Full Version: Another SSI Question

Okay, I've been trying to work on converting my site from using Greymatter to using Movable Type. I use SSI includes with greymatter, to pull the blog files into other pages.

What I'm not sure about is this ... when I use an SSI tag to include the main blog file, and then in order to link to blog archives I tag on a index.shtml?archives/index.htm at the end of the main site URL, and that rebuilds the index file within itself, with the archive file replacing the main blog file (I hope that makes sense). I can't figure out how to do this with MT, though, because the MTArchiveLink tag inserts the entire archive path ... (meaning I can't code it as such: http://www.site.com/index.shtml?$MTAr...chiveLink$, which is similar to how I do it with GM).

Basically, my problem is that I don't know how to continue to use my same method with MT ... is there a way (and did my post make any sort of sense at all?)? Thanks!

Build the URL manually from tags. Like if the archive is at archives/category name.html, use archives/<MTCategoryTitle dirify="1"> or whatever you have in the Archive File Template for that kind of archive.
