Set File Permissions on Archive Output File?

Vote 0 Votes

Hi,

I've got an archive listing template that outputs as an xml file that is then read by an application. I have two quick questions:

1. The default file output permissions appears to be 666. I would like to have it set automatically at 755 or 777. Is that possible to set within MT? If not, any ideas how to programatically (sp?) set file permissions?

2. I notice that every line of MT code is translated into a hard return in my XML file output. Any easy way to stop that behavior and keep my nested if/else MT statements? Or do I have put all the MT code into a single line?

Thanks for any ideas! You'll be happy to know that I found other answers here the precluded asking a bunch of questions earlier...

  • Hi again Fred,

    Add the following to your mt-config.cgi file:

    DBUmask 0022
    HTMLUmask 0022
    UploadUmask 0022
    DirUmask 0022

    Make sure you upload it in ASCII mode ;)

    You may like to better explain that, eventually with a sample

    Every hard return from your template(s) is converted in a hard return on the files generated by movable type.

    Kind Regards,

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