Movable Type 4 upgrade

| 1 Comment | No TrackBacks

To my thousands of loyal RSS readers, (and by that I mean Chris K.) sorry for the republishing of all my entries today. I hope you enjoyed re-reading them. Actually, it's the result of upgrading from MovableType 3 to version 4 provided by ITS. Here are the two gotchas I encountered:

  • The new default for blog entries uses hyphens instead of underscores to create the permalinks. If you care to keep your permalinks consistent when you upgrade your blog, you can set MT4 to use underscores. See this very short thread.

  • My favorite browser, Opera, doesn't work well with the MT4 admin interface for editing templates. I would say that I fat-fingered something but the quirkiness I encountered makes me think instead that Opera didn't correctly interpret the javascript being used there. I fixed the problems with Firefox. Use Firefox if you're editing templates in MT4.
Otherwise, the upgrade was fine. Thanks, Blog Team.

Coming up next week: Cisco training on upgrading from Call Manager 4.x to 6.1. I'll post some notes and thoughts related to Penn State's implementation if permitted.

I even read this one! I haven't taken the MT4 plunge yet myself. I will probably wait until I have a pending deadline that I need to ignore to make the move.
