mteval
Processes the input string for any MT template tags and returns the output.
Example
Add the
mtevalattribute to the<mt:PageBody>and<mt:PageMore>tags in your Page archive template:So these tags…
<$mt:PageBody$> <$mt:PageMore$>…become:
<$mt:PageBody mteval="1"$> <$mt:PageMore mteval="1"$>Create a page and place the following code within the body of the page. Yes, you read that correctly, put MT tags into the body of a new page.
<p>Latest 3 entries are...</p> <ul> <mt:Entries lastn="3"> <li><$mt:EntryTitle$></li> </mt:Entries> </ul>Publish the page and view the result!
Note: When a new entry is created MT will not know to republish this page, so this is kind of a bad example… but it shows how the feature works. It’s also bad practice because you should separate the code and the content of the site otherwise some user will eventually tinker with it and break it… but then they’ll call you and PayPal you butloads of cash to fix it… so I guess it’s not that bad.
