WRT to the images, Asset Handler can do that for you just fine once you get your entries imported. Download it for free, here: http://plugins.movalog.com/asset-handler/

1) Move all of the assets_c files into uploads/

2) Delete assets_c

3) Symlink assets_c to uploads/

Thanks for the response. My main domain does not have MT installed but the sub domain is on the same host. I'll try your second option as its a good idea.

Are they good enough? Thanks!

if i make four post in nov and four in dec, i want it to show the 4 in nov.

i may have to just manually tag the four i want to show up.

<mt:Entries sort_by="authored_on" sort_order="ascend"> <font class="basichead"><$mt:EntryTitle$></font><BR> <$mt:EntryBody$> <Br><Br></mt:Entrie

You don't have lastn defined in that Entries tag :)

I found out why. I apparently had an old htaccess redirect that this image triggered. I obviously had the trigger set up wrong. I discovered this when I tried to view the image after seeing it was there, and got sent back to the main page of my site.

Here's what was flagging it.

RedirectMatch /blog.*? http://www.3drealms.com

I commented out that line from the htaccess, and it works fine. That's where the problem was. That redirect is on there for something that hasn't been on our website (which resided at /blog/*) in many a year, so I just left that line commented out.

Another thing you can do, if they're hosted off the same hosting account at your hosting service is this and you don't want to use 1 installation of Movable Type:

1) Create a symlink in the folder that hosts the subdomain to a location on the main domain where you would want to host PHP includes. 2) Create a new index template that you can use as a PHP include in the subdomain's copy of MT. 3) When you use <mt:Entries> inside the PHP include, set lastn equal to 5. 4) Have the template outputted as a file in the symlinked directory.

I do something similar to this with my blog. I have another domain that's hosted out of a subdirectory of my main domain, and I have MT build an index template into that directory to redirect some traffic in a more user friendly way.

The files on the server are there directly out of the tarball I downloaded. Sent up said tarball, and untarred it. I couldn't have "uploaded" it wrong, as I didn't technically unload any specific files.

FYI, the functionality seems unaffected. I can use the dropdown that is missing, I just can't SEE it.

     <MTTopLevelCategories>
     <MTIfNonZero tag="MTCategoryCount">
    <font class="redhead"><$mt:CategoryDescription$></font>
    <mt:Entries sort_by="authored_on" sort_order="ascend">
    <font class="basichead"><$mt:EntryTitle$></font><BR>
     <$mt:EntryBody$>
    <Br><Br></mt:Entries><BR>
    </MTIfNonZero>
    </MTTopLevelCategories>

if i use this:

i get all of my events in chronological order...but i just want to show the first four... maybe a manipulation of the above would allow it?
