Movable Type plugins whose status on the current beta version of MT4 is unknown

  • Photo Gallery - this should work for the most part, but needs some UI upgrading
  • Workflow
  • MTAmazon - this should work as it is just template tags
    • Note that I can't currently get this to work -- I get the plugin installed just fine, and I got my template modified to use the current tags (well enough that the MT4 template editor doesn't report any errors with the tags). Publishing my template also elicits no errors... but the area that should have MTAmazon content in it is just blank, nothing at all. Trying to look into it, but I can't figure out how to get error info or a log of what might be happening. --Jason Levine 10:42, 26 July 2007 (PDT)

  • mt-relatedentries
  • mt-gizmos (Some tags are definitely rendered obsolete by MT4.)
  • mt-keys
More plugins listed on The Plugin Survey should probably be on this list...

Plugins included with MT4

Implied is the assumption that any prior version will not work and should be removed prior to upgrade.

Plugins rendered obsolete by MT4

Plugin Upgrade Instructions
EnhancedEntryEditing You will need to switch your entries to use the Rich Text formatter instead of WYSIWYG. If you use MySQL, an easy way to do this is to run the following SQL command through a utility such as PHPMyAdmin: update mt_entry set entry_convert_breaks = 'richtext' where entry_convert_breaks = 'tinymce';
LivePreview Just hit the Preview button!
Nofollow Function fully incorporated into MT4
SCode
CatCalendar
MTFlipFlop All block (container) tags have an $odd or $even variable set for each iteration. So, you can simply test for them within the block/container like so: <mt:if name="__odd__">odd<mt:else>even</mt:if>. See Template Loop Meta Variables
Compare MTIf and MTUnless have been added to MT4.0. The functionality of the "inequality" template tags Compare provided (MTIfGreater, etc.) can be had by passing the gt, lt, ge, or le arguments to MTIf and MTUnless. Caveats: A) You cannot currently do multiple comparisons as you could with MTCompare, for example <MTIfEqual a="[MTFoo]" b="bar" b1="baz"> B) Compare's MTIfBetween, MTIfNotBetween, and MTIfBetweenExclusive tags are not supported as a single tag, but can be emulated by using two nested MTIf tags.
AutoSave No specific steps needed!
mt-varz MTIf and MTUnless have been added to MT4.0.
Cuttings.App
Catx/Supplemental Category Tags Replaced by If, Unless, CategoryIf, CategoryNext, CategoryPrev built in to MT4.0.
dsbl_deny Replaced by SpamLookup
