Hi, Is there a call in the MT Perl API that will allow me to build a single index template - perhaps by passing its template_id for example? I am using MT3.35....
Hi all, A user of my old DateTags plugin reported that part of it (MTNextNEntries) wasn't working under the MT 4 beta. Investigating this, I realized that...
Yes, this is one of the more 'drastic' changes we found necessary for the app. It was improper to be storing such a value in the 'created_on' column to begin...
On the ProNet call this week Byrne asked if I had any feedback and I said I hadn't sat down to review the code. This weekend that time has finally come. I'm...
IRT YAML - I have not seen a lot of YAML either to be truthful. The first one I saw was for the Enterprise.pack. Because I don't think it betrays any IP, here...
Bummer. I noticed a lot of this type of configuration embedded in the code (MT::Core for instance) and would have thought it could have been implemented as...
While the YAML files are a little more approachable, lets not forget they're additional files to load and need to be parsed by a pure-Perl module. YAML::Tiny...
I haven't forgotten that Perl code will be faster. It's just that I was given a different expectation by how the component architecture is being sold to...
Hi, Sorry to be such a bore in these exciting MT4 times - I have a question about MT3.3X :) Is it possible to store an array or a more complicated data ...
I thought this would be a better forum than Pronet to ask this question. We are now on MT4 Beta 4 -- how close are we getting to a final release? More...
Does anyone have any ideas or best practices on how a plugin developer might support 3.2, 3.3, and 4.0 for a plugin? I know that some users of my plugins are...
Yes, a general "progress report" would be great. I know beta 4 marked the end of notable featue additions, but that doesn't really tell me how far along the...
A recent message from Byrne suggested they've been trying to have the betas out on Tuesdays, so b5 as an RC is probably out unless they've done some serious...
I think the answer is that it largely depends on how much of a difference there is and how your code is organized. I think it would be helpful if you could be...
One thing new I came across in my review of the MT4 API that raised an immediate red flag was doing away with the notion of a conditional tag in the API. You...
Thanks for the reply, Tim. Since each of my plugins is different, some more different than others, I was looking for some general suggestions. How do other...
Personally, I won't be expending too much effort in maintaining backwards compatibility. Although there are undoubtedly many that will be hesitant to upgrade...
That is a hard question to answer. Some UI screens are being updated (refined only), but the focus of the engineering team is definitely on bug fixing alone....
... Err, I've actually filed a lot of bugs regarding the API. Whilst building out some of my Athena-compatible plugins, I faced quite a few problems (just off...
... As I'm going through the code I can't agree with this view either. ... You are a saint amongst men if you found all of those bugs and you are still...
By ³solid² I mean that it is not changing. It is critical that developers start building against the API in its current state as Arvind and Kevin have done...
... I've yet to actually dive in to my plugins too deep and test them myself. (I was hoping I'd get some help from users in this regard.) Ideally planning for...
... Going back to Brad's comment yesterday -- it would also help the QA process if the core would actually use more of its own API rather then a backdoor....
... I recently discovered that whilst setting a variable (setvar, setvarblock) you could now use a prepend or append attribute with the tag which would do the...
... I will look into that option. But I do wonder in either upgrade function will run into problems with writing/renaming files to the /path/to/mt/php/plugins...
... Just to throw another spanner in the works, PHP plugins can now be included within the plugin envelope (i.e. plugins/FooBar/php). Check out some of the...
... I noticed this in your plugin's template, Arvind, and immediately realized how valuable this is going to be. It would be great if this concept could also...
... Unfortunately, in my experimentation, that didn't work because setvartemplate stashes the tokens and so when I tried to append/ prepend with that, I just...
It depends upon what you want to optimize for I suppose. You could optimize for 1. code maintenance or 2. user experience and simplicity of install Speaking...
... Arvind, I think may have missed the fact that instead of a name= argument, my (hypothetical) example uses a module= argument instead. For that reason, it...
