Six Apart – Professional Network – Power Tools. Well, have flipped the “tongfamily”:https://tongfamily.com and soon the “geekfishing.net”:http://geekfishing.net blogs over to MovableType 3.2. “Ludwig”:http://www.theludwigs.com was right, the install is tricky, since configuration files are changing and there in compatiblities with the anti-spam stuff I use. Notably MT-Blacklist has to be manually deleted. In exchange though, styles […]

Six Apart – ProNet – CPanel Updates Breaking Movable Type Installations. _Just started getting these errors, Cpanel updated a database access routine that Movable Type uses._ We are still gathering information on the various configurations which have been affected at this point. Once we’ve determined all of the incompatibilities and created a patch, we’ll post […]

MovableType lets you have a set of templates that it uses to generate actual files. Here’s a list of mine so folks can see how this site is constructed. With MT tags being so complicated, this seems pretty useful to me. So maybe others like “John”:http://www.theludwigs.com could do it. By the way, these are .tmpl […]

TEMPLATE TAGS. It has taken quite a bit of time, but I finally have gotten my categories right on this site. Now that I’ve resolved the mt.js problem, I resorted the categories logically. But, the big change is learning about this wonderful tag MTEntriesWithSubCategories In your category archive, you replace the MTEntries container that gives […]

Buttons don’t work for some functions. _Wow, this is a case where tech support really does work. Sent a note to the folks at sixapart because I couldn’t get some things to work, quite a subtle bug and hard to find since this help item isn’t indexed well and I was sure where to look._ […]

MtInlineEditor – Movalog Plugins – Trac. What a great idea. This is an inline editor, so that you can look at your blog and if there is a typo, you can directly type into the entry.

Interesting to see that for my blogs, I’ve got gigantic activity logs, I’ve never looked at them and they are filled with errors. With Firefox, I found that it just thrashes with gigantic files. Gets to be 500MB of swap and then just seems to slow. This is one area where Internet Explorer is better, […]

Don’t Back Down – Moderate Archives. Just a reminder to folks that most of the time, when you upgrade from say 3.15 to 3.16, the plugins are fine. That isn’t true with MT-Moderate because it modifies one of the standard templates, the list_ping.tmpl, so when you do a dumb upgrade, you overwrite the file and […]

MT-Blacklist/Comment Spam Clearinghouse: Introducing SpamLookup I’ve been using MT-Blacklist for a while, but now it looks like its time to convert to SpamLookup, a new plugin by Brad Choate. Even the author of MT-Blacklist thinks folks should switch. It adds many more rules for preventing spam, which everyone needs. I’m up to 35,000 comment spam […]
