tips and tricks for movable type

quick editing
March 25, 2002

Another MT Tip from David Gagne - create a link which lets you edit the entry as long as you're logged in to MT.

"If you visit http://www.davidgagne.net/ you'll see a period - . - before each link to an entry's comments. That period is a link to the editing window for that particular entry. As long as I am logged in to MovableType, I can click on that link and immediately begin editing the post. Here's the link to add to your main index template:"

<a target="_blank" title="admin" onmouseover="window.status='edit this entry'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' '; return true;" href="<MTCGIPath>mt.cgi?__mode=view&_type=entry&id=<MTEntryID>&» blog_id=<MTBlogID>">.</a>

(Line breaks added for display purposes are indicated by »; these breaks should be removed when using the code!)

"Note that you should use &amp; instead of & to make sure your page is html 4.01 compliant."

» Using Regex plugin on dual-script strings instead of MT dirify
Excerpt: Many moons ago I noted that MT's dirify routine (via MT::Util) sometimes turned unique strings into identical file names. So I had had to alter at least one of those strings (e.g. a category label) to something else. This was...
