Movable Type.org

Dear Beau,

That's such excellent news for the entire community!

I'm so proud so see movable type turning into the v5.x series.

You may know that I'm working with movable type since v2.x (way back in 2002) and since then I've enjoyed coding movable type stuff, hacking the movable type application in order to adapt it to any publishing needs, as well as writing plugins for it.

I remain very grateful to that wonderful team from San Francisco which imagined and developed movable type. Special thanks to everybody from Six Apart, including my friend Brad Choate for his excellent engineering.

Kind Regards, Mihai Bocsaru

Awesome guys you are brilliant! Been afraid a next delay, but you're did it. :) V5 is a great step forward.

MT5 logo, please :) Already downloaded the press file at movabletype.com and mt logo is the old one...

Awesome! Congrats to the MT team on the release!

They talked about MT5 and Motion during their conference call last month:

MT5 Q & A Conference Call

Sorry to rain on this parade of enthusiasm, but could someone please tell us common folk where to find the documentation for the new tags, attributes and modifiers for MT5?

Late last night I sidled into FogBugz, snooped around a search, slunk into a post, sneaked down the message body and scored some stuff that is essential but is also possibly illicit. Why else would it be hidden away like this?

My loot includes:

<MTMultiBlog mode="context" include_blogs="site" include_with_website="0">
      include_with_website can be 0 or 1
      mode can be context or loop

Also this:

<MTWebsites> is a container tag. It takes these attributes:
      include_websites="n" and exclude_websites="n", where n is the website id

Also this:

blog_ids="all | children | siblings | ID"
include_blogs="all | children | siblings | ID"

<MTWebsites> and the modifiers/attributes for <MTMultiblog> seem to me to be critical to the entire MT5 paradigm, one that is fundamentally different from its predecessor.

Here's a specific example. MT5 new install; create WebsiteA with Blog1 and Blog2. Blog1 has 2 entries, Blog 2 has 5. On WebsiteA's main page, you want to count the total number of entries in that website -- obviously the aggregate of the entries in Blog1 and Blog2. How would you do that? Try any of the existing, documented template syntax. Doesn't work. What does work is:

<mt:multiblog mode="context" include_blogs="site" include_with_website="0">
     <blogentrycount>
</mt:multiblog>

Developing something that is such a huge conceptual shift, how difficult could it have been to grab a pencil and paper and make a note of this new stuff and just stick it onto the documentation page? What's the point in keeping it hidden?

This is like giving us a brand new car -- without an ignition key. Sure I can push it around with some effort, but I can't really drive it, can I?

And before someone jumps down my throat, this stuff is NOT on the MT5 or any other docs page.

Congrats to the entire Movable Type and Six Apart team! MT5 looks awesome.

Hello, is there a change log ?

I love MT 5.01. It is just an awesome improvement over 4x. Only complaint I have is comment pagination needs some serious work.
