Movable Type Question… Help!
Can I run an upgrade and just have it nuke my current templates?
For some reason, no matter how hard I try to copy the templates over from a vanilla setup, none of the archive links work. They end up being exported empty. Yes, I’ve setup the archive mappings.
Right now, I just want my content with vanilla templates. I’ll take it from there… So far, this is taking waaaay too long.
Any ideas? Email me at steve@steve-lacey.com, as comments are off until I can get this upgrade completed.
Update: Solved! It’s actually a bug in Movable Type. I found a post regarding a similar problem over here on the SixApart forums and it turns out that the solution described there fixed it. Somehow, my entry listing templates were not marked in the database as the templates to use for categories. A simple flip of a bit by groveling around inside the database and the problem is solved.
Now I just need to actually finish up the template rewrites and I’ll be golden. Don’t hold your breath…
