Learning Movable Type, Tutorials, 22 KB, 866 words
Installing Movable Type requires uploading many files to a web server using an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) program. The files must be loaded in the proper format and then the correct permissions must be set for each of the files in order for MT to work. If you are new to FTP then the Movable Type instructions (see MT Installation Manual: Uploading Files) can seem a little confusing.
FTP
Installing Movable Type requires that you know how to use an FTP program. FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. There are many FTP programs available; typing "FTP" into Google will yield several. For my Mac, I use Fetch. Transmit and Cyberduck for the Mac have also had good reviews. Leech FTP has been recommended as a good Windows FTP client, as well as...

In this thread, Gary highlighted how to have drop downs of archives that basically redirected to the appropriate page once an archive was chosen. With this tutorial, I'll take that one step further and use AJAX such that when you select an archive, rather than redirecting to the corresponding archive page, the appropriate posts will just replace those currently shown. You can see a pretty basic example heremp;
First of all, here's the AJAX code that you'll need to put within your <head></head> tags <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- var xmlhttp=false; /*@cc_on @*/ /*@if (@_jscript_version >= 5) try { xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP"); }...

Almost all my blogs have the "Set Each Template's Build Options Separately" option selected and the dynamic setting on my hundreds of templates is varied. I wanted to be able to see immediately which templates were and which templates were not rebuilt dynamically from the templates listing view. A screenshot of how this look is above (click for a larger view) Obviously, this hack is only valid for MT versions equal to or greater than 3.1
You will need your list_template.tmpl file. Find
<th width="20%"><MT_TRANS phrase="Build w/Indexes"></th>
and replace it with
<TMPL_IF NAME=DYNAMIC_CUSTOM><th width="10%"><MT_TRANS...

Even more ways to be updated on new posts on Movalog. I've pulled together all my feeds that I generate and have added them to one page. The feeds currently available are separate feeds for Movalog and the Sideblog and a combined set that will display posts as shown on the front page. With the impending release of the directory and forums, two more feeds will appear from each.

From molly.com, Blogging Grows Up tracks MT from the very start through the licensing debacle to where it is now - a few weeks away from 3.1 ! Unless you have a membership with Salon you won't be able to read the full article. Alternatively, you could go through three pages of ads to get a free day pass. If you're interested in how MT evolved this is a very interesting read !

The Email Whitelister plugin has been updated to v1.01 to fix several bugs faced by people.
Also due to popular demand, I've released the Email Blacklister plugin which functions exactly like the Whitelister except it junks comments if the email address entered matches one on the blacklist. Currently the plugin is fairly basic and doesn't allow you to enter any wildcard or regex values. A future version will hopefully contain such functionality.
Happy antispamming!

PowerRebuild 1.1
Some of you may remember the RebuildBlogs plugin I had created that allowed you to selectively rebuild multiple blogs at once. Although the plugin worked as is with 3.2, it didn't take advantage of some of its newest features, namely...

Since my latest upgrade to 3.16, I haven't bothered to implement my quicktags hack so I was left with the default quicktags. Out of habit, I hit the quicktags to create the necessary HTML then enter my content, however with the default quicktags, you have to first select the text then click the quicktag. I decided to change that. Open up mt.js and find the formatStr function
function formatStr (e, v) {
and on the third line of this function delete this
if (!str) return;
That's it, now when you click the quicktag, it'll create the opening and closing tag.

Well I'm pleased to announce Movalog's Sideblog. I needed a sideblog just to post links to stuff I see and rather than give it a whole entry here felt it better to setup a sideblog. I will merge the two blogs together soon including the RSS. http://sideblog.movalog.com/
