This field contains the name of the template as shown in the template listing. Although the field is free-form, you should avoid non-alphanumeric characters (spaces are fine) and redundant template names within a particular weblog.

This field contains the filename and, optionally, the filesystem path to which Movable Type should publish an index template. If a relative path is used, it is relative to the blog's Site Root directory.

Examples

In the following examples, SITE_ROOT represents the blog's site root directory:

In the third example above, the '..' is geekspeak for the parent directory. So in English, that output file value means:

"Write the published file for this index template out to blog.inc.php in the directory otherblog which is two directory levels above SITE_ROOT"

Represented visually, it would be:

grandparent/
    otherblog/
        blog.inc.php
    parent/
        SITE_ROOT/

This field contains the path to the linked file for a particular template. See Editing a Template using an External Editor for more details on linked file usage.

For relative file paths, the root is typically the MT directory, but this can vary in particular server environments so we recommend specifying a full path (i.e. starting with a slash '/') for this field.
