A very good friend of mine put together a very handy PDF flowchart of the default template structure. I'm actually writing up a post for it and will post it...
I have a mundane question to ask a part from this exciting and jubilant day (that wasn't sarcasm). I have to do an export of some blogs (from TypePad) that...
To my knowledge, TypePad doesn't have subcategories. I think I've worked on about every level there is (though there might be a level I've missed), and I've...
Thanks for the reply Chad. I'm realizing that I'm getting confused with another "custom" blogging system the client is also migrating from MT. (They are...
I don't think you an maintain hierarchy in the import (as of 4.01 anyway). There is a big fat $cat->parent(0) in there, and I think that would throw a wrench...
... Crap. Yeah that was what I was afraid of. Time for plan B. I'm thinking a dump file from the source like... Foo Foo|Bar Foo|Bar|Fred ...would give me...
Actually, if you have Foo|General and Bar|General, that should be enough to tell you that it's a different category, since "General" couldn't have two...
... True. That's on the import side though. On the exporter (like TypePad) all you get is: PRIMARY CATEGORY: General It doesn't tell me what that category...
True enough... I was assuming this was on "the other (non-TypePad) system", though, since TypePad doesn't have sub-categories. If that's where they are, I'm...
Another issue, I believe, is that empty categories will not get exported (assume TypePad uses a similar *entry-centic* export approach that MT uses). Since...
This is a question I've been meaning to ask for a couple of months now. I'll ask it here since I've had my fill of ProNet and mtos-dev lists lately. ;) How...
I haven't been doing MT3 compatibility for a while now. I've had very few requests for it, and most of those have resulted in consulting work to make...
... I've had no requests from clients to move to MT4 as yet - they can't quite see any benefit to moving. Or, more specifically, they can't quite any benefit...
I haven't seen much request in the way of support for or downloads of my MT3 plugins. That's not to say a lot aren't still using MT3 (there are), of course,...
I spent a good 2-3 hours yesterday reading over the documentation and looking through code in both the API and some plugins I downloaded, and still cannot...
... Interesting. Thanks for sharing this. I have a plugin in development that does some simplified caching. Rather than caching objects, it caches blocks of...
... I suppose it would help to understand what problem you are aiming to solve. It really depends on a number of factors. By storing (caching really) anything...
... Yes, welcome to our world. ;) Actually its pretty neat once you get your head wrapped around it. Did you look at the documentation or where you simply...
... The goal here is a limited, to reduce rebuild times by caching sections of built template code for a defined period of time. For example you might decide...
... I have a plugin that does something similar with the request object. I never go around to releasing it, but used it on numerous occasions to save a client...
Hi Guys I'm sure I've done this before but I just can't figure it out now (I'm rusty on MT!). Is it possible to get an "upgrade" function to fire for the first...
Check the archives - Kevin posted a fix for this a little while back (which of course I can't find right at the moment). If I recall, it had something to do...
... Aha, thank you Chad. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/mt-dev/message/1582 in case anyone happens across this thread! Cheers, Arvind ... Arvind...
I have created a test application that subclasses MT::App that can save some of the objects I have created and registered, but when I call the load method on...
The save method with return a defined value if successful. undef if not. If undef is returned you can call the errstr method which should output a useful...
... Just to rule out the obvious... if this is pasted from the actual code you're trying, "Vistior" rather than "Visitor" in the line above would probably...
*bump* Did anybody manage to get together some working code for this? For Christmas, of course! But seriously, it popped back into my head after coming across...
