Movable Type 6.2.2 Release Notes
This version of Movable Type was released November 25, 2015.
NEW AND IMPROVED FUNCTIONS
Improved upload destination path settings
In previous versions, users can choose an upload destination from the listed values only, which makes it difficult to insert a path that a user wants.
In this version, users can customize the upload destination path freely.
You can specify upload path specifiers as follows in the upload destination path.
| Specifier | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| %s | The site path for website/blog. Upload destination must begin with %s or %a. Also, you cannot specify %s and %a at same time. |
/path/to/website |
| %a | The archive path for website/blog. Upload destination must begin with %s or %a. Also, you cannot specify %s and %a at same time. |
/path/to/archive |
| %u | The basename of user | author_basename |
| %y | 4-digit year | 2015 |
| %m | 2-digit month | 09 |
| %d | 2-digit day of the month | 04 |
