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.

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>

e Madness: Dean
over at blogs4God presents a really good wrap-up of the furor over the
new Movable Type release.
Unbeknowst to me, Six Apart
made a change over the weekend to say that mutiple Weblogs in MT
used to create one site (for instance, if you have another blog to
handle static pages for your site), do not count towards the Weblog
limit in the license. They also removed a single CPU restriction that
they said was in there by mistake, are allowing you to purchase
additional blog/author packs for $10 each, and have increased the
number of authors allowed in the mid-level version from 3 to 5.
Don Park links to some good
resources as well, including this very wise
column by Timothy Appnel over at O'Reilly:
As a developer and one who makes a living writing code,
this reaction to Six Apart's new licensing is really disheartening and
on a certain level frustrating to see. I am a firm believer and backer
of free software. [...] I've personally released quite a bit of open
source code myself and will continue to do so. However this apparent
expectation of the vocal part of community that it is their right to
have all great works of software at no cost is bothersome. If users
don't have the funds or won't pay on principle for my time, effort or
talent – how do I eat?
He makes a good point. Not everything in the world can be free, as
much as we would like it. Yes, I love free software, but I also know
when stuff is worth paying for. I'm reminded about what Nick Bradbury wrote in the pre-release FAQ to FeedDemon:
Will FeedDemon be free? Will it be open source? Sorry,
no. I have nothing against open source, but I also have two kids to
feed :)
I personally don't have a problem with Six Apart charging for this
version. Movable Type was a gift so far, and I guess I never expected
it to be free forever. I think they could have priced it a little
lower, but it's still worth it.

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.
