Chosaq Movable Type templates

A peek under this site’s hood: the Movable Type templates that power chosaq. All available under a Creative Commons attribution license (legal code), which basically means that you can freely reuse, tweak, modify, etc. them under the condition that you give me credit.

On a note aside and before listing the templates, something about this weblog’s category system. There are two categories for chosaq entries: “post” and “reading”. The ones in the “post” category are displayed as normal entries, the “reading” ones live in the sidebar’s “Worth reading” section. This just to explain some oddities you might see when browsing through the templates.

Index templates

• Main Index template: the template for the main page of this blog.
• Master Archive Index template: the template for the page you get to see when clicking the ‘Archives’ link in the sidebar.

Archive-related templates

• Date-Based Archive template: the template for e.g. the archive of October 2003. The path for this archive is defined as <$MTArchiveDate format="%Y/%m/index.html"$>.
• Individual Entry Archive template: the template for e.g. this blog entry. The relevant path is defined as <$MTArchiveDate format="%Y/%m">/<$MTEntryTitle dirify="1"$>.html.

Other templates

• Comment Error template: the template for the page you get to see when accidentally hitting the Post button.
• Search template: the template that lives in MT‘s search_templates folder.

Stylesheets

• Stylesheet for screen display: maybe a bit messy, but well…
• Stylesheet for printing: stripping of unneeded navigation elements, only leaving a page’s main content to be printed.

There you are.

Update 2003-11-12: The Date-Based Archive template and the Individual Entry Archive template had problems with displaying trackback related data. This is fixed now.
