include “https://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/mt-search.cgi”;

Now this is causing certain issues with the web server processing – and i need to get rid of this. I have looked at the several links offered – and tried most of them. Do you by any chance have a copy of what the “orange haired boy” said abt this. His site is now closed – and hence i am not able to read his article.

Thank you

Just thought I’d include some links 6A was nice enough to send me:

*http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=9&t=51309
* http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=14&t=19952
* http://www.gadgetopia.com/post/2582
(the others, you have)

One I found on my own:
* http://mt-stuff.fanworks.net/php_code/php_wrapper_for_mtsearch.phtml

— I tried the shauninman thing using include(); my isp didn’t like the others. For some reason I can only get it to show using an http: call, not a server path. -weird.

Oh well; Cheers!

-W

I eventually gave up because skinning the search page was so frustrating even though the Red Haired One explained setting up the mechanism very well (I’m not really a code guy, I just started building sites a month ago). Anyway, the frustration of the CGI Comments, Trackbacks, and Search and this entry chain caused me to move over from Movable Type to WordPress.

It’s simply beautiful how it works and if it doesn’t work, someone out there will help you with it. It’s less clunky, cleaner, and less expensive ($0). The only advantage I see MT having over WordPress is multiple blogs, but that’s a minor advantage considering how easy it is to install another WordPress to act as another blog. However, the static pages (the reason why you rebuild in MT, for the impatient MT users out there) do make the site faster for the end-user of an MT blog and slower for the end-user of a WP blog.

Now I’m not trying to convert anyone to WordPress. I just have one question. Is there any way to have a high-volume website using PHP without users getting slowed down? I think I saw a plugin for WordPress that creates static pages, but there must be some way to avoid doing this. Is it too much to hope for?

Might be a slight extra load on the server when the pages are served, but keeps the disk size right down (would be impossible to have individual archives otherwise) and saves having to do any rebuilding if I want to make any changes to the individual archive template, becuase it’s using the comments cgi.
