Outliner in Action »
I adjusted my links list (to the left) to make use of the MT-Outliner plugin that I released yesterday. While at first I built this piece of the page from a basic OPML file on my site, then I couldn't figure out why in the world I would do that, when I've already got the information elsewhere. So instead of using the opmllink attribute, I used bloglines instead.
First, I created a new folder on my Bloglines account. I called this folder Blogroll, but you can use whatever you like (just remember to change it in the code below if you use something different). Next, I added the bloglines="jayseae" attribute to my MTOutliner tag (my Bloglines user ID). You would want to change the user ID to your own. Or you could use mine too if you really want to do that sort of thing.
Finally, I made use of the MTOutlinerFolders tag, as it allows me to select data by the folder (or folders) in which it resides. I used the folders="Blogroll" attribute for this purpose. If you used a different folder name above, then this is where you'd change it. Separate multiple folders with colons (ie, folders="Folder:Another Folder:Still One More Folder").
<MTOutliner bloglines="jayseae">
<MTOutlinerFolders folders="Blogroll">
<MTOutlinerItems>
<a href="<$MTOutlinerItemHTML$>" title="<$MTOutlinerItemDesc$>"><$MTOutlinerItemText$></a> :: <a href="<$MTOutlinerItemXML$>" title="Syndicate this Site">rss</a><br />
</MTOutlinerItems>
</MTOutlinerFolders>
</MTOutliner>
Let me know about your implementations of MT-Outliner!
