This plugin provides Movable Type users with an assortment of miscellaneous tags that do not ship with Movable Type by default. These tags are:

Modifiers

days_old

A template tag modifier designed for use with date strings. User is intended to use a date string formatted as a timestamp e.g. %Y%m%d%H%M%S. The tag will then output the number of days since the date in question.

Example

<ul>
<mt:assets lastn="5">
<li><$mt:AssetLabel$> (<$mt:AssetModifiedDate format="%Y%m%d%H%M%S" days_old="1"$> days old)</li>
</mt:assets>
</ul>

Template Tags

<mt:FolderHasPages>

<mt:Folders>
  <mt:FolderHasPages>
    <$mt:FolderLabel$> has pages.
  <mt:Else>
    <$mt:FolderLabel$> has NO pages. 
 </mt:FolderHasPages>
</mt:Folders>

<mt:FolderHasIndex></mt:FolderHasIndex>

A container tag that evaluates to true if the current folder in context contains a page that has a baename equal to 'index.'

Example

<mt:Folders>
  <mt:FolderHasIndex>
