MultiBlog 1.1.0

This fixes a couple bugs:

  • Accidentally used perl's default alphabetic sort for blog_id in MTMultiBlog tag (e.g. so blog_id 10 would appear before blog_id 9)
  • Fixed the logic error involving the addition of the category argument to MTMultiBlogEntries that was causing it to fail completely

David, that fixed the bug I have been having! Thanks for the fix!

I'm trying out MultiBlog, and so far it looks great. I was wondering, however, if future versions of MultiBlog might better support MT installations with multiple users? Currently it appears that every user has visibility for every weblog, while one would expect each user to only see the weblogs for which he or she has posting/editing access...

Multiblog is not working for me. I'm not sure if this error means there's a bug, or I made a mistake:

An error occurred:

Can't call method "get_config_value" on an undefined value at extlib/rayners/MultiBlogApp.pm line 190.

rayners::MultiBlogApp=HASH(0x814be80) Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at extlib/rayners/MultiBlogApp.pm line 36.

rayners::MultiBlogApp=HASH(0x814be80) Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at extlib/rayners/MultiBlogApp.pm line 36.

Here's the other error I get when I try to rebuild my blog:

An error occurred:

Can't call method "get_config_value" on an undefined value at extlib/rayners/MultiBlog.pm line 38.

I would really appreciate your help!

Thanks!

multiblog works on my Windows/IIS and Windows/Apache Setup but gives plugin errors into the Logfile (MT.pm lin 289) causing i.e. my cronjobs to fail execution because of the error-return code.

Any idea? I'm running MT3.11 with dynamic pages enabled.
Thanks

I have a main blog and a blog with links. Both use the same categories.
Now I'd like the individual pages of the main blog to display a list of five links taken from the second blog - but only if the category corresponds.

How can it be don?

Thanks in advance.

I get the same error as Tom.

" An error occurred:


Can't call method "get_config_value" on an undefined value at extlib/rayners/MultiBlogApp.pm line 190."

Any idea what's happening?

Hi :)

I'm really keen to use this plugin, but so far I've been getting the following error when attempting to rebuild my main blog which has the sideblog nested:

"Can't call method "get_config_value" on an undefined value at extlib/rayners/MultiBlog.pm line 38."

I've tried reinstalling the files a couple of times but no joy.

I'm using 2.661. Thanks!

Hey, I've heard amazing things about this plugin, but I can't get it to load up either, same error as everybody above: can't call get_config_value on an undefined value at extlib/rayners/MultiBlogApp.pm line 190.

I've searched around and this is the only place I've seen anybody else mention the error. We're running MT2.661 and for now we're using MTSQL to pull multiple blogs together. However, we're hopefully going to expand our system to use either MultiBlog (assuming it works with MT2.661) or just some PHP scripts that will pull in from the database. The only real problem we're having is rebuilding the main site when another site is updated.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Hi, I'am very new to movable type and plugins, I tried to install multiblog 1.1.0 plugin but couldn't be able to work it.
Here is the error message when I tried to run multiblog-config.cgi.

An error orcurred: Can't locate Storable.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /cgi-bin/mt/extlib /cgi-bin/mt/lib /usr/local/lib/perl/5.6.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.6.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.6.1 /usr/share/perl/5.6.1 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /cgi-bin/mt/lib/MT/PluginData.pm line 9.

Does anyone have an idea?

Hi,

Is it possible to control how some entries will be displayed? Let's say, I want all my entries from my QUick Links blog to display inside a table... how do I do that with this plugin? Thanks in advance!

Your documentation seems to be down. Is there anyplace else it can be found? Please advise.

Thanks.

looks like I have a similar problem to everyone here. I got this when I first tried to open multiblog-config.cgi

Can't call method "get_config_value" on an undefined value at extlib/rayners/MultiBlogApp.pm line 190.


rayners::MultiBlogApp=HASH(0x8135770) Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at extlib/rayners/MultiBlogApp.pm line 36.

I can't get MB to work in 3.15 building dynamically. I'm sure I installed it correctly, set the access/config right, etc. What I get:

Smarty error: [in evaluated template line 78]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'MTMultiBlog' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 556)

Will MultiBlog work in a 3.15 dynamic publishing environment? Or is there a different problem?

Smarty error: [in evaluated template line 78]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'MTMultiBlog' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 556)

Same bug here.

About the Smarty error problems, that is because MultiBlog does not currently support dynamic templates. It is a static template only plugin. Hopefully I will be able to address that in MultiBlog 2.0.
