How to find which template you want to edit on your site using MovableType
This is Goto from the web team
MovableType, abbreviated as MT
when you've written articles for a while but never made any design changes, or when someone else customized the site and you
were asked to edit the design even though you don't know much about it.
This article is aimed at people who know what parts of the site they want to edit, but don't know where to actually edit them .
So, what you need to tweak is
the "template." MT stores the layout of the site as templates for each component, and combines them on the server to output HTML.
A list of templates will appear in the MT admin panel under [Design] => [Templates]. All
you have to do is order or edit it to your liking and you're done.
Please refer to
the official documentation
on MT tags when editing It's hard to read in black and white. I'd like syntax highlighting.
Now, back to the main topic of this article. If
you are confused by the large number of templates, you can identify which one to use by following the steps below.
MT is the guy who puts all the data into the database, so let's search for it in the database
manner
select template_id, template_name from mt_template where template_text like "% {Copy and paste the source you want to edit here} %";

Now you know the ID and name of the template or widget you want to edit. It's quick and easy.
All you have to do is go
to [Design] => [Templates] in the admin panel, find the template with the matching ID, and edit it.
That's all
