New MT-Notifier coming soon
So I complained a while back that I missed my blog’s “notify me of new comments” feature after upgrading to MT3.2. Well, Chad Everett is working on a new version of his great plugin. MT-Notifier 3.0 will be MT3.2 compatible and will probably be released for a wide audience before the final release of MT3.2. I’m testing it out the beta release here, so please check the “notify me” box if you leave a comment so it has something to do.
It’s got some neat new features. First, it doesn’t require hacking any of the standard Movable Type files like it used to, so it should get along with MT-Blackist and any other plugins you have installed, and it won’t break when you upgrade your MT installation. And it now features notification confirmation, so by default if you sign up you’ll get an email with a confirm link and you won’t get any actual notifications until you click it. If it wasn’t you that plugged your email in then you’ll just get the one email, delete it, and go on about your merry way. Also, it helps to make sure that only real live addresses are in my database.
I had to delete all my old notifications a couple weeks ago because the database was loaded with nonsense addresses and also a few real addresses from people that complained to my SMTP provider that I was spamming them. Between the bounce messages and the threats to have my service cut it just wasn’t worth the trouble. Now I’ll never have that problem again, every comment notification will go to a real person who wants to see it.
