MT-Notifier

The award-winning MT-Notifier plugin for Movable Type significantly enhances the notification options you have available to you. As the oldest notification plugin still being maintained for Movable Type, MT-Notifier has earned a large following in the community, and the knowledge of the inner workings of Movable Type are passed on to you.

While there are similar notification options within Movable Type itself, these must be sent manually and can only notify you of new entries. Other plugins also exist, but they are far more limited than MT-Notifier. By extending the notification process to allow subscriptions on individual entries, across categories or even entire blogs, visitors to your site can keep up with anything and everything!

Version 5.0.0, the newest release of MT-Notifier, integrates more seamlessly than ever with the Movable Type interface. Control options using familiar plugin settings. Take advantage of itemset action menus in Movable Type to provide functions where you need them the most. Easily add and even update subscriptions while you are doing your regular work, without having to find another menu.

For the first time, a plugin also offers integrated search (including quick search!) functionality, allowing you to easily find - and even replace - data in your system by using the familiar search options that you already know in Movable Type. Search for email and IP addresses, filter on date range, and even edit-in-place!

MT-Notifier Subscription Management

In version 4.0.0, even the now-familiar user management interface has been completely overhauled, and offers you a compelling new interface to your subscription data. No longer built on the sometimes-flimsy Transformer architecture, the subscription management interface is written from the ground up to provide complete management at your fingertips.

Beginning with version 5.0.0, all of the templates are now stored in the database - the response template that is seen be users confirming subscription requests, the email templates sent for notifications, all of them! This not only means that you can use standard Movable Type template tags and that they are simpler than ever to maintain, but it makes doing so even easier for a network of sites, because these are global templates by default that you can then override for individual blogs as needed.

(Database templates, search and management features are available only to licensed users.)

Important Note: MT-Notifier version 5.0.0 was most completely tested on Movable Type version 4.34. It may or may not work with anything less - and that includes prior versions of MT4! While functionality should be fine with MT5, you will likely encounter some screen compatibility issues at this time. Please keep that in mind.

MT-Notifier Licensing

Starting with version 4.3.0, MT-Notifier is available in two versions, one which requires licensing and one which does not. The licensed version has more features than the open source version, but this allows you to test-drive the plugin and see if it is right for you before spending your hard-earned money.

If you do choose to license MT-Notifier, understand that every attempt has been made to keep the cost reasonable for everyone who wishes to gain access to additional features such as a built-in management interface and search functionality. There are other subscription plugins and services out there, but none of them offer the level of integration with Movable Type that you will find with MT-Notifier.

If you feel that you do not need these features, then feel free to use the open source version of the software as long as you like. Otherwise, any user at all - commerical or noncommercial, individual or nonprofit, pays one price for the plugin.

After purchase, you will be redirected to a page with a download link and further resources for deployment. You will also receive an email with a donwload link that you should save for future use. This download link will provide you the ability to upgrade your software as long as upgrades are available. Don't lose it!

v5.0 Full: $48
for Movable Type 4.3x

Please note that the license fee covers one (1) installation of Movable Type on one (1) database on (1) server, regardless of the number of blogs configured on that installation.

Payment of the licensing fee for MT-Notifier entitles the licensee to upgrades up through the next major release. In other words, if you have paid the fee for version 5.x, you are entitled to all upgrades until version 6 is released (but not necessarily version 6 itself). The only exception to this is if the next release is made just after you have paid your fee, in which case an exception may be made, at the discretion of the copyright holder.

Licensees are also eligible to receive pre-release versions of the software and input into these releases, so if you want to see where MT-Notifier is going, and perhaps more importantly, have a say in that process, license the software now so you can get in on it today!

Support

While priority is given to support requests originating from those who have paid the licensing fee, payment of the fee is for the license of the plugin code itself, not for support of the plugin, and payment of the fee does not entitle you to said support.

With that in mind, every reasonable attempt will be made to provide support, but no warranty is expressed or implied with the plugin or the payment of the licensing fee.

If you feel that this is not sufficient for your needs, then we can offer you a support contract or support on an hourly basis, but it is not included in this licensing fee.

Users of any open source or redistributed version of MT-Notifier, or who have modified the code of their installed plugin, are eligible only for paid support.

Please contact us directly in order to work out the specifics of any such support arrangement so that we can make sure your needs are met in this regard.

Terms of Use
