Movable Type 3.2 User Manual: Output file

Output file

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:

Output file value	Publishes to...
`index.html`	`SITE_ROOT/index.html`
`css/p/menu.css`	`SITE_ROOT/css/p/menu.css`
`../../otherblog/blog.inc.php`	`SITE_ROOT/../../otherblog/blog.inc.php`
`/var/www/htdocs/blog/index.html`	`/var/www/htdocs/blog/index.html`

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/

Site root
