Simply providing the author/artist and album/book title in the keyword search isn't doing it -- I keep getting books instead of DVDs and audio CDs. Fortunately, that's just rewriting a Macro or two (er, four).

Add Quick Reply phpBB hack to MT.

2004-01-11T02:28:42-08:00

http://www.phpbbhacks.com/viewhack.php?id=540 I've already got this simple but elegant hack working in phpBB. Now it's just a matter of porting it to my MT installation. [EDIT] Done! Want to know how to do it yourself? Read on! (Note: This MT add-on assumes you've already installed the fluffyblog Using phpBB as your MovableType comment engine in 23847392 easy steps tutorial to your MovableType installation.

"; if ($display_userdata && $display_userdata['session_logged_in']) Insert the following code above the lines. // // Quick Reply Mod // if ( $can_watch_topic && $is_watching_topic ) { $notify = 1; } else { $notify = $display_userdata['user_notify']; } $quick_reply_form = " "; if ($display_userdata['session_logged_in']) { $quick_reply_form .= ""; } echo $quick_reply_form; // // END Quick Reply Mod // Now, in MT, open the archive template you wish to display the quick comment form in and insert the following code at the very top of the template: Also, place the following code where you want your comments and comment form to appear in your template: ; ThreadDisplay($thread_id); ?> Don't forget to remove the old phpBB comments display from that template! Otherwise, you'll see the phpBB comments displayed twice! That should do it. Save, Rebuild, Etc. and, so long as you're currently logged in to phpBB, you should see a quick comment form. p.]]>

Wolfe Camera dropped from linkshare merchant list

2004-01-09T06:37:53-08:00

So I'll have to update the Fujifilm affiliate links in my bicycle touring packing list outfitting the multimedia traveller and to some new merchant. [DONE] Actually, wasn't linked to Wolfe Camera anyway, but this got me motivated to clean up some of the other stuff.

[EDIT 21 JAN 04] OK, got one down -- http://www.scriptygoddess.com/archives/004014.php You can see it at work under the Counter Flow heading in the sidebars. Just beware that step #3 can cause problems for some php versions. See http://www.onaje.com/php/article.php4/43 for reasons why. Next I'll work on the MT Sideblog tutorials which have an interesting implementation of MTAmazon!

Fix 100% width banner table

2003-12-25T18:40:59-08:00

With the current CSS banner class, a 100% width table forces the banner to be GT the window width. In Netscape, this doesn't cause any problems...but in IE -- lookout! Have to rethink the banner formatting. [EDIT] OK, that's done. Much better... Also changed the templates for NoMad MaN to match My Messy Workbench.

AHA! Add forum notification!

Q: How can I get the category(ies) to display with my entry?

2003-12-15T19:52:45-08:00

<$MTEntryTitle$> I wrapped them in two-cell tables, like this.

<$MTEntryTitle$>

<$MTCategoryLabel$>

The title is in the left hand cell and the piece of code from MT Wiki is in the right-hand cell. I set that cell to right justify. No sweat! p.
