I'm done with Movable Type. After months of little useful
communications about their plans, Ben and Mena have for all intents
and purposes ditched the free version of their once-shining weblogging
software. Now, MT is a "publishing platform" that costs at
least $69 (with limited functionality). Lucky for us that, while MT
slept, we have discovered a much improved and free
Blogger, a truly open source
WordPress, and a similarly priced but
more powerful
ExpressionEngine.

Geodog signs off on criticism
09/16/2004 03:40 AMI wasn't planning on ever writing anything about SixApart and
MovableType again, but today Kris Krug sent me mail alerting me to a
lengthy interview he did with Mena Trott, where she responds to some
of the recent criticism of Six Apart and the MT 3.0, and 3.1 releases:
MT: One of the biggest things that I want to get through (and that I
probably don't a good enough job of getting through) is that it's
completely untrue that we're this big corporate company and that we
don't care about the users-that it's all about just Ben and Mena and
the venture capitalists. It's not so; there are so many smart people
here who love what they're doing and love blogging. It dismisses their
value when people say the company is just a big corporation that
doesn't care about its users. People should understand that when
you're insulting the company, you're insulting a lot of people. We're
all good people and I wish everyone would take some time to see that.
There are so many other targets to focus on; our little company from
San Mateo is the least among them. The interview is worth reading in
its entirety, if you are interested in the whole MovableType saga and
some of the issues around the recent releases. To round out the view,
or if you want a different perspective, check out long time MT user
Ben Hammersley's opinion, Ben Trott's response, and 6A supporter and
plug-in writer Timothy Appnel's comments. I myself have said more than
enough about MovableType and SixApart, and gained some unwanted
notoriety through a poor choice of weblog post titles. I've also have
had my criticisms misrepresented, and Anil Dash has fairly called upon
me to examine my criticisms. As a result I reread Anil's post about
criticism, and reread for about the 10th time Phil Ringnalda's classic
post on the same subject, there is no they, and I've decided not to
spend any more time offering what Anil called "unsolicited criticism."
We all have more important things to do. I will just note that I as I
have said elsewhere thought MovableType was a was a brilliant product
when I first encountered it. The documentation, user interface,
features and support were superb. I enjoyed the time learning how to
hack the templates and add plugins. I appreciated the ethos of the old
MT license --...

Breadcrumbs in Movable Type
Breadcrumbs in Movable Type
05/05/2004 02:18 PMP. Obels asked
How do you get the links on top of your site in
movabletype which point out where you are?like:
Home » Our Thinking » Measure Twice » Archive
» Tools and Utilities
Since he’s not the first person who’s asked, and
I’m getting tired of re-writing the answer, I’m blogging
it so I can simply point people here.
The short answer is: manually.
Each MT template has the breadcrumbs
manually defined. The only variable part of the breadcrumb is (in most
templates) the last item in the list. So my archive template that
creates both category and monthly archives has this in it:
<p class="breadcrumb"><a
href="/">Home</a> » <a
href="/thinking/">Our Thinking</a> »
<a href="/blog/">Measure Twice</a> »
<a href="/blog/archives/">Archive</a>
» <MTArchiveTitle></p>
And the individual archive template contains
<p class="breadcrumb"><a
href="/">Home</a> » <a
href="/thinking/">Our Thinking</a> »
<a href="/blog/">Measure Twice</a> »
<MTEntryTitle></p>

Why your Movable Type bl0g must die
02/10/2004 02:57 AMIn the past, blogging was an interesting pastime. Now, with the advent
of the ridiculously popular weblog package Movable Type, the Web is in
risk of drowning under a tidal wave of morons who throttle search
engines with writing that has no purpose and such PageRank-destroying
features as "TrackBack".

Using PHP for Movable Type Searches
Using PHP for Movable Type Searches
07/04/2004 01:38 PMA lot of people want to roll their own search with Movable Type. Us, for instance
— Gadgetopia has a two-tiered search system based on whether the
search term appears in the title, keywords, or body of the entry (see
this post for more information).
Our search is done in with SQL and PHP, abandoning the MT search
system completely. The probem with this method is rendering the
search results. If you don't use MT, then you lose two things:
(1) Auto-creation of the permalink. The URL isn't stored
anywhere in the database, so you have to recreate it. If your URLs
are just based on the entry ID, then it's not hard. However, look at
our URLs — they're a conglomoration of the date and the entry
title. We'd have to create a PHP function to recreate this scheme
— and if we ever changed the URL structure from within MT, we'd
have to change the PHP function separately.
(2) Text filters. If you're just converting line breaks,
the text filter is not so hard to re-produce. However, if you're
using Textile or some other plug-in to
filter your text, you're going to have to reproduce that in PHP as
well so the previews render correctly.
You can avoid all this, however, by simply using PHP includes and
an extra Individual Entry Archive. The result is an elegant solution
that blends PHP and MT to eliminate the tedium of recreating MT
functionality in PHP.
First, create a folder in your site called "search_fragments."
Next, create a new Individual Entry Archive in MT called
"search_fragment." This template should contain the just HTML to
create a single search listing. Like this:
<tr class="title">
<td class="title">
<a
href="<MTEntryPermalink>"><MTEntryTitle></a>
</td>
<td class="date">
<MTEntryDate format="%m/%d/%Y">
</td>
</tr>
<tr
class="excerpt">
<td colspan="2">
<MTEntryExcerpt>
</td>
</td>
Configure this template to generate a file in the
"search_fragments" directory named for the entry ID only. You don't
even have add an extention, though you can if you like (if so, you'll
need the change the PHP code listed below). So the entry in the
archiving configuration would be something like:
search_fragments/<MTEntryID>
Now when an entry rebuilds, it will create two files: (1) its
normal archive file, and (2) a search result fragment file called "1",
"2", "348", etc. Notice that since we're using standard MT templates
to create the fragment, the permalink will be created by MT, and the
exceprt text will be formatted according to the text filter the entry
is using.
Now, when you use your SQL to get your search results, just SELECT
the entry ID, then spin through those and use PHP to include the
matching search fragment file. Like this:
<table>
<?php
while ($r =
mysql_fetch_assoc($keywordResults)) {
@include "search_fragments/" .
$r['entry_id'];
}
?>
</table>
This will dump the contents of each search fragment file in the
table. Since each file contained two rows, the resulting table will
be valid HTML. Notice we're surpressing any errors on the inclusion
line just in case a file is missing for some reason.
We've be using this system here for months, and it works
great.
