Thank you

I've been helping someone out on a static site, and my eyes were
bleeding with all the CSS and HTML. Thanks alot for staticmatic - you
have saved me from writing it myself :). Am tempted to improve the
error reporting.

Cheers,
Julian

Almost an ideal solution... just one more thing.

I am primarily a web app developer, however I occasionally need to
build simple websites that are little more then a brochure.
StaticMatic is a great solution, however my clients would like to be
able to 'edit' the content online. After thinking about this I
believe StaticMatic along with another solution is best... Does

Fixing the passing of :locals to a partial in StaticMatic 0.9.4

randy.j.par...@gmail.com (Randy Parker) — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 17:54:21 UT

The syntax:
= partial('timeline', {:a => 'A', :b => 'B'})

successfully passes local variables to the '_timeline' partial if the
StaticMatic Base class has one line changed:

On line 217, change

Fixing the " undefined method `line_offset' " Error

Previous workarounds for this error downgraded Haml to an older
revision.

StaticMatic assigns Haml::Error instances to 'haml_error' when it
rescues exceptions. The Haml module contains a class called Error,
which is only a few lines long - see lib/haml/error.rb. This Error
class was simplified after Haml 1.8.2, and now contains only one

What is going on on your development branches? It seems that Thomas Reynolds
is going off in and interesting direction.
Thomas are you in contact with Steven about your changes?
I'm working on a gem called RSSify that I hope to integrate with Staticmatic
for automatic RSS generation. I was hoping to work on the latest code, but

Is anybody using partials with locals?

agbod...@gmail.com (lyqwyd) — Thu, 09 Sep 2008 03:57:39 UT

I tried using partials with 0.9.4 with locals and it dies. Looks like
0.9.4 is not compatible with haml 2+. I tried using staticmatic 2 from
git and the preview won't even load, it says there's an error on:

$ rake preview --

** Invoke preview (first_time)

On-demand template handlers

tdre...@gmail.com (Thomas Reynolds) — Thu, 07 Jul 2008 17:38:56 UT

In my branch on github, staticmatic now attempts to load a list of
gems (haml, liquid, redcloth, etc) and enables template handlers for
each if they are found. This makes staticmatic template agnostic as
haml and sass are loaded just the same as Markdown or Liquid. It also
removes all the Haml.init_rails hacks.

CSS subfolders

manuel.meu...@gmail.com (zoopzoop) — Tue, 07 Jul 2008 14:53:20 UT

I tried using Blueprint CSS with StaticMatic.
But the 'blueprint' subfolder in 'stylesheets' does not tag along when
doing a build or preview, I have to copy it to 'site/stylesheets'
myself.
Had a look at the Blueprint CSS Helper (http://
staticmatic.rubyforge.org/svn/ trunk/contrib/helpers/
blueprintcss_helper.rb) but that one seems to assume a 'stylesheets/

HAML error... Any pointers?

Hi All,

I'm only 10 minutes in to my adventure with staticmatic (and to be
honest, HAML and SASS).

I'm getting mongrel errors when I try to preview and when I try to
build I see this:

->staticmatic build test_site
created test_site/site/stylesheets/app lication.css
/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/g ems/staticmatic-0.9.4/bin/../l ib/

How do I vary certain contents based on a page property

pauli.pr...@gmail.com (Pauli) — Wed, 07 Jul 2008 15:54:06 UT

( returning to staticmatic after long break )

How do I vary certain contents based on a page property? I'm thinking
this:

some-page.haml

- type = "category1"

layout.haml

= unless ( type == "category1") partial-for-category1

( momentarily without ability to lookup syntax for partial inclusion

Hey All,

As some of you may know, there's been a fair amount of activity on the
upcoming release of StaticMatic2:

* Build tracking
The build tracking is now working, so only the templates you change
will be built. I've changed the name of the build directory from
'site' to 'build' now - seems to make more sense!

Staticmatic as a Blog Engine

r...@ryantm.com (Ryan Mulligan) — Tue, 07 Jul 2008 02:14:27 UT

I've been thinking that what Staticmatic needs to drive it's popularity is
to be a turnkey blogging platform out of the box (or in as few steps as
possible.) I'm all in favor of using free services that people have already
made so here's my plan:

Staticmatic already has good support for posts, because posts are just

Hi guys !

glad you are working on this.

from my point of view.most dynamic sites are just fake.wasting
resources. so recently I focus on buidling static site , using client
side javascript and ajax call to some web service, to make it like
dynamic. but the most main part ,the content to the reader ,should all
