The switch of this site to the new 3.2 version of Movable Type took a little longer than expected but it was well worth the wait ! <\/p>\nThe switch of this site to the new 3.2 version of Movable Type took a little longer than expected but it was well worth the wait ! <\/p>\n
After using it for a couple of days, I keep finding little changes here and there, interface improvements, better icons… overall, the new Administration is clean and streamlined. More importantly, it makes sense. <\/p>\n
I won’t go into the main features of this new version. Other sites such as Planet Movable Type are doing that in a much better way than I would. <\/p>\n
One word of warning though if you are using IIS6 and Perl 5.6 on Windows like I am. Some Perl scripts included in the new version simply refused to run. <\/p>\n
That can be a problem if the script you are trying to run is ‘mt-upgrade.cgi’ or even ‘mt.cgi’. <\/p>\n
It turns out the path to the new perl libraries was not defined properly. Thanks to a quick email to Six Apart’s support line (answered by Brad Choates no less \ud83d\ude42 ), a solution magically appeared in my inbox. <\/p>\n
Simply add these 3 lines to the ‘.cgi’ files using the new ‘Boostrap’ method : <\/p>\n
use File::Basename;
use File::Spec;
use lib File::Spec->catdir(dirname($0), "lib"); <\/p>\n
(These lines should be added right after ‘use strict;’). <\/p>\n
Now I just have to find enough time to study the new system of styles and the StyleCatcher plugin. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
