MT-Notifier 1.0.0 »

I've been working on a new plugin for Movable Type. At least for the moment, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, it shall be called MT-Notifier.

The idea is to provide a similar type of functionality as is found in other subscription functions, notably that of the scriptygoddess subscribe to comments script.

I've been moving along on it, and think I have at least a working model ready. Some more work needs to be done, but I'm in need of some testing at this point. Everything seems okay on my system, but I know my system isn't the largest or most complex around.

Some qualifiers: The plugin uses the PluginData table, so you will require the Storable Perl module on your server. I also can't say if this will work over any system other than MySQL. Seems to work fine with MySQL, but I have no idea about others. Some hacking of MT source is required, as is some work in your templates. It's not major, but it is necessary in order to integrate the function.

Update: I've put together a distribution of the plugin, complete with installation/usage instructions. Please let me know if you have any problems, suggestions, etc. Announcement. Download.
