Welcome! Wikis are websites that everyone can build together. It's easy!

Typepad Integration

To place a "Toast This!" link anywhere in your blog simple use this HTML:

<a href="http://www.winelifetoday.com/submit.php?url=<$MTEntryPermalink$>" ><strong>Toast This!</strong></a>

If you're looking to get hardcore and put it in the footer then follow these instructions. It looks complicated but its really not. You need the Advanced Templates for this.

The MTEntryPostFooter tag displays the footer that you have set for Weblog Post Footer on Weblogs > Edit Design > Change Content Selections page.
Once you have converted to an Advanced Template Set, however, there isn't an easy way to change this option. Instead, you'll need to make direct changes to your Index templates.

Starting with the Main Index Template
Go to Weblogs > Edit Design and click on Main Index Template. In your Main Index Template, look for the following tag:
<$MTWeblogIncludeModule module="entry-list"$>

and then replace it with this (yes, you can cut and paste - just moving their abstractions around a bit here):

<!-- entries -->
<MTEntries>
<MTWeblogPostIfShow field="date_header">
<MTDateHeader><h2 class="date-header"><$MTEntryDate format_weblog_date="1"$></h2></MTDateHeader>
</MTWeblogPostIfShow>

<div class="entry" id="entry-<$MTEntryID$>">
<MTWeblogPostIfShow field="post_title">
<h3 class="entry-header"><$MTEntryTitle$></h3>
</MTWeblogPostIfShow>
<div class="entry-content">

<div class="entry-body">
<$MTEntryBody$>
</div>
<MTEntryIfExtended>
<p class="entry-more-link">
<a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>#more"><$MTTrans phrase="Continue reading"$> "<$MTEntryTitle$>" &raquo;</a>

</p>
</MTEntryIfExtended>
</div>
<p class="entry-footer">
<$MTEntryPostFooter$>
<MTEntryIfAllowComments>

| <a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>#comments"><$MTTrans phrase="Comments"$> (<$MTEntryCommentCount$>)</a>
</MTEntryIfAllowComments>
<MTEntryIfAllowPings>

| <a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>#trackback"><$MTTrans phrase="TrackBack"$> (<$MTEntryTrackbackCount$>)</a>
</MTEntryIfAllowPings>
</p>

</div>
</MTEntries>


Once you've done that, look for the following tag:
<$MTEntryPostFooter$>
And replace it with this:
Posted by <$MTEntryAuthorNickname$> on <$MTEntryDate format="%B %e, %Y"$> <MTEntryIfCategories>in <MTEntryCategories glue=", "><MTBlogIfArchives archive_type="Category"><a href="<$MTCategoryArchiveLink$>"><$MTCategoryLabel$></a>
<MTElse><$MTCategoryLabel$></MTElse>
</MTBlogIfArchives></MTEntryCategories></MTEntryIfCategories> | <a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>">Permalink</a>

Now your footer is exposed. Just add the MT Tags that you want in the footer. Now you're ready to add the "Toast This!" to the footer. Just add this after the "Permalink" statement:

<a href="http://www.winelifetoday.com/submit.php?url=<$MTEntryPermalink$>" ><strong>Toast This!</strong></a>

Publish the blog and double check everything is OK. If columns are messed up then you may have missed some <DIV>, to keep the XML well formed, close everything properly.

Now repeat that for Category Archives, and Databased archives.

Individual Archives is basically the same but the tags you change are slightly different. Open the Individual Archives template and find:

<$MTWeblogIncludeModule module="entry-individual"$>

Replace this with:


<!-- content nav -->

<p class="content-nav">
<MTEntryPrevious><a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>">&laquo; <$MTEntryTitle$></a> |</MTEntryPrevious>
<a href="<$MTBlogURL$>"><$MTTrans phrase="Main"$></a>

<MTEntryNext>| <a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>"><$MTEntryTitle$> &raquo;</a></MTEntryNext>
</p>

<!-- entry -->

<MTWeblogPostIfShow field="date_header">
<MTDateHeader><h2 class="date-header"><$MTEntryDate format_weblog_date="1"$></h2></MTDateHeader>
</MTWeblogPostIfShow>

<div class="entry" id="entry-<$MTEntryID$>">
<MTWeblogPostIfShow field="post_title">

<h3 class="entry-header"><$MTEntryTitle$></h3>
</MTWeblogPostIfShow>
<div class="entry-content">
<div class="entry-body">
<$MTEntryBody$>

</div>
<MTEntryIfExtended>
<a id="more"></a>
<div class="entry-more">
<$MTEntryMore$>
</div>

</MTEntryIfExtended>
</div>
<p class="entry-footer">
<$MTEntryPostFooter$>
</p>
</div>

<MTEntryIfAllowPings>
<div class="trackbacks">
<a id="trackback"></a>
<h3 class="trackbacks-header"><$MTTrans phrase="TrackBack"$></h3>
<div class="trackbacks-info">

<p><$MTTrans phrase="TrackBack URL for this entry:"$><br /><$MTEntryTrackbackLink$></p>
<p><$MTTrans phrase="Listed below are links to weblogs that reference"$> <a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>"><$MTEntryTitle$></a>:</p>

</div>
<div class="trackbacks-content">
<MTPings>
<div class="trackback">
<div class="trackback-content">
<p>

<a id="p<$MTPingID$>"></a>
&raquo; <a rel="nofollow" href="<$MTPingURL$>"><$MTPingTitle$></a> <$MTTrans phrase="from"$> <$MTPingBlogName$><br />

<$MTPingExcerpt$> <a rel="nofollow" href="<$MTPingURL$>">[<$MTTrans phrase="Read More"$>]</a>
</p>
</div>

<p class="trackback-footer">
<$MTTrans phrase="Tracked on"$> <$MTPingDate$>
</p>
</div>
</MTPings>

</div>
</div>
</MTEntryIfAllowPings>

<MTEntryIfAllowComments>
<a id="comments"></a>
<div class="comments">

<h3 class="comments-header"><$MTTrans phrase="Comments"$></h3>
<div class="comments-content">
<$MTWeblogIncludeModule module="comment-list"$>
</div>
</div>

<$MTWeblogIncludeModule module="comment-form"$>
</MTEntryIfAllowComments>

Now find the footer reference again and replace it with your customer footer:

<$MTEntryPostFooter$>

Replace with footer code:

Posted by <$MTEntryAuthorNickname$> on <$MTEntryDate format="%B %e, %Y"$> <MTEntryIfCategories>in <MTEntryCategories glue=", "><MTBlogIfArchives archive_type="Category"><a href="<$MTCategoryArchiveLink$>"><$MTCategoryLabel$></a>
<MTElse><$MTCategoryLabel$></MTElse>
</MTBlogIfArchives></MTEntryCategories></MTEntryIfCategories> | <a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>">Permalink</a>

Now your footer is exposed. Just add the MT Tags that you want in the footer. Now you're ready to add the "Toast This!" to the footer. Just add this after the "Permalink" statement:

<a href="http://www.winelifetoday.com/submit.php?url=<$MTEntryPermalink$>" ><strong>Toast This!</strong></a>
