Two New Plugins: Again & Cache Output

Today I’m releasing a couple of plugins that have been on my desktop waiting to get out.

The first is Again for MT. This plugin enables a generic means of performing a recursive loop on some template markup.

I’m working to migrate a MT 3.2 system that used a plugin called MTAgain by LummoxJR. The plugin hasn’t been updated in years so I’m essentially adopting this plugin and have “MT4-ized” for this release.

The second is Cache Output for MT. This plugin speeds the publishing of pages by caching repetitive blocks of content in memory.

Mark Carey’s release of CacheBlock last week reminded me I had this plugin sitting around my hard drive for years now. It’s more rudimentary than what Mark’s plugin can do, but its been an invaluable tool for digging systems with poorly optimized templates out of a hole quickly.

Both are being released under the Artistic License and are free of charge.

Hi. MTAgain was very useful, thanks for porting! Would you also be interested in porting RightFields? (Now that "Custom Fields" has been acquired by MT into their $$$ version).

Glad you found it useful.

RightFields is the work of Kevin Shay and was not released under an open source license, so no I would not be interested in doing something illegal or making Kevin sad. ;)

I'd suggest checking in with Kevin as to what his plans are.
