okay, so i’ve gotten the new webhost<\/a> set up and, as i’ve mentioned, it should be visible to everyone in the next couple of days.
\nof course, since i was moving locations, i decided to upgrade to the latest and greatest version of moveable type<\/a> while i was at it. i really wanted to take advantage of dynamic archiving (since part of the problems i had at my last host was from my rebuilding over two thousand archive pages when i made changes to the stuff on the sidebar) and future posting, which i just think is really cool.
\none of the problems with upgrading or reinstalling mt is that i lose all the small changes i’ve made to the code to make things work the way i like them. this upgrade also required that i upgrade mt-blacklist<\/a> and both of the new applications have totally revamped their code since the last time i fiddled with hacks. therefore, now that i’ve figured out where to make these changes, i’m archiving them here on the blog and making them available to anyone who googles successfully. i couldn’t find direct answers, so i hope this will help someone somewhere.
\nfirst, is my version of the more meaningful comment notifications tweak<\/a>:<\/p>\n

in file: \/plugins\/Blacklist\/lib\/Blacklist\/App\/Sumbmission.pm<\/code>
\n(at or near) line 735<\/u>
\nchange it from:<\/p>\n
  my %head = ( To => $recipients,<\/pre>\n
      From => $from_addr,<\/pre>\n
      Subject =><\/pre>\n
            '[' . $blog->name . '] ' .<\/pre>\n
            $app->translate('New Comment Posted to \\'[_1]\\'',<\/pre>\n
            $entry->title)<\/pre>\n
      );<\/pre>\n
to:<\/p>\n
# HACK:  alter the comment notification subject appearance<\/pre>\n
#   was:   [freakishly prompt] New Comment Posted to 'help!'<\/pre>\n
#   now:   [ help! ] by Bubba - freakishly prompt<\/pre>\n

   my %head =  ( To => $recipients,<\/pre>\n
      From => $from_addr,<\/pre>\n
      Subject => '[ ' . $entry->title . ' ] by ' . <\/pre>\n
                 $comment->author . ' - ' . $blog->name<\/pre>\n
   ); <\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
second, my version of the comment notification hack<\/a> (comments you make on your own blog will no longer be emailed to you):<\/p>\n
in file: \/plugins\/Blacklist\/lib\/Blacklist\/App\/Sumbmission.pm<\/code>
\n(at or near) line 810<\/u>
\nchange it from:<\/p>\n
    MT::Mail->send(\\%head, $body)<\/pre>\n
        or return $app->handle_error(MT::Mail->errstr());<\/pre>\n
to:<\/p>\n
# HACK:  prevent your own comments from being emailed to you<\/pre>\n
# first found at<\/pre>\n
# http:\/\/www.kalsey.com\/2002\/08\/comment_notification_hack\/<\/pre>\n
    MT::Mail->send(\\%head, $body)<\/pre>\n
        unless $author->email eq $comment->email;<\/pre>\n
#    or return $app->handle_error(MT::Mail->errstr());<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
these work for me in mt 3.15 and mt-blacklist 2.04b.  no warranties expressed or implied, your mileage may vary and i take NO responsibility for the outcome.  before you change anything, remember to save a copy of the original file.  it’s only common sense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
