Action Stream: Newsfeed

The Action Streams plugin is great, but one area it causes trouble for some users is that there is no Atom or RSS feed service. The closest option is to use the Website service and hope that auto-discovery will find the feed you want, but there are many circumstances where that simply isn’t a feasible option. This plugin remedies that with Atom and RSS services.

Asset Mover

The Asset Mover plugin for Movable Type and Melody allows you to move a file-based asset to a different location. For example, you may want to move http://site.com/blog/file.jpg to http://site.com/blog/assets/file.jpg.

AssetFileModified

Enables publishing of assets and/or asset metadata, sorted by actual upload time!

Categories by Date

Categories are not a date-related object in MT, so publishing categories in a date-structured way isn’t possible.

The CategoriesByDate plugin adds a block tag that will sort categories by date, with the most recently updated first. To determine the order of the categories, each category is compared to newest entry it is used in and that entry’s date sorts the category.

Click Tagging

The Click Tagging plugin for Movable Type and Melody provides an alternate tagging interface: click-to-tag.

Contact Forms

The Contact Forms plugin for Movable Type provides a comprehensive solution for allowing site administrators to manage multiple ways for their site’s visitor’s to contact them and ask them questions them questions via a simple form submission. Contact form submissions are then stored in the database and tracked to ensure that every message is replied to, and to make all responses searchable.

Create Duplicate Entry

This plugin provides a simple interface to duplicate an entry in the same blog or to another blog in the same installation. All entry content (including Custom Fields) is preserved in the duplication. Entry status can be preserved, or entries can be marked Unpublished in the duplicated entry.

Default Category

This plugin lets you specify a default category for entries. There’s not much more to it than that.

Entry CSV Export

A plugin for Movable Type installations which provides a very basic export-to-CSV functionality for entries/pages to facilitate easier review of entry/page metadata.

GeoType

GeoType is a plugin for Movable Type that uses the Google Maps API to tie geographic coordinates to an MT object.

Hot Date

Do you schedule entries, or otherwise mo

ID Shorts

This plugin provides a way to pass an entry ID or other shortcode to a cgi script and have it send the user to the entry permalink.

Image Metadata Extractor

A Movable Type and Melody plugin that extracts Image EXIF data from assets and makes the data available through a set of template tags.

Max Image Width

A Movable Type and Melody plugin that provides a way to enforce a max image or thumbnail width for uploaded images to prevent users from uploading photos too wide for a column.

More Listing Framework Columns

Movable Type’s Listing Framework is a fantastic way to get an overview and review content — it’s responsible for the “Manage” screens. The column sorting and filtering options are very powerful!

You may have noticed, however, that not all content is visible on the Listing Framework screens. This plugin adds more columns to the Listing Framework, including Custom Fields!

By default, user-created Listing Framework filters are available to only the user that created them. Any user can access them through System Overview > Listing Filters, however this is less convenient than simply having them available on the screen they are for. So, this plugin will also make any user-created filter available to all users, making it easy to share filters with all users.

Poll Position

Poll Position adds a fast and easy way to create polls in Movable Type. Add a poll to your site by simply choosing Poll from MT’s Create menu. Maintain an unlimited number of polls, along with an unlimited number of responses

Private Label Feed

Private Label Feed gives you more control over the URL you use for your Atom/RSS feed without sacrificing the features (such as user statistics) of feed proxies like Feedburner

Publish Offline

Publish Offline adds the ability to publish a blog to an alternate directory, in addition to the Blog Site Path where the blog is already published. Before writing files to the target directory will rewrite all URLs as relative, creating a site that can be browsed offline or locally.

Publishing Priorities

This plugin provides the means to fine-tune a template’s priority. Additionally, this plugin provides an option to make a gross adjustment to the entire blog’s priority, useful to prioritize at a more global level.

Random Entries

This plugin provides a single argument to be used with the Entries block tag to return a random entry each time a template is published.

Recommended Search Results

The Recommended Search Results plugin for Movable Type and Melody aims to give users more relevant search results.

Related Items

Related Items provides a custom field type that allows users to relate the current object to any Taggable object. Said differently, with this custom field you can relate a system object (Entry, Page, Category, Folder, or User) to Taggable objects: assets, entries, and pages.

Remove Objects

The Remove Objects plugin provides a way for administrators to easily delete objects in Movable Type.

Share

Share takes the simple “email to a frien

Store Front

Adds the ability for administrators to define for use on their web site a collection of products which can be sold through a selection of payment processors, like PayPal or Google Checkout for the express purpose of allowing users to assemble a digital store front, or put a “pay wall” in front of select pieces of content quickly and easily using Movable Type or Melody.

Structured Content Wizard

The Structured Content Wizard plugin for Movable Type and Melody makes structured blogging and creating form-based content easy! Simply create a step-by-step wizard interface for authors to work with.

That's Hot

A Movable Type and Melody plugin that allows editors to manage topics on their web site, where a topic is a simple way of aggregating related stories together into a more focused vertical.

Theme: Charity

The Charity theme allows for rapid deployment of a charity-focused site, with some of the common features found on such a site — though to be honest, it includes features anybody may like! This theme is based on Classic Blog, Minimalist but includes a number of additional features.

Theme: Classic Blog Theme Pack

This is a theme pack for Movable Type and Melody based on the old default “Classic Blog” design, and is also a complete reference example for the Theme Manager plugin.

Theme: Patrick

Patrick is a theme for Melody (and Movable Type), sure, but it’s also more than that. With over 100 Theme Options, infinite color schemes, and “callback” fields, Patrick is a flexible theme framework that makes it easy to create a unique site from this one design.

Theme: Scrapbook

The Scrapbook theme was originally developed for danandsherree.com in 2005. Some day I hope to create a new design for danandsherree.com, and when that happens I would like to have Scrapbook preserved. And that’s what this is: an attempt to preserve some work from many years ago.

Theme: Shady

Shady contains two themes for Movable Type: a blog and a photo gallery.

This is an old theme — my first, in fact — originally developed for a client in 2007(?), I believe. It surely contains lots of old and outdated methods, though I have begun updating some of that (example: making better use of Config Assistant and Theme Manager’s capabilities).

User Blog Association

Assign a role and blog to a user specifically (and only) when the user interacts with that blog.

This is different from using the “(newly created user)” functionality, because “(newly created user)” will associate a user with every blog that has a “(newly created user)” defined. Also, “(newly created user)” will only create associations for new users; existing users are never updated.

Website & Blog Organizer

This plugin for Movable Type makes it easy to reorganize the website and blog hierarchy. This can be especially useful after upgrading from Movable Type 4, before websites were introduced.

Widget Saver

This plugin adds two checkboxes to the Template Refresh screen: Save the Widget Sets, and Save the Widgets. Enabled by default, they will cause the Template Refresh to ignore any existing Widget Sets or Widgets. Ta da!

Wordometer

When writing an entry, I like to have an
