Unrecognized Tags

Plugin: Unrecognized Tags
Author: sixapart

Overview

This plugin is useful to system administrators who need to quickly scan an installation for any and all template tags that are unrecognized by the system. Unrecognized tags can result from the following:

core template tags being removed after first being deprecated
disabling a plugin that provides template tags that templates depend upon
deleting a plugin that provides template tags
a plugin that is broken for some reason

This plugin helps save you time because Movable Type will throw an error message when it encounters an unrecognized tag in the course of rebuilding, or when you edit a template containing one, but this means that in order to identify all such tags you must either open every template or repeatedly rebuild, resolve or the first tag encountered (which will stop the rebuild), and then try rebuilding again.

UnrecognizedTags is intended to simplify this process. It can be especially useful when upgrading, or preparing to use or discontinue use of a particular plugin, or for large or legacy installations all of whose blogs and templates aren't fully understood by the people currently dealing with the system.

Usage

The plugin adds an "Unrecognized Tags" menu item to the Tools menu at the System Overview level. When you select this item, UnrecognizedTags will generate and display a listing of all usages of unrecognized tags, grouped by tag, and listing the blog and template (with a link to edit the template) in which each usage occurs.

Support

"UnrecognizedTags" is not an official Six Apart release, and as such support from Six Apart for this plugin is not available.

Comment Author Context

2009-04-21T20:06:20Z

Plugin: Comment Author Context
Author: brad

Overview

In the context of a comment, all <$mt:AuthorSOMETHING$> function tags refer to the author of the entry or page where the comments were left. This default behavior in Movable Type (as of MT4.25) creates a situation where it is never possible to output author data for a commenter.

Description

The CommentAuthorContext plugin creates a block tag called <mt:CommentAuthorContext> in which <$mt:AuthorSOMETHING$> function tags will refer to the author of the comment.

Usage

Create a "user" CustomField. We'll use <$mt:AuthorDataTwitter$> for this example.
Place the <mt:CommentAuthorContext> block tag inside the <mt:Comments> tag block (typically in the entry or page detail template).
Place your "user" CustomFields inside the <mt:CommentAuthorContext> tag block.

Final code might look something like this:

<mt:Comments>
    <mt:CommentAuthorContext>
        <a href="http://twitter.com/<$mt:AuthorDataTwitter$>/"><$mt:AuthorDataTwitter$></a>
    <mt:Else>
        I'm an anonymous commenter
    </mt:CommentAuthorContext>
</mt:Comments>
