Tag Link on Index Page Not Clickable

2010-02-26T22:29:11Z

When viewing my site from the my main index or archives pages, the tags link is not clickable.

However it is clickable in the single entry view.

The code for the link is:

Tags:

,
'>';return false;" rel="tag">

Any ideas what the problem might be?
Thanks!

New MT user, floundering

2010-02-19T02:02:39Z

Hi, all -

I've been working away at learning how to use MT for the last week, and I'm hitting walls all over the place. :\ Worse yet, I can't find any documentation for what I want to do - or anything on the Web that would point me in the right direction. I have high hopes for being able to use MT... but at the moment, it's just not happening.

To give a little context: I'm the Editor-in-Chief for the Linux Gazette (http://linuxgazette.net/). For years now, we've been using a "home-made" set of Python scripts to generate/publish LG, with me keeping the whole rickety setup alive by grafting lots of Perl code onto it, tweaking the templates, reworking the CSS, etc. Recently, though, a friend recommended that I take a look at MT. I was delighted when I did - MT produces static files, which is exactly what we need. I grabbed a copy, installed it, and...

Well, I've been able to produce a pretty good-looking index page for LG. I've even separated out the banner header template - great, that should save on some work! However, when I try to do anything just a touch more complicated - e.g., use MT logical statements to eliminate the sidebar - all I get is errors. E.g.:

 Publish error in template 'Main Index': Error in  tag: You used an MTHasParentFolder tag outside of the proper context.
Close

I'm not sure where to go from here. I'm a professional Perl and PHP programmer and instructor, I can do HTML and CSS in my sleep, I've got years of publishing experience under my belt... but this CMS thing has got me rather discouraged. I just don't feel like I'm grasping the essentials here.

Any advice - including hints of where I might have picked the wrong approach - would be highly welcome and appreciated.

2010-01-28T06:56:11Z

Hi All,

I have searched this issue on this forum but i couldt find any answer yet and so
please help me out!

I use:
Movable Type5
networksolutions.com for my server in US.

My problem:

When i try to upload images on my blog, i get a following error message:

"We're sorry for the inconvenience, but there has been an internal server error. Please click on the back button to return to the former page."

It was sucess on my first upload image but second time, i get this error.

So i deleted my blog and setup new blog.
Same problem. First upload is OK but second upload i get this error again.

Is this my server problem ? or MT5 ??

Anyone got any idea ???

Thank you for reading my question !

Changing domains - ATOM interface problem

2010-01-20T20:03:52Z

I am in the process of migrating a MT3.3 site to an new server and a new domain name.
We have a custom application that is posting to the site over the ATOM interface. I have changed the Site URL and Site Root in Publishing Settings, and the site loads just fine at the new domain.
But, after authenticating on the ATOM interface, MT is returning all the expected feeds with the old domain, not the new domain.

I have tried rebuilding the indexes and the entire site, and neither solved the problem.
Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing?
Do I need to change this by hand?

Thanks!

Movable Type completely stopped working

2009-12-26T00:57:34Z

hey,
reasonably comfortable with code, but not a programmer, and way in over my head. whenever i try to do anything with Movable Type [running 3.33] i get the following error:

'Got an error: DBD driver has not implemented the AutoCommit attribute at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux/DBI.pm line 672.'

do not even know where to start with this, can anyone help?

was working on clearing out a bunch of spam comments before [1] upgrading to the current version and [2] enabling authentication, and the thing just broke.

thank you in advance.

Problem with Author Link when viewing in Category Archive

2009-12-17T19:10:34Z

The site I am working on is having a conflict in the Category Archive View. In this view, clicking on the Author's name takes the user to the same Category Archive they are already viewing.

When viewed in Monthly archive, the Author link functions properly.

Does anyone have any idea what might be the problem?
Thanks!

Need to find MT version for schema version 4.0067 to restore

2009-12-09T14:00:11Z

I need to restore my MovableType backup with schema version 4.0067. Is that MTOS 4.2, 4.23?

1. How can I know which version it is?, and
2. Where can I find that previous version so I can restore my backup?

This is the error message that I get:

Restoring Movable Type

Manifest file: /tmp/Movable_Type-2009-12-07-19-41-06-Backup.zipE2Kq/Movable_Type-2009-12-07-19-40-54-Backup.manifest
Uploaded file was backed up from Movable Type but the different schema version (4.0067) from the one in this system (4.0076). It is not safe to restore the file to this version of Movable Type. at lib/MT/BackupRestore/BackupFileHandler.pm line 56. at /usr/local/libdata/perl5/site_perl/amd64-openbsd/XML/LibXML/SAX.pm line 73

BTW, I also asked this on Twitter, at http://twitter.com/ricardo/status/6496552285

Publishing Notifications

2009-12-07T22:22:29Z

I'm just getting my feet wet with Plugin development for MT. One of the first plugins I wish to add is a plugin to send a JMS notification to our backend system every time someone publishes (i.e. either by publish request, page, or entry). In this case we have a restful service URI we can hit to build and post the JMS message so I really only have to figure out when to make the request with the corresponding blog id or some other metadata relating to the blog.

After evaluating what is available in MT 4.32, the ideal events to tie a callback to would be the pre_build or post_build event but in both cases they have no parameters. This first begs me to ask why have the events and second is how would I go about getting the blog_id at minimum.

I have also looked at a number of other events which have this information but they are less than ideal since they trip multiple times and I only want to produce a single notification. In addition I don't want modify the based code for MT to pass the parameter.

Comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
