mt-rebuild: The rebuild script to end all rebuild scripts.

By Timothy Appnel on March 31, 2003 2:45 PM | No Comments | No TrackBacks

I've released mt-rebuild, a utility script for rebuilding a MovableType template from the command-line as opposed to the standard MT browser interface. This is particularly helpful when combined with cron to automatically update a part of your site on a regular basis. An example would be the updating of syndicated content feeds using the mt-rssfeed plugin.

This script depreciates its more limited predecessor mt-rebuild-index that was included in the mt-rssfeed plugin package.

The script can be downloaded from my MT plugins page.
