Detailed Introduction
Typemill is an open-source, flat-file content management system that lets you create websites and eBooks entirely from Markdown files — no database required. Built on Slim PHP, Vue.js, and Tailwind CSS, it delivers a modern, fast, and secure experience. It offers both a visual block editor and a raw Markdown editor, making it author-friendly and developer-friendly. Developers can extend it with Twig templates, Symfony events, and YAML definitions, and there is a growing ecosystem of plugins and themes. A standout feature is single-source publishing: with the eBook plugin, content can be exported as PDF and ePUB. Typemill is ideal for user manuals, documentation, wikis, handbooks, and any informational website that values simplicity and speed.
Troubleshooting & FAQ (2)
TroubleshootingHow to fix missing multilanguage navigation in Guide Theme after migrating from localhost to production?
Copy the 'data/multilang' folder (especially the 'index.txt' file) from your localhost to production. Also, edit navigation files to replace 'localhost:8080' with your domain. The error 'We did not find the page id in the mulitlangindex' indicates the multilanguage index is missing or incorrect. Additionally, ensure you migrate content, data/navigation, and data/multilang folders, and update all domain references.
TroubleshootingHow to fix mixed content error in Typemill when running behind an SSL proxy?
Set proxy: true in your Typemill configuration (e.g., settings/settings.yaml). This ensures that base_url() returns https, fixing mixed content issues for images and API calls. Also set fqdn to your domain if not already done.
