If the result list is too large, please consider these hints
- Reduce the number of websites.
- Add more keywords.
- Use quotes for building terms from keywords. For example, the phrase banner image searches for all articles containing both words. However, "banner image" searches for the exact two-word phrase.

Multiblog is an indespensible plugin that allows you to display content from other blogs. Unfortunately, in its current version it doesn't work with dynamic publishing. A few days ago I was investigating the best way to duplicate MultiBlog's functions in the dynamic templating system. As it turns out, Movable Type's powerful dynamic templating system makes it easy to include content from other blogs.
With dynamic publishing all you need to do to pull content from other blogs is to change the blog context of the page. Every tag is parsed within a context which affects the content it outputs. For example, with the MTEntries tag the correct entries are outputted because Movable Type...

UPDATE Fixed a bug with moderation set on Typekey users. Bit to be edited is the code in edit_comment.tmpl
The moderation queue is one of the most powerful features that MT 3 has, and some advocate an aggresive use of it when paired with plugins. Currently, you are able to approve a comment but not unapprove a comment. This hack will add an unapprove button to the edit comment screen that will throw the comment back into moderation.
Open lib/MT/App/CMS.pm and around line 32 find
'approve_comment' => &approve_comment,
and add beneath it
'unapprove_comment' => &unapprove_comment,
Next find
sub list_commenters {
and add above it
sub unapprove_comment { my $app = shift; my $perms = $app->{perms}...

I really like the "Build All Templates Statically" option on the Templates page, however I really wanted a Build All Templates Dynamically option. I posted a feature request on the subject but I don't think it was taken any further, so I took the matter into my own hands, see the screenshot (click for larger image).
Open up MT/App/CMS.pm and search for the following block of text, line #4842.
} elsif ($dcty eq 'archives') { require MT::Template; my @templates = MT::Template->load({ blog_id => $blog->id }); for my $tmpl (@templates) { $tmpl->build_dynamic($tmpl->type ne 'index'); $tmpl->save(); } } elsif ($dcty eq 'custom') {...

Jay Allen has released MT-Blacklist 2.0e. It is an emergency release so you will be facing bugs. If you want to see what 2.0e looks like before you install it, take a look at Neil's tour, althought a few versions old, the GUI has remained much the same !

In this thread, Gary highlighted how to have drop downs of archives that basically redirected to the appropriate page once an archive was chosen. With this tutorial, I'll take that one step further and use AJAX such that when you select an archive, rather than redirecting to the corresponding archive page, the appropriate posts will just replace those currently shown. You can see a pretty basic example heremp;
First of all, here's the AJAX code that you'll need to put within your <head></head> tags <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- var xmlhttp=false; /*@cc_on @*/ /*@if (@_jscript_version >= 5) try { xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP"); }...

Almost all my blogs have the "Set Each Template's Build Options Separately" option selected and the dynamic setting on my hundreds of templates is varied. I wanted to be able to see immediately which templates were and which templates were not rebuilt dynamically from the templates listing view. A screenshot of how this look is above (click for a larger view) Obviously, this hack is only valid for MT versions equal to or greater than 3.1
You will need your list_template.tmpl file. Find
<th width="20%"><MT_TRANS phrase="Build w/Indexes"></th>
and replace it with
<TMPL_IF NAME=DYNAMIC_CUSTOM><th width="10%"><MT_TRANS...

Even more ways to be updated on new posts on Movalog. I've pulled together all my feeds that I generate and have added them to one page. The feeds currently available are separate feeds for Movalog and the Sideblog and a combined set that will display posts as shown on the front page. With the impending release of the directory and forums, two more feeds will appear from each.

From molly.com, Blogging Grows Up tracks MT from the very start through the licensing debacle to where it is now - a few weeks away from 3.1 ! Unless you have a membership with Salon you won't be able to read the full article. Alternatively, you could go through three pages of ads to get a free day pass. If you're interested in how MT evolved this is a very interesting read !

The Email Whitelister plugin has been updated to v1.01 to fix several bugs faced by people.
Also due to popular demand, I've released the Email Blacklister plugin which functions exactly like the Whitelister except it junks comments if the email address entered matches one on the blacklist. Currently the plugin is fairly basic and doesn't allow you to enter any wildcard or regex values. A future version will hopefully contain such functionality.
Happy antispamming!

Some of you may remember the RebuildBlogs plugin I had created that allowed you to selectively rebuild multiple blogs at once. Although the plugin worked as is with 3.2, it didn't take advantage of some of its newest features, namely...
