It would be great if someone tells me how i can solve this problem.

Here's a screenshot:

This only happens on the blog entry pages, not on the pages, the category pages, or the tag search pages.

The space doesn't appear in Firefox.

I would like to use your template for various projects, but I am reluctant to do so with this design flaw in the template.

'Statement has no result columns to bind (perhaps you need to successfully call execute first) at /www/w3-cgi/mt/extlib/Data/ObjectDriver/Driver/DBI.pm line 128.'

Has anybody else seen something like this? Any ideas for fix or work-around?

Using 4.2-en (final). Error is only with these templates, though the error is almost identical to one thrown by the "Universal" templates in 4.2-rc12 (see: [error reports on this forum] (http://forums.movabletype.org/2008/05/two-errrors-on-42rc1.html "DBI.pm errors with Universal templates")).

An error occurred DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Incorrect integer value: '' for column 'templatemapbuildtype' at row 1 at D:\path\to\Movable Type\extlib/Data/ObjectDriver/Driver/DBI.pm line 421.

This is 100% repeatable - the only way to successfully save the template is to click the "Re-Edit this template" button and then Save from the Edit Template screen.

Any and all suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

To ease the transition, I cloned the MT installation and MySQL DB schema, and ran the upgrade process in the "parallel universe", which was fortunate because I'm striking a few problems with one blog in particular which is content-light but customization-heavy.

In particular, it barfed on the MTCommentsFields tag, and told me that I should replace that with an include of the "Comment Form" template. I made the change, but now it's choking because there IS no "Comment Form" template. In fact, a large number of the default templates listed in the docs don't appear to have been created in the upgrade process.

I read in another forum thread that one can use the "Refresh Templates" action to load the default templates, but I I have tried that without success - a number of other templates were created, but not "Comment Form", nor many of the others listed at http://www.movabletype.org/documentation/designer/movable-type-41-default-templates.html

Am I missing something here, or do I really have to manually cut-and-paste the contents of the missing modules from the linked examples on that page?

As I understand it, the "community forum" replicates the behaviour of forums.movabletype.org

I notice their is no "category-groups widget" and in the default templates, nothing is displayed in "beta" above the rss logo. Is there not a widget with clever category management that displays the forums as cat/subcat ?

Also, the archives page remains empty even once the forum starts to fill up.

Before I write my own category-based solution to recreate the cross-forum listings and look in detail at the archive index I just wanted to check whether this was intentional or it's just bit of code that missed the build?

All the best, Dug

The conflict is in their respective perl files, MyBlogs.pl and DashOff.pl, which are bundled with the plugins.

Both of them use variable with the same name: my @blogs / $blogs, and my $perms / $perms

Assuming that you want to use both of them at once (who wouldn't?), you need to change the names of these two parameters (perhaps only the first, but I haven't bothered to test that) in one of the two files.

Therefore, in DashOff.pl for instance, you should change every occurrence of $blogs to something else, like $blogset, change my @blogs to my @blogset; and similarly change my $perms / $perms to my $perms2 / $perms2

Once you've done that, both work together.

I know there was some discussion about this several months ago on the Pronet list (or maybe mt-dev), but I think it got left in limbo

I have just updated a test site to MT 4.2, and I'll be customising the templates.

I've looked but cannot find anything. does anyone know which AJAX framework/s MT4.2 is using? I might want to add custom JS to my templates, and knowing which frameworks/libraries I can call would be nice ;-)

I keep hearing that MT4.2 has AJAX comments, etc but haven't seen AJAX used very much so far. does anyone have decent examples of synchronous-AJAX MT blogs?

cheers, Gregory

1) Under Preferences -> Publishing -> Archive Options, I changed the file extension to blank to get rid of the .html in my URLs (http://domain.com/2008/08/foo.html becomes http://domain.com/2008/08/foo). This only worked if I also manually added 'DefaultType text/html' to my .htaccess file, otherwise the file called 'foo' in the 08 folder won't be interpreted as HTML by the web server/browser. No rocket science here, but MT did nothing to point this out, or handle it for me.

2) The default archives URL ends in archive.html. I wanted http://domain.com/archives, so I changed the output filename for my archive index to 'archives/index.html'. However, now every template that uses includes index.html, instead of the cleaner 'http://domain.com/archives'. Instead of editing all the templates, I solved this by using just 'archives' as the output file name, and relying on the previous DefaultType, but in both cases now, my URLs no longer work if you add a slash after them, since in the case of the entries and archive pages at least, they're not folder anymore.

I can address the trailing slash issue with a mod rewrite of course.

An error occurred publishing entry 'Do I Need To Go Pro?': Publish error in template 'Entry': Error in <mtInclude> tag: error in module Related: Publish error in template 'Related': Error in <mtentryiftagged> tag: Error in <mtsetvarblock> tag: Error in <mtentries> tag: You have an error in your 'tag' attribute: Movable Type OR Upgrade

After reading all about tags (http://www.movabletype.org/documentation/author/tagging-entries-and-pages.html) I went through all my tags and added quotes, rebuilt all the entries that had those two-word tags, re-added the mt include tag to the entry template, and got the same error.

I’m not sure where I went wrong, and have wasted an entire afternoon trying to get it to work. Any help would be appreciated.

On my project list is to go through my templates and try to streamline things a bit, a part of which process is to comb through my stylesheet and ditch what I can of stuff that's left in there since like 2.x and no longer in use.

On a global search (BTW, under 4.1 the global template search would always 500 error, now it works) for "banner-commentspop", for instance (which I assume used to be used in the comment and trackback pop-up window that is no longer in use) I have found it located in a whole bunch of old templates on several blog: TrackBack Listing Template, Comment Listing Template, Comment Error Template, Comment Pending Template.

Thing is, though, that when I look at the template lists for these blogs, these templates are not listed. They can only be accessed through the search screen.

I assume these are old system templates or something that are no longer in use but that the system has changed so as to make them inaccessible or something, and that the search engine is actually coming up with. Something like that maybe? Think I'm safe to check them all off and delete?

http://www.movabletype.org/documentation/designer/showing-and-hiding-content-based-upon-a-login-state.html

After spending a few hours playing I can get the sign-in to work, but only by including the global 'sign-in' template and not the code in the docs.

But I just cannot get the show/hide based on login to work. Any tips?

I have a test template like this:

But it outputs nothing, despite there being comments on the site recently (eg here http://www.pepysdiary.com/archive/1665/08/12/ )

Have I made some stupid mistake or can anyone else replicate this?

Also, am I imagining things, or did the value for recentlycommentedon used to be the number of entries to display, rather than "the number of days to use to limit the selection"? http://www.movabletype.org/documentation/appendices/tags/entries.html

Thanks.
