85. MTLookup: Fulltext Search is not that Easy

Movable Type Weblog, Tutorials, 18 KB, 324 words

A user told me about a query that did not return the expected result list. He was simply searching for the three letters »3.2« (three dot two). This should return a long list of hits. However, the result list was empty. So I had to enhance the algorithm a little bit.

The problem was caused by the way MTLookup worked. The dot was regarded as a delimiter, so in this special case the three-character string was broken into three parts: a three, a dot, and a two. As each of the individual parts was too short - MTLookup only placed words with three characters into the index. Nothing was actually searched for.

I changed the code so that such search phrases are handled correctly....

87. Ajax Archive Drop Downs

Movalog, Tutorials, 31 KB, 856 words

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"); }...

88. Build Dynamically?

Movalog, Tutorials, 27 KB, 759 words

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...

90. An API for sidebar content

Six Apart ProNet Weblog, News, 14 KB, 239 words

Last week, we launched a number of new features on the TypePad service, but Professional Network members might be most interested in the new Notes TypeList. TypeLists are the sidebar content like lists of links, books, music, and blogrolls that you can easily update with the TypePad service. And Notes TypeLists are little blocks of any arbitrary HTML that you want to put on the side of your blog.

We've offered an Atom API for updating TypeLists for more than a year now. But even more exciting is that the new Notes TypeList supports the Atom API as well. That means that you can now insert content into a TypePad blog's sidebar using the API.

So, if you've got a service that requires...

If you're interested in how MT evolved this is a very interesting read !

94. White and Blacklist Emails

Movalog, Tutorials, 23 KB, 392 words

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!

99. For your convenience

Movalog, Tutorials, 24 KB, 421 words

If you like to read MovaLog, you may wish to add this blog to your aggregator.

I quite like this tool because it allows you to output your rss in such a way that it is easiest for your readers. Currently the tool supports most popular RSS aggregators like Bloglines, My Yahoo! and Bot a Blog. Of course if you use some other aggregator - like Feeddemon - you could manually add the xml feed to your subscription list !

100. More Intuitive Quicktags

Movalog, Tutorials, 24 KB, 429 words

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.
