In working with a client, it became apparent that something was amiss with their server. Anytime we tried to set the offset in an MTEntries container, we would get an error. Please note, this was while using dynamic publishing. Static publishing should be fine. And also, as with most hosts, I’m sure that the folks at Media Template have a variety of installations.
But on this particular server, we finally figured out that they were running a really old version of MySQL. So old that necessary support for a particular directive in a query was missing entirely. That means it needed to be rewritten.
Luckily, it seems like we’ve been able to get it working, because there are always options to this sort of thing.
So if you’re running Movable Type at Media Template and having trouble getting your dynamic pages to work right, Everitz Consulting can likely be of assistance. Let us know how we can help.

Yeah, I had the same problem with my web host running a musty version of MySQL. The offset kept breaking the page, so I had to put those entries in a separate file that wasn’t dynamic and drop them into the dynamic page with a PHP include. Not the most elegant solution, but it works.
