Movabletype Broken?
I seem to have broken something in Movabletype here and I am not sure how to fix it. I haven't made any major changes that I know of but when I log into the web UI to type a new post I can put in a title and change the category but it won't let me type in the text field. It's all grayed out and whatnot. Weird. Anyone have a clue as to what it might be?
Oh, this entry? I am using Windows Live Writer. I occasionally use it although lately I prefer to just use the built-in MT editor because WLW inserts crazy crap and I have to use the html view if I am inserting any kind of JavaScript because it screws it up and sometimes doubles up videos and stuff.
Guess I will just have to deal with it for a while.
Speaking of the site, I went through and got rid of a couple of now non-existent blogs from my blogroll and added a couple more that I have been wanting to. I used to use blogrolling for it and then tried an MT plugin which got broken with MT4, now I just manually edit the code. It's a bit harder but I don't have to worry about upgrades breaking my list.
Other blog stuff I am doing include setting up a new domain but this time it's not a blog. Armchair Detectives is a forum built on Movabletype using MT-Forums by Mark Carey, a very prolific plugin creator for MT. I use several of his plugins here and they are among the few that I have been willing to purchase. Anyhow, Armchair Detectives is for people interested in crime, murders, missing people, etc...If that's your style, head on over. There isn't shit for topics right now but I am certainly open for ideas. I am also looking for a couple of folks that might be interested in being admins and posting new topics, moderating, etc. This are is one of my interests the last couple of years but I just don't know if I have the time to devote to make the forums stand out. I lurk in some of the other forums like Web Sleuths and have come across some really interesting material there but along with it I have come across some real dumbasses and would like to have some serious discussion here. Feel free to sign up and if there are any bugs or anything looks weird, let me know. MT-Forums is fairly new and I need to make sure the site is working properly.
It sounds like it could be a java-script problem. Try re uploading the mt-static directory?!
Yeah, I tried that earlier, then ended up re-uploading the entire installation. I think it must be one of the plugins I am using but I could have sworn I had written a couple of entries since I created the forums at armchairdetectives.net
I actually seems like it might be a permissions setting. I'm going to look at my directory permissions and make sure my host didn't change anything.
