Well, I figured out why my calendar was showing multiple dates for multiple entries, the lists of archives weren’t working (they were showing individual entry links instead of by month or by category), and why my recent entries list wouldn’t listen to the number of entries I wanted it to show.
I had had all of that stuff inside PHP echoes. I noticed that my recent comments list was outside of the PHP entirely because if I had left it in the PHP, I would’ve had to escape all double quotes with a \ in front of them. I have a limit of five set on the recent comments list and it was obeying that limit, unlike recent entries and such.
MT processes its tags first so I don’t need to escape quotes that are inside tags like MTEntries. However, it looked too strange having some quotes escaped and others not, so I just moved my calendar, archive lists, and recent entries list out of the PHP and it, as you can see, is working fine.
Whoo! Yay, Trin. Glad it worked.
Ack! Thanks, Rainbow. I’m fixing that now.
Did you know that the URL for Candice’s LJ is wrong? You have fuzzypink04 it should be cpink04… LOL Just thought you would like to know. :D
Ohh! I tried that and it works! Thanks! I’m done wasting comment space in your blog :D
Damnit. I’m a dumbass. Here’s that code I was referring to:
<MTEntries lastn=”10″ category=”Randomness OR Dreams”>
zip file. Hmmm… What did it contain? I don’t even remember if I’d downloaded it. I know I had to download something. I forgot that I’d taken the extended entry code out anyway so I’ll have to stick that back in there.
Soo, you don’t have anything like
which lists the categories you want shown on the index or other pages?
On my index.php page, I have this:
<$MTEntryBody$>
<MTEntryIfExtended>
<span class=”extended”>
<A href=”<$MTEntryPermalink$>”>Read “<$MTEntryTitle$>”.</A>
</span>
<BR>
</MTEntryIfExtended>
Did you download that zip file that was linked in the tutorial?
Ok. I’ve got a question for you. How did you get those private entries linked like that? When I set my private category to display on the index, it displays the entire entry and not just the extended entry link.
