Comment from hi-fi hillary on topic Need archive folders created with perm of 755, not 777

2012-05-13T19:10:59Z

i'm using MT5.13 and having the same issue.
so after reading the DirUmask notes at http://www.movabletype.org/documentation/appendices/config-directives/dirumask.html is the thing to do just add the following line at the end of the mt-config.cgi file?

DirUmask 0022

When creating files and directories, Movable Type uses 0777 as a default permission. You can use umask settings to control the permissions set on the files. If you are running under cgiwrap or suexec, you should use a value of 0022 or 0072 for this setting.

Comment from Shmuel Fomberg on topic Linking and editing templates and themes

I would recommend adding to your toolbox FireFox with the FireBug plugin - it let you see which CSS rules are in affects for any element, and where they are defined.

For now, forget about themes. work within the template editor in MT. (or, copy the template out to your editor and paste it back when you are done)

And third, always remember that any change that you make will not be visible in the website until you publish the template, and then you may need to refresh the browser to see the changes.

And about the CSS, add your changes below the StyleCatcher's lines.

Hope this helps.

Hi.

I asked our UI guy, and he said that the back button is not supported, so it is not surprising that you see these problems.
On the good news, he is working on a new version of the editor, (which will not be in the next version yet, maybe the one after that) and will try to take this behavior to consideration.

On final note, you may want to get these reporters to install Lazarus, which is a browser plugin that saves and can restore any form that you send on the internet.

Cheers.

Ah, thanks, that Firebug recommendation will be particularly useful. The themes carry such complex CSS classes, with both local and global constants, it is almost impossible to reverse engineer it.

I've been adding changes below the StyleCatcher lines in the main template but the Themes seem to override my changes. For example, I can't change the typeface on blog entries. I hope FireBug will help. It seems like I'm adding a CSS definition below something in the StyleCatcher CSS sections and it is not overriding definitions higher up there.

But still, it looks like I have to modify the themes to change fundamental settings like horizontal dimensions of the page. You know, back in the MT 4 days, I had a dynamic width theme set up, instead of the fixed width static layout. I'm not sure where I'd even begin to change the theme to do that.

Comment from beth-- in reply to thirteencentpinball on topic Possible to search within a category?

2012-05-15T20:23:46Z

hi, i've been working on this. i can't come up with an excellent solution, but i did manage a work around: you'll need to rename the category labels (manage>categories>select a category>label). if you take a two word category (wild animals) and rename it (wild.animals) this category search will work correctly. i tried a number of different mt tags combinations in the option container, but i couldn't get it to work for any category with more than one word (unless i renamed them so they look like one word).

Hi paragraphny:

This is very interesting. It turns out that I can't really tell what the problem is from the screenshot, although I thought it might be possible.

If you want more direct help, I will take a look for you and see if I can determine what's going on. If that interests you, please contact me off this site at dave.aiello [at] after6services.com.

Thanks,

I figured I should document the specific problem I encountered, for the record, in case someone else runs into this. FIreBug was essential in backtracking the CSS to solve this, thanks much for the recommendation.

The sample Lorem Ipsum data in a clean website setup has a problem: it is custom styled in the story editor as Rich Text. It carries about a dozen specific attributes, just to do simple Helvetica. You can change the CSS stylesheet all you like and it will not affect this formatting, they are customized in the text entry window. Change the Format: attribute from Rich Text to None, to see the attributes, and delete them.

I feel stupid for wasting so much time trying to figure out why my hand edited CSS code had no effect on only this one element. It never occurred to me to check formatting at this level. I go back to MovableType v1 and I have never used the Rich Text editor, I hand code everything. I used FireBug and discovered why all the CSS was being overridden.
