Hi! I'm not sure if this is the place to ask, this might be more of an XSLT question than a movable type question but if anyone happens to know I'd be eternally grateful.
I am using the atom feed from my movable type blog to put my blog posts on my website. There are two things going wrong the first (less pressing because I have come up with a makeshift solution)
The entire blog is being pulled onto the webpage, the body and the extended it is being pulled by 'atom:content' (code below). I only want the body to be pulled. But the real problem is that the title link/arrow link at bottom are not linking back to the blog, they just refresh the webpage like they are going nowhere or to the page they are one. These links are being pulled from 'atom:storylink' (code below). Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thank you.
<xsl:template match="/atom:feed">
<xsl:for-each select="atom:entry">
<xsl:if test="position() < 4">
<h3><a><xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of select = "atom:storylink" /></xsl:attribute><xsl:value-of select="atom:title"/></a></h3>
<p><strong>Posted:</strong><xsl:text> </xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="atom:published"/><br />
<xsl:value-of select="atom:content" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
<span class="raquo"><a><xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of select = "atom:storylink" /></xsl:attribute><xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[»]]></xsl:text></a></span></p>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

Hi Sali,
You could edit your atom feed, or eventually create a clone of it for being used for this XSL template, and keep the default atom feed for other stuff (i.e. feedburner or other scopes).
The edit that you could make for taking away the extended part of the post, is to remove:
<$mt:EntryMore encode_xml="1"$>
As for the story link, I am not very clear what would you expect from "atom:storylink".
Kind Regards,
Mihai Bocsaru

Thank you, that was just what I needed for the xml file to make sense to me.
I can't image anyone else would have this problem as the problem is clearly me not understanding xml very well BUT if someone finds the titles of your feed from your movable type blog are not linking back to the blog you could add the code below to the xml and link to <atom:storylink> in your xslt:
<storylink type="text/html" xml:lang="<$mt:BlogLanguage ietf="1"$>" xml:base="<$mt:BlogURL encode_xml="1"$>"> <$mt:EntryPermalink encode_xml="1"$> </storylink>That makes sense, Sali!
You're welcome!
