Movable type and fire eagle

Vote 0 Votes

I am trying to add the fire eagle plugin to the new version. I have to state I am not a programmer. and I am running into issues.

I followed this site (readme.txt included) http://code.sixapart.com/svn/mtplugins/trunk/FireEagle/README.txt and when I try to get it to post to the front of the page it just gives me a bunch of errors.

steps I took.
copy file to mt-static/plugin
copy other files cgi-bin/mt/plugin

From there I am assuming I need to make a template. I have tried this and then created a widget and all I ever get is these errors.

An error occurred publishing entry 'Trying to get Fire Eagle on the site. ': Publish error in template 'Entry': Error in <mtInclude> tag: error in module Sidebar: Publish error in template 'Sidebar': Error in <mtIf> tag: Error in <mtWidgetSet> tag: Error in <mtinclude> tag: error in widget Fire eagle: Publish error in template 'Fire eagle': Error in <mtAuthorLocationMapURI> tag: No author in context

  • That error seems to suggest that you are using the <mtAuthorLocationMapURI> tag outside the context of a specific author, i.e. not inside an entry or a page.

    I am guessing you are running a 1 author blog, and just want to add fireeagle to your sidebar? Just add the author attribute to that tag like this:


    <$MTAuthorLocationMapURI author="melody" width="200" height="200"$>

    And replace "melody" with your username.

    Let me know if that works ok, not used FE for a while myself, but have had it working fine in the past.

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
