Dave Aiello http://www.after6services.com/ We were able to get a Twitter Summary Card accepted for OperationGadget.com, one of the oldest Movable Type-based sites maintained by After6 Services.

What's a Twitter Summary Card?  That's the part of an embedded tweet that shows the introduction to a web page or a blog post.

Here's an example of a Twitter Summary Card attached to an embedded tweet, from one of the recent posts on OperationGadget.com:

Dave Aiello http://www.after6services.com/ Maybe you do a lot of Movable Type 3 and 4 migrations to Movable Type 5.2, like I do?  If so, you need the UnrecognizedTags plugin.

UnrecognizedTags identifies all Movable Type Markup Language tags that Movable Type currently doesn't recognize.

With it, you can identify unrecognized tags throughout an entire Movable Type instance. In other words, it will identify unrecognized tags in all websites and blogs published by Movable Type, and also any unrecognized tags found in Global Templates.

So, if you need to know where all occurences are of tags produced that plugin you are removing because it's not MT 5-compatible, UnrecognizedTags is for you. 

UnrecognizedTags 0.7 was pushed on to Github on Thursday.  This version:

  • Includes a lot more documentation in the README file.
  • Adds a lot of supplemental information in config.yaml that flows through to the Movable Type Plugin page at the System Overview level pointing to things like, Six Apart's home page, and the documentation on Github.

We're still testing on different versions of MT, and if there are any fixes that need to go in, we'll publish them as soon as possible.

If you have any comments or questions, feel free to leave them here or send us an email at support [at] after6services.com.

This site was built with our Wrightstown Theme for Movable Type 5, a product that has been under development for more than six months.

There are a few people to thank for this launch:

  • Kathleen Aiello did virtually all of the theme implementation work, to make the core content of the site fit the design.
  • Jeremy King is the man behind the Wrightstown Theme design.
  • Arseni Mouchinski lead the development of our SuperAssets plugins.
  • Dave Aiello did the deployment to production.
We now have a state-of-the-art platform on which to communicate news and information, so you can expect to see a lot more content on our website soon.
