MT 4.2

I've volunteered to help out with my company's photo blog, but I'm not very familiar with Movable Type. We've been getting a number of errors with the main one being the commenting system.

I've tinkered with the entry listing archive and individual entry archive and either get a link to the wrong posting to comment, or the right posting but commenting error and sometimes a broken link. Either way, it's not working right.

Looks like you are missing a link to http://www.fresnobeehive.com/photos/mt.js which contains the JavaScript needed for the commenting system.

It should be in your HTML head template or the template that holds the standard header for your blog

CODE

I'm a total newbie so I'm kind of scratching my head at your reply, but maybe you can talk me through it. We have a banner header template with this code:

CODE

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
var _miDartOrd = new Date().getTime() * Math.random(2341032);var _miDartInc = 0;_miDartInc++;
<!--
document.write('<scr' + 'ipt language="JavaScript" src="http://ad.doubleclick.net/adj/mi.frsbh/News/Blog;dcopt=ist;dcove=d;loc=ats;pos=NTL2;tile='+_miDartInc+';sz=728x90;ord=' + _miDartOrd +
'?" type="text/javascript"></scr' + 'ipt>');
//-->

</script>

Is that what you mean? How should I link the page with the javascript to it?

Thanks OtherNiceMan!

I'm bumping this since I'm still having trouble. Here's what I get after making a comment:

Comment Submission Error

Your comment submission failed for the following reasons:

Invalid request

Return to the original entry.

Is there a preference I have set wrong or something?

Sorry to take so long,

Look like commenting is working, but in you code I do see that you have the HTML doctype twice and opening html tag. This may cause display problems.
