Tested Typo Themes for Upcoming 4.0 Release
Posted by Daniel Butler Mon, 17 Jul 2006 09:14:00 GMT
Typo, a very powerful Ruby on Rails-based CMS, is quickly nearing a 4.0 release. (They’re skipping version 3.0 to prevent any confusing with a non-Ruby CMS system named TYPO3.) Timothy Freund at Digital Achievement has created a tested-Typo themes gallery, complete with screenshots via Lightbox 2.0 and download links. This gallery may prove to be a great complement to the slowly bit-rotting Typo Garden Themes Site.
The site currently contains entries for 52 themes, and is growing quickly. Especially interesting is that that Timothy has automated the generation of the lightbox screenshot using ruby, twill, and webkit2png.py. Sounds like that solution would work much better that what I’ve attempted to use in the past: khtml2png.
Thanks for the gallery, Timothy!
Thanks for spotting the Proofread theme catalog! It’s still a work in progress, so if anyone finds errors or omissions they are welcome to submit tickets:

Of course anyone who wants to help build the site is welcome to stop by as well!
Typo3 is Written in PHP. Not use RoR. (excuse my english).
Jose,
Yes, Typo3 is written in PHP, but Typo is written in RoR, and is now heading towards version 4.1. Both are CMS, but not related. They skipped version 3.0 to avoid confusion.
