typo user. I reply to this list and you and
me in copy. Frederic is really busy this time.
If you want more information about how contact our community :

1) I have deployed Typo on a VPS with webistrano, the blog is now
active (although still empty) and I have selected a template that I
like, but it is behaving somehow in a weird way. If for example I make
even minor changes to the template (for example to hide the css/html
validators links - which anyway do not work properly - so even small
changes), and then deploy these changes, I often get a bunch of
500-errors whenever I move around the admin section, and more likely
whenever I try to save some settings or post an article or page. This
happens every time, and it only seems to go away (am not sure yet), if
I restart apache a number of times.
As said I am a novice with rails, so I have no idea why this would
happen with your blog - please note that I am using passenger+ruby
enterprise edition, and that I have other applications running on that
VPS, but I have only seen this issue with Typo.
* Which version of Typo ?
* What say your error in production.log ?
2) I haven't completely understood how the caching works. When I add
or change an article or page, only sometimes do I see the changes
reflected immediately in the blog, unless - it seems - I clear the
cache each time from within the Settings page. This happens, it seems,
regardless which caching mode I choose. What is the difference between
the two modes, btw?
There are some change in Typo 5.3 not release. Now we use only caching
by page. In version before, we are a little issue, when you want change
your cache. You need restart your server. And If before you use the
cache static, you need delete all html file generated in your public
directory
3) Are there any plugins or such, to enable Disqus, Outbrain with
Typo? I would like to be open to Disqus' community, in particular.
There are no Sidebar about this community.
4) I have read that I can use external editors to publish my posts, by
selecting the Movable API and the URL
http://typo.vitobotta.com/backend/xmlrpc (which is a temporary domain
to test typo). I have tried with Google Docs, but it says "There was
an unexpected problem (Server returned HTTP response code: 500 for
URL: http://typo.vitobotta.com/backend/xmlrpc?rnd2141505742=289332855)
<http://typo.vitobotta.com/backend/xmlrpc?rnd2141505742=289332855%29>.".
We need some error to understand better. but a Bug speak about that :

Maybe it's the same.
