Thanks guys, will give sites a go.

Hi everyone, I have a little problem that I'm trying to solve. I'm basically trying figure out how best to organise an unknown amount of thumbnails into rows and columns. The thumbnails are generated from movable type entries. I'm trying to have them organised in a grid format. I don't think using a table will work because I'm unsure as to how many thumbnails there will be; so I can't determine the number of rows and columns. I'd appreciate and help, even if its a link to a easy to understand tutorial. Thanks.

Hi Bruce, good suggestion, I think I'll do that...because as you know, the comments/documentation in some scripts aren't always clear to non-programmers like myself. On a quick note though, the only real difficulty in using the script is knowing exactly what perl modules are needed, and if they're loaded on your server or not. If you find you need a module thats not loaded on the server, simply fill out a ticket at the help desk and ask nicely. Anyway, I'll put together a little tutorial and post it here. Thanks to all that helped; Lisa, Rob and TCH tech support. Rock Sign

Hi Lisa, finally got it working Thumbs Up . Once the latest modules were loaded, thanks to Liz at support, everything now works smoothly. Thanks for taking the time out to help. bye, Henry.

Hi Lisa, the suggestion regarding ftp'ing the script to the server instead of uploading it in file manager seems to have helped. The script is not quite running smoothly yet, but at least I'm getting the emails with the error messages. The latest error messages is indicating that a perl module needs to be updated. I guess I'll have to put in a help ticket request and see what happens. Thanks again. Henry.

Hi Lisa, thanks for all the help, really am greatful. I set up a cron job, and got this message via my email:- (since deleted the cron, waiting to figure out what to do next) Hi Rob, I uploaded the file using Cpanel's file manager uploader. Is that a bad thing? :Nerd:

hi Lisa, 1) I wasn't aware of that, how am I supposed to test the script. ( excuse the lack of knowledge) 2)the permission is a 755 3) error log is full with:- >Fri Nov 12 14:50:22 2004] [error] [client 81.152.240.148] File does not exist: /home/demubrni/public_html/500.shtml [Fri Nov 12 14:50:22 2004] [error] [client 81.152.240.148] Premature end of script headers: /home/demubrni/public_html/MTpop2blog.pl

Changed the variables, uploaded the perl script to the server and the ran the script. No luck, didn't work, getting an error message:- >The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@veryfewwords.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. The first time I ran the script I got a browser debugging message indicating an error on line 65. Corrected it, ran it again, and nothing but the error message above. Can confirm all the modules have been loaded. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all, I'm looking to install a script (MTpop2blog) to enable my to post entries into my MovableType blog via email. I have a general understanding of what the script does, and know(I think I know) of the variables I need to change in the script in order for it to work on my POP account. I've had TCH install the required perl modules needed for the script to work. I'm now at the stage where I'm uncertain of a few things:- 1. Where the script is placed on the server (cgi-bin or scgi-bin?)? 2. Will the scripts file extension need to be changed from .pl to .cgi? 3. Will the script require a cron job? 4. Could I use the Email Filter (Redirect to script) instead of a cron job to run/call the script? Meaning I'd have a designated email address I use to activate the script. Sorry to ask all these questions here, but the author of the scripts hasn't asnwered any questions on his forum lately. MTpop2blog.zip

Just fixed the problem... the flash movies needed to be in the same directory as the html file they were embedded in. This only applies when you are using the Load Movie command in Flash. and thanks Bruce for the Warm Welcome, Merci. Bye.

The embedded swf file in the html calls the 2nd movie which is a sound loop. Thanks anyway. Will continue to look for solution. ..

For some funny reason the load movie command is not working on my flash movie. The main file loads alright but the second movie fails to load. It works fine on my hard drive, but fails to work on the server. I Even uploaded the 2 files to a different server and it worked there. Can someone click on this link for me to see if the second movie loads. The second movie is simply a small file playing a looped sound. Very Few Words Thanks,
