Creating a Photoblog in Moveabletype
Earlier I had written about free picture gallery scripts. In the end I ended up making the 4×4 Offroaders Club Karachi Picture Gallery in Moveabletype. I used Quixotic Pixels excellent Tutorial for Creating a Photoblog. I modified it further, and…

usually – servers aren't set up to process .html pages like php. If you haven't done anything to make it do that – then that may be part of the problem. Try changing all your pages to .php. (Go to blog config and change the extension there – and then make sure your index pages (in templates) are named with a .php extension. This will kill your previous links – so if you'd rather not do that – and just do the hack to make html pages process like php – see this post.

Nevermind, I found a php tutorial on virtualvenus and it works beautifully. Now the only question I have is if you can reset the votes to zero, because while testing It accidentally made 11 votes for an unknown entry (it is blank) and I want to delete that if possible. I'm guessing I should just take out the php code from the template and re-enter it?

Hi Jennifer, thanks for the great hack! I came here via Quixotic Pixels' photoblog tutorial, and I'm trying to install the favorite posts script here, and everything works beautifully, except I can't get the listings of votes via the php code listed in my template. I'm running MT and the pages are static .html, do i need to write anything around the php code? Do i need to make all of my pages php, and if so, how do i do that? I'm thinking there's just something missing since my pages are static, and the template module i'm using is static as well. Thanks for any help you can give me.
Double checking info:
I did not modify the code at all, the problem is on the main page via my url, and my php code is

$displayfavfile = "/HOME/SERVER/PATH/TO/displayfavfile.php";
if (file_exists($displayfavfile )) {
include $displayfavfile;
}
?>

Hey, this is a good idea.

I don't run PHP on my server, but I wonder if I could figure out how to create a plugin, borrowing the logic from your code.

Hmm. Gotta sit down and see if I can design the interface I want…
