Hi, I am upgrading to MT 3.2 on a linux server. I was installing the latest Scode which is php based. I have eliminated the php errors but still have a problem that appears to be common. When a user enters a comment and the code, an message appears that says "In an effort to curb malicious coment posting by abusive users, I"ve enabled a feature that requires a weblog commenter to wait a short amount of time before being able to post again. Pleast try to post your comment again in a short while. Thanks for you patience". The code is displaying properly, the scode directory has the correct permissions, etc. I have a posting on the movalo plugin forums but they seem to have the same problem. Any suggestions on how to allow users to post comments? Thanks

I installed RT 3.0.10 on a RedGat 9 server with Apache. I did the rpm install of Rt. I have the site up but on the index.html page, the RT logo is just an X. Docs and questions I read said /html/Elements/ folder should be in share/Elements. I do not think it sees the Elements folder. I have all the perl modules installed. Is there something I am missing? Thanks

I know I should try it first and then ask. I appologize. I tried to add a second tag to the entry and I get a runtime error "line 121, object doesn't support this property or method". Then I tried to add one, save, then add a second, with the same results. Are more than one tag allowed for an entry? thanks

Thanks for your help. But in the description for the category, is the <!---tags---> that the plugin put there. So do I remove it and put a description instead. Sorry to question you so much about this.

Thank you for all your help. I have got the functionality working, for the most part. I created a php index page of just the tags in the MTTags container. I get the tags I entered, but how do I get the description. I reference the MTTagDescription, but it is blank. I opened the category field but the description is <!--tag-->, put there by the perl program. The same was true when I had it on the Main Index file. How do I get the description entered and printed? Can I just change the category desc. Thanks

--- i may be tagging. I copied exactly what you have for the Main Index and it seems to work. What do you have in the Individual Entry Archive template? Do you have it in any other templates? Thank you so much You said earlier that you were using the plugin tags on your Main Index template. Assuming you are, are the plugin tags within a set of MTEntries tags? ><MTEntries lastn="7"> <MTEntryTags> <$MTTagName$> - <$MTTagDescription$><br /> </MTEntryTags> </MTEntries> At the point in the code where your error is occuring, it looks to me like the error is being caused by the MTEntryTags plugin tag not being in an MTEntries context in your Main Index template. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

*** I moved the plugins directory to cgi-bin and now I see the Configure Active plugins. Unfortunatly when I try and make an entry or post a comment, I get the following error I moved my plugin directory and I see the listing of plugins on the mt.cgi page, but now I get the following error Can't call method "blog_id" on an undefined value at /var/www/html/weblogs/cgi-bin/plugins/tags/tags.pl line 175 Any clue???? Thanks so much The "Configure Active Plugins" section on the main mt.cgi will appear below the list of your weblogs only if you have at least one MT3 plugin installed. SCode is not an MT3 plugin, but Tags is, so the "Configure Active Plugins" section should be displayed, with the Tags plugin listed in it. The fact that it does not indicates that the Tags plugin is probably not installed correctly. Another way to verify this would be to look at the "View Source" from your weblog's main index page. You should see a closing /MTEntryTags tag in the HTML source code, and this is another indication that the Tags plugin is not properly installed. You might also take a look at the MT Activity Log and see if any errors are reported there relating to the Tags plugin. Assuming that you're installing the plugin file to the correct location (plugins/tags/tags.pl), I'd suggest re-uploading the tags.pl file, making sure to upload it in ASCII mode and that the uploaded file overwrites the existing one on the server. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

--- My plugins directory is in the directory above cgi-bin. My mt.cfg does not have a field specifying the location of the plugin directory? I'm wondering if it is looking in cgi-bin/plugins.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP ----That is exactly where the files are installed. The entry screen field for the tags changed from headings to tags, so it is using the correct .tmpl ---- ---- Unfortunatly I am not sure of the difference between the two. This was my first install and I brought over the data from a 2.6 server. ------ That is what I had in my Main Index. I also added a heading and all that displayed is a heading. I put quotes around the MTTagName just to see the difference and when I brought up the blog, all I say were the quotes and the heading on the Main Index screen. ----- I entered the tags on the entry screen where I make a blog entry. I didn't add the entry to a category. I understand it is supposed to add to the categories (as I am doing category archiving), and it didn't. ------ This is what I put in my Main Index template. ><h2>TAGS</h2> <MTTags> <$MTTagName$> </MTTags> ------- I do not see a Configure Active Plugins item on the mt.cgi page. I have the scode.pl plugin installed and working. ---- Where do you see the tags? Thanks

I downloaded and installed the tags.pl plugin for Movable Type 3.16, from >http://www.sixapart.com/pronet/plugins/plugin/tags.html I put the plugin in the plugin directory, and the entry file where specified. The readme said there were new tags so I added the following to the Main Index template. ><$MTTagName$> The MTTagName field is surrounded by the container tag MTEntryTags. On the blog entry screen I entered a tag, but when I try and display it on the Main Index I don't see the tags entered with the blog entry. If I enclose the MTTagName field in quotes, all I see is quotes. How can I get the tags and their links to display? Was there a problem with the plugin that someone knows how to fix. Thanks for any help that can be provided.

Thanks. I'll tell him to give it a try.

I have Movable Type 3.16 installed on a RedHat server. When I was running 3.121, a very experienced user noticed that sometimes after he posted an entry, it didn't immediately show up on the index.html page. There were instances when it didn't show up for some time (although it did appear in the daily entries). Has anyone experienced this?
