First-time user questions

Ruby Apps Typo

I’m just importing my Movable Type blog into Typo 5.3. A few random
questions:

  1. It looks like the spam filtering only scans when comments/trackbacks
    are
    initially created. Is there a way to get it to re-scan everything
    against
    Akismet?

  2. The admin UI is a little confusing and inconsistent with article
    links.
    Sometimes they take me to an editor window where I can edit the article
    (from the Content tab); sometimes to the view of the article itself
    (from
    the Dashboard), sometimes to a list of comments that doesn’t include the
    original article (from the Feedback tab). Sometimes those URLs use the
    article ID, sometimes the full SEO URL…

The result: If I’m looking at feedback, and I want to see the original
post
in context, I have to click on the article name to see the comments
list,
and click on the article name again to see the edit-the-article screen.
That
URL uses the article ID, but I don’t know the route for “view an article
by
ID” (if there even is one) so that doesn’t help. But from here, I can
see
which categories the article’s in, and then I can go look at the real
blog
to drill down by category… oy!

I feel like there’s an opportunity for redesign, but I’m not sure what,
exactly.

  • Is there any way to view trackbacks from the admin UI? The Feedback
    tab
    will list the trackbacks, but their excerpts are just the article title
    (unless that’s only for MT-imported trackbacks?)

  • Are there any useful blogs I should follow, besides typosphere itself?

Thanks!

Great! Can we know the reason of the switch please?

This is not possible yet, but I add it to the “Maybe someday” task list.

I know, I’ve recorded every usability issue and plan to fix them when
I have some time. Admin was revamped screen after screen, without any
coherence (which sucks, because designing UI is my job)

what, exactly.
It’s planned, don’t worry

    Feedback tab will list the trackbacks, but their excerpts are just

I know, it’s a bug, and it will be fixed in the next release.

    itself?

Unfortunately, the 2 most active mainteners are french, and we’re
blogging in French. I plan to blog about Typo in english too so that
people can follow me. You can follow my thoughts on
http://t37.net/category/typo/
through google translate or Yahoo! pipes if you want. Cyril’s blog
is blog.shingara.fr.

Thanks!

You’re welcome
