Hybrid news may have been developed without considering it may not be the only blog in the installation.

This is a test after turning captcha (security code) off and if you can read this, it worked.

As an added note, this entry created the error. I fixed it by manually removing the leading dash from the basename in the Entry form.

Upgraded Configuration Assistant last night to version 1.6.1 (latest release) and it fixed the Theme Options database problem. Not sure if the Bio custom field problem was fixed. Will continue testing.

After much research in MT Forums, icdSOFT support and some additional testing, here's what we concluded:

1. A response in the MT Forums indicate MT cannot fix the URL generation (removing leading dashes). I believe they could. It is simply stripping leading dashes (or underscores) from the creation of the URL.

2. icdSOFT sysadmins claim it is a PHP configuration issue (running the server under PHP cgi/suexec). I tested it with the PHP handler disabled and, in fact, the leading dash is not an issue. Unfortunately, we need PHP enabled.

3. I tested the same condition on a GoDaddy server also using PHP and it worked fine and icdSOFT says GoDaddy is probably running PHP under a different PHP handler (mod_php or su_php) .

My next step is to submit a change request to MT Support. In the mean time, we need to avoid non-alpha/numeric leading characters in an Entry Title.

Hello Merv,
I'd like to know more about your SmartPlan. I'm a real estate Broker in California. For many years I've provided professional real estate services for my clients on a fee for services basis. Since most of my business is based under the traditional commission model, I have never developed the consultancy model. I'm ready to restructure my practice to reflect a bundled fee service, unbundled structured fee schedule, and an ala carte service model where my clients pay for only those services they need. Do you give direction in those areas as well?
