Movabale Type is going to be one of the best publishing platforms. I have an idea and of course a request. I remember once there was a request from one of the members which was about Unicode support for Entry URL or basename. There were lots of changes about this case since Movable Type 3 to 5, but unfortunately this feature (unicode support) never added to Movable Type. Of course, in version 5, we can easily add Unicode text to our basename part, but unlike English language which basename automatically fills while writing the title of the entry, in Unicode languages we have to fill the basename part ourselves.

I just wanted to know is there a possibility to see some changes about this matter?

for example WP have a huge repository of desing ,, we the users of movabletype need to make templates, I have a idea for make a official site for example a domain www.movabletypestyle.com :: Official site of styles for movabletype

with variety and design templates and themes,,,

If someone is interested, I hope that we can do soon

Let me suggest the javascript library, which could be useful for plugins development, IMHO :-)
It allows to operate with data arrays in JavaScript code like with SQL-data.
Good for on-line databases, address/phone books, etc. (see examples on homepage)
Both client library and server packages, JSON-based data exhange.

Thank you!

I would like to know if there are any news on a way to change a page or a post from a weblog or a website to another one, perserving all metadata and comments.

Also, leaving behind a redirect page for the new URL of the moved page would be, of course, quite a plus.

Any news on this, then?

Kinard' suggests a "Paste as Text" button that would paste from the clipboard to the body without the MS Word XML.

I suggest a plugin that would check for MS Word XML and clean it out upon save or auto-save(?). That way a user-in-a-hurry could do their work quickly and cleanly.

Perhaps this could be done as another editing Format as opposed to a plugin? The developer could then set that to be the default editing mode.

and, no, I don't know how to make that work. Sorry.

Does anyone know where I can find a lits of hooks and filters and what they do?

Also, is there a book that is a good reference for people who want to write wordpress plugins?

My original request was going to be having the ability to host the assets outside of site root & archive root altogether. I had added extra drive space on a separate mount for this purpose with a folder hierarchy to match the structure of the Web sites and blogs outside of the MT structure. I did this without looking into the folder path part of the MT asset management. I saw this was problematic from other post and would be close to having assets available for the whole site.

I this could become possible it would be easier to move the assets from one server to another if necessary since the path structure wouldn't change much.

I looked at assett.pm and saw where the paths were set but I wouldn't know how to go about changing that and I saw somewhere someone stated it would be best done with a plug-in.

Another suggestion would be having the choice of creating a folder for each user and then a video, image, audio, & document folder underneath their user folder just like when you create a system user in UNIX/Linux would be cool

The advantage to this would be that after a while it could become a performance issue if all the assets are in one of a few directories. Though I guess the database can handle all those files in one directory OK if the assets are tagged. From the admin side creating a directory structure as a setting would help.

Now-a-days with how-to-videos and everyone having access to some form of digital imaging and used to posting all forms of data/assets all over making assets easier to trace on the admin side would help quite a bit.

For now I'll make that disk part of my total disk usage for my site instead of a separate mount so I will not waste the space.

I hope a setting for creating asset folders ahead of time & for each user is feasible, thanks for your time!

- Two different blogs,
- A similar stylesheet
- One blog managed by MT5, the other by MT4.3

In unordered lists, both blogs used to show what you'd expect with the default CSS list-style (to wit: disc outside). However, the MT5 upgrade loses its bullets, and no amount of fiddling with the CSS gets them back.

Anybody else notice this?
