Help! I broke my templates index

Posted
February 11 2005

When I try to open the Templates section for this weblog in my Movable Type install, I get the following message:

maketext doesn't know how to say:
___
as needed at lib/MT.pm line 1120

I can open the respective template section of the other weblog that run on the same install, but I can�t seem to create new templates.

Editing template.db (yes, I�m using Berkeley DB) in order to replace the string ___ only seems to make things worse.

Help! (Please?)

I know this advice may come in too late, but this is caused by a bug in Movable Type 3.x:

In 2.6 you could have _ in template names, in 3.x you cannot, for some insane reason.

If you had been using MySQL, it would have been as easy as just replacing/removing "_" using phpmyadmin, or by querying the db directly. Since you are on BerkeleyDB, you, my friend are basically screwed.

Thanks for your comment, Arve. Luckaly I could retrieve the information from the BerkeleyDB via mt
