Cool stuff to do with MT Daily Builds

Movable Type's Daily Builds let you do things you could never do with your blog before. Here's some examples.

Listing images tagged "cool"

<ul>
<MTAssets type="image" tag="cool" lastn="10">
<li><img src="<$MTAssetURL$>" height="<$MTAssetProperty name="image_height"$>" width="<$MTAssetProperty name="image_width"$>" /></li>
</MTAssets>
</ul>

Image gallery

This is with tables, but of course real-ass bloggers would do it in CSS.

<table>
  <MTAssets type="image" assets_per_row="4">
    <MTAssetIfFirstItemInRow><tr></MTAssetIfFirstItemInRow>
      <td><MTAssetThumbnailLink></td>
    <MTAssetIfLastItemInRow></tr></MTAssetIfLastItemInRow>
  </MTAssets>
</table>

Listing images

<ul>
<MTAssets type="image" lastn="10" sort_by="filename" sort_order="descend">
<li><img src="<$MTAssetURL$>" height="<$MTAssetProperty name="image_height"$>" width="<$MTAssetProperty name="image_width"$>" /></li>
</MTAssets>
</ul>

Listing downloadable files

<ul>
<MTAssets type="file" filetype="file" lastn="10" sort_by="filename" sort_order="descend">
<li><a href="<$MTAssetURL$>"><img src="<$MTBlogURL$>/icons/<$MTAssetProperty name="file_ext"$>.gif" height="9" width="9" /> <$MTAssetProperty name="label"$></a> (<$MTAssetProperty name="file_size"$> bytes)</li>
</MTAssets>
</ul>
