NAME

Catalyst::Controller::MovableType - Run Movable Type through Catalyst

DESCRIPTION

Runs Movable Type 5 through Catalyst. Download Movable Type 5 from http://www.movabletype.org/

SYNOPSIS

 package MyApp::Controller::Mt;

 use Moose;
 BEGIN {extends 'Catalyst::Controller::MovableType'; }
 use utf8;

 1;

INSTALLATION

Install Movable Type by extracting the zip into your template root directory. Move mt-static to root/static/mt. See Synopsis on how to inherit the Controller in your app. Presuming you installed Movable Type into root/mt, in your App's config add:

 <Controller::Root>
     cgi_root_path mt/
     cgi_dir mt/
 </Controller::Root>
 <Controller::Mt>
     mt_home = /full/path/to/MyApp/root/mt/
     <actions>
         <capture_mt_script>
             PathPart = mt
         </capture_mt_script>
     </actions>
 </Controller::Mt>

The cgi_* directives are always given for the Root controller, no matter what the Root controller is.

You can modify the path where the script matches by configuring the PathPart as shown above. This controller defaults to match on the path "/mt".

Finally, make sure that the Static::Simple doesn't affect the Movable Type's installation directory. An example:

 __PACKAGE__->config(
     name => 'MyApp',
     static => {
         # first ignore all extensions, then specify static directories!
         'ignore_extensions' => [ qr/.*/ ],
         'dirs' => [ qw/static/ ]
     }
 );

METHODS

capture_mt_script

Captures the path of the Movable Type.

run_mt_script

Runs the requested Movable Type .cgi script transparently with cgi_to_response.

not_found

Sets the response to a simple 404 Not found page. You can override this method with your own.

BUGS

None known.
