Hey there, I already read a bunch of tutorials on Ruby & Rails and after some messing with Typo that doesn’t always render my pages with the stylesheets and got some routing issues, though running “typo sweep\_cache”, I started using Radiant. I’d like to make use of Compass (w/ plugins) and HAML for the design, but even after some trying I didn’t find out how to do this. I migrated the production database with the database template coffee-styled blog, so I can figure out how to create my files, but found out that this only creates Pages, Snippets and Layouts in the MySQL Database. Can’t I work with \*.html.haml files? I already tried changing the Layouts to HAML style, but this just renders plaintext. Secondly I’m still searching for the stylesheets, I can’t find them inside public/stylesheets/. The Radiant documentation says that Radiant got its own version of SASS integrated, what is about HAML and Compass Plugins? I’d love to make use of Susy. Besides Radiant I still got a question on using Compass. What command do I need to run to make use of Susy, Fancy-Buttons and Compass-Colors? All of them require me to install itself as the Framework (compass -f susy -r susy app/), but it’s not possible using more than one framework. I know I could include all of the partials from github on my own, but there has to be another way as this won’t work with RubyGems update function. Thanks for your help in advance.
