MTMoreLikeThisFromOthers (v 0.29)

The whole More Like This From Others thing really intrigued me, so I thought I'd write a little plugin for it to toss into my blog and see what comes up. So here it is.

Here's an example of how you can use it:

<MTPings>
<a name="<$MTPingID$>"></a>
<span class="trackback-post">
<a href="<$MTPingURL$>" target="new"><$MTPingTitle$></a><br />
<b>Excerpt:</b> <$MTPingExcerpt$><br />
<b>Weblog:</b> <$MTPingBlogName$><br />
<b>Tracked:</b> <$MTPingDate$><br />
<b>More Like This:</b><br />
<ul>
<MTMoreLikeThisFromOthers>
<li><a href="<$MTMLTFOLink$>" target="new">
<$MTMLTFOTitle$></a>: <br />
<$MTMLTFODescription$></li>
</MTMoreLikeThisFromOthers>
</span>
</div>
</MTPings>

Download morelikethis.tar.gz or morelikethis.zip , unpack it, and put morelikethis.pl in your plugins directory. In addition, you will also have to get Ben's MLTFO perl module from the link at the beginning of this entry. Just download the archive, unpack it, and place MLTFO.pm in your extlib directory. You may also need to install the XML::RSS module for Perl. All I ended up having to do was place RSS.pm in the extlib/XML directory.

MTMoreLikeThisFromOthers

• Container tag that encapsulates Ben's MLTFO module.
• When used within MTPings, finds similar entries in the blog from which the trackback ping was received.
• When used within MTPingedURLs finds similar entries in the blog to which the ping was sent.

MTMLTFOTitle
