Edit this entry – right now!

Posted by: Jennifer In: MT hacks

This was an item cooked up by Lynda of digitalwoe.com but her original entry appears to be lost and this hack is so handy, I wanted to make sure it was readily available to anyone who wants it. You need to be using PHP to use this – just insert the code in your MT […]

I was recently frustrated by Movable Type's basic support of time zones. You can select a time zone as a number of hour plus or minus UTC, but there's no adjustment for Daylight Savings Time, and entry dates and times are saved in whatever localtime was at the time. The default RSS 1.0 template just […]

Trackback ping fix

Posted by: Lisa In: MT hacks

Samuel and I were talking the other night. We both use the SimpleComments plugin (combines Comments & Trackbacks in the same area). We'd both noticed that pings don't show up immediately unless you re-save the entry, so Samuel wrote a patch for it. The patch is written for MT 2.63 and is very easy to […]

prevent duplicate comments

Posted by: Jennifer In: MT hacks

Here's an MT hack that will prevent double comment posts. [saw it at Lisa's] (You can see the comment thread in the last post, but that Javascript method of disabling the button will not work – so this is rather timely!) 😀

Comment Leaders and UPDATE statements

Posted by: kristine In: MT hacks

Brenna released a new version (0.3) of the CommentLeaders plugin and so while I was up last night, I did some tweaking to make my list work a bit better. This tip would also be helpful if you are using the version from this site: Scripts: Show recent comments WITH total comments from that comment […]

Extra field in comments

Posted by: Jennifer In: MT hacks

As requested by Chris, here's a hack that will give you an extra field for your comments, and have the contents of that field included in your email notification. (note: what this will NOT do is show those contents back on your site. I can think of a way to do that with php and […]

Archive Redirects made (more) simple

Posted by: adam In: MT hacks

A few weeks ago, Kristine posted about Redirects in MT, and this got me thinking. I had already looked at an archive mapping solution which was recently updated, but it required that I have access to the server config files (not just a .htaccess file) because a RewriteMap can only be defined in the server […]

Redirects in MT

Posted by: kristine In: MT hacks

Earlier today, I saw a lazy web post about using mod_rewrite to redirect pages if you change your MT URLs. Check out Generating MT Entry Redirects. Another thought that I had today — if you are moving a blog from one location to another (think changing domains), you could use a redirect right in the […]

A Variety of MT Things

Posted by: Christine In: MT hacks

From my travels for today: :: Want to convert from LiveJournal to MT? Meredith has information on how to do it here and is working on a full tutorial. :: SimpleComments from Kalsey Consulting Group will allow you to display your comments and your trackback pings all together in one spot. The logic being that […]

Plugin Directory

Posted by: kristine In: MT hacks

There's been so many great plugins developed for Movable Type since that functionality was added. To keep track of them all, and to help me in answering questions on the forums, I put together a Plugin Directory (powered by MT, of course!) It actually uses some of the plugins that I hadn't tried out yet […]
