MTWholeSystem
Based on a request in the MT support forums, I coded up another plugin.
Update: D'oh! I managed to leave in some debug code, so if you see a strange and unexpected bit of text output from the plugin, that's why. I took it out and created new archives.
<h2>Latest Entries</h2>
<MTWholeSystemEntries lastn="5">
<a href="<$MTEntryLink$>"><$MTEntryTitle$></a> on
<a href="<$MTBlogURL$>"><$MTBlogName$></a><br />
</MTWholeSystemEntries>Download wholesystem.tar.gz or wholesystem.zip , unpack it, and place wholesystem.pl in your plugins directory.
MTWholeSystemEntries
- Container tag for entries
- Changes local context to blog of current entry (like MTOtherBlog )
- It takes the following arguments:
- lastn: the number of entries (defaults to 1)
ChangeLog
- Version 0.1: First version

Would it be possible to exclude one or more blogs? I have a test blog that I wouldn't want to include in the listing but I would like the entries in the other blogs to show up.

Hi David, thank you for the beautiful Plugin! I agree with Al-Muhajabah: It would be important to have the possibility to specify which blogs to include (or exclude, I don't mind).

Check out my GlobalListings plugin. It allows you to include or exclude blogs and supports pretty much everything else that MTEntries and MTComments tags do.

Is there a way to make it just read the blogname and the last time each blog was updated?
I don't know if I am working outside the confines of this plug-in or not, but it is easy to use if only I could figure out how to manipulate it.
Thanks.

Is there a way to get the plugin to maintain the default style of an individual entry? Lets say that the current blog has a certain style, and I want posts from another blog that have a different structure to look different. Is there a way to change the format of an entry that gets raked in from another blog?

I'm searching for a way to manage multiple blogs that are in different databases on the same system. Can someone help me please?

David, thanks for your helpful plugins. I'm having trouble with MTWholeSystem (v 0.1). It does a fine job scanning all three of my blogs under recent entries, but it wants to add lastn="5" to the beginning of my list. Any thoughts? (I've removed it from my main site, but at my other two (www.theocentric.com/theoblog) you can see the error (put your cursor over the top of the list--the type is hidden because of the color). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again!
