Dumping Movable Type

I'm getting sick of movable type. Everyone thinks it slow, and it is. It is written by retards, every new release incorporates more bugs then the last version.

I think I'll go and migrate MT to something that works, even a php solution would be ok. I first choose MT because it was written in Perl. But now a PHP solution will satisfy me as wel..

There are only two requirements for this new app.

1) It must support postgresql
2) I must be able to import my movable type entries

So anyone with suggestions, please leave a comment :)

Currently on the testbench:

  • Pivot
    Pro: does not require a database, does rebuilding, works directly out of the box
    Con: has no import or export functionality

  • Blog:CMS
    Pro: has extensive features, import possibility for movable type
    Con: requires MySQL which means it's instantly disapproved

  • Scoop
    Pro: perl engine, very mature software
    Con: requires MySQL which means it's instantly disapproved

MT 3.1 kan je ook in PHP modus draaien hoor. Is ranzig snel, en je hebt nogsteeds de ideale MT backend:)

En laat het nu net die backend zijn die het zo rete traag maakt :)

Ok, I just converted to Pivot. I totally oversaw the not so good documented MT import function. It saved my day :)

Welcome to the Pivot family. If you need help, catch myself and other hardcore Pivot hackers on the Pivot Support Forums: http://forum.pivotlog.net/index.php (I post as “Mick J”.)
Also… 1.20 RC was released last night. If you didn’t use that, you might want to get the upgrade patches.

Actually I’m already running version 1.20 :) Upgraded yesterday!

Ah, okie. :D I was just wondering because the “yes/no” isn’t showing up on your “remember personal info” radio buttons above. There is a CSS fix for that. Check the forums (as I can’t remember exactly which thread it it L).
