Movable Type 3.16 Released!
The latest version of my favourite blogging software (Movable Type) was released on the 18th, and with it comes over 100 bug fixes and tweaks.
Stupidly I uploaded the upgrade version right over my install, wiping out some of my hacks in one fell swoop. Since I've tweaked files here and there without making a proper note of any of them, I'll have to try to work out what I've done and where... then make a note HERE!
On the matter of notifications, they work fine, but only if I choose one of two options (Include Excerpt or Include Entry Body). I'd personally prefer it to notify by default, but does that mean it notifies on a Draft entry? It might be nice to just send a link to the entry without any body/except - but I'm not sure that's possible with the current implementation.
I'll have to think some more on this.
This is simply for my own reference.
Notes:
1) Search is run by search.tmpl not default.tmpl so accidental overwriting won't happen.
2) Creative Commons is now 2.0 by default, no edits needed anymore!
3) Probably the most important file is AtomServer.pm since I can't post from my phone without it!
Hacks:
1) Rename mt-comments.cgi and mt-tb.cgi to reply.cgi and ping.cgi. DONE
2) Add Save/Rebuild button to Edit Template screen. DONE
3) Make Entry Body and Edit Template textareas bigger. DONE
4) QuickTags (Insert Image / Decode) on Edit Entry screens. DONE
5) MT-BlackList header.tmpl modification. DONE
6) Upload AtomServer.pm for LifeBlog. DONE
7) Upload colourful nav icons for CMS. DONE
8) Upload my top-nav images. DONE
9) Upload styles.css. DONE
I'll be updating this post as I find more things to add to it.
UPDATE:
Now I'm running 3.2 there will be a few differences.
