I spent enough time on this earlier today that I figured an entry was due.
\nMost of the support forums were a disappointment, too, so let this serve as a reference
\nfor desperate souls like me who are hunting around for clues about how to
\nintegrate the Movable Type Custom Fields plugin in their weblogs. What
\nfollows will probably only be of interest to MT users. It’s not entirely
\nself-serving, though. I think we’ll soon be using custom entries for
\nCCC<\/i> Online, and I wasn’t having any luck getting it to work here until now.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The first problem I encountered was that the plugin was old. I had
\nMTCustomFields 1.12 on the system rather than the updated v. 1.2. It’s a
\nfast upgrade; takes just a minute or two to get everything in place. <\/p>\n

Here’s what I wanted to do:  Basically, I wanted another field on the
\ninput screen that would allow me to designate Technorati tags for selected
\nentries. I am already using the Keywords field for del.icio.us tagging.
\nBut I don’t want anything to show up with entries where I’m not using any tags
\nat all.  To accomplish this, I have to have the following plugins in my MT
\ninstallation:
\nMTLoop<\/a>, MTGlue<\/a>,
\nand MTCustomFields<\/a>. 
\nAnd I’m running MT 3.2. <\/p>\n

With these plugins, I concocted a sequence of tags that would link directly
\nto my del.icio.us account.  With the following code, I can enter a string
\nof tags in the Keywords field, separated by spaces, and get a list of links to
\nthe corresponding tags in del.icio.us.  The catch is that after posting the
\nentry, I have to post the page to del.icio.us and copy\/paste the same tags into
\nthe keywords field in del.icio.us.  That way the links on my weblog match
\nup with the tags in del.icio.us.  Here’s an
\nexample<\/a>. 
\nWe’re using the same system for
\nCCC<\/i>
\nOnline<\/a>. And here is the code from the index template that makes all of this
\nhappen.  If you want the tags to show up in other templates (individual,
\nmonthly, category, etc.), just copy\/paste this code there as well:<\/p>\n

<MTIfNonEmpty tag="EntryKeywords">Tags: <MTGlueContainer><MTLoop values="[MTEntryKeywords]"
\n delimiter=" ">
\n <a href="http:\/\/del.icio.us\/dmueller\/<$MTLoopValue$>"><$MTLoopValue$><\/a><MTGlue>,
\n <\/MTGlue><\/MTLoop><\/MTGlueContainer><br><\/MTIfNonEmpty><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The MTIfNonEmpty enclosure tells MT to ignore everything here if I haven’t
\nentered any tags in the Keyword field.  No permanent elements will show up
\nthe individual entry. Everything depends upon there being tags.  No tags,
\nno mess.<\/p>\n

But I was after something else.  The del.icio.us tagging is a good fit
\nfor the way I use it, particularly when marking notes that I want to integrate
\nwith the other tagged items I drop into del.icio.us. How could I add a
\nsecond layer of tags, a layer that would tie directly into Technorati? For
\nthis, I needed another entry field.  So I installed MTCustomFields.
\nEverything was fine. The expanded interface is intuitive. I was able
\nto add "Technorati" as an extra field. Still, I couldn’t find many
\nexamples of the code to use in the index template. There were several
\nexamples of wonky, dysfunctional code. I was only able to learn the basic
\ncode for the enclosure and the field specification. It looks like this:\n<\/p>\n

<MTEntryData>
\n <MTEntryDataTechnorati>
\n <\/MTEntryData><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It was a start.  But I still wanted to integrate it into the scheme I
\nwas using for del.icio.us which allows me to enter a string of tags and lets the
\nMT engine do the rest.  I’m not a die-hard Technorati tagger, but it would
\nbe nice to have the flexibility of simply keying in a tag or two (teaching-carnival<\/a>
\nor Academy2.0<\/a>) for certain
\nentries.  For others entries, it’s fine that they publish untagged (or
\nuntagged by anything beyond my only semidescript category labels).  By
\nwhisking together the two chunks of code from above, I was able to get something
\nto work:<\/p>\n

<MTEntryData><MTIfNonEmpty tag="EntryDataTechnorati<\/b>">Technorati
\n tags: <MTGlueContainer><MTLoop values="[MTEntryDataTechnorati<\/b>]"
\n delimiter=" "><a href="http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/<$MTLoopValue$>" rel="tag"><$MTLoopValue$><\/a><MTGlue>,
\n <\/MTGlue><\/MTLoop><\/MTGlueContainer><\/MTIfNonEmpty><\/MTEntryData><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Note that "Technorati" matches with the name I used when I set up the extra
\nfield using MTCustomField.  What’s peculiar is that the first tag reference
\ndoesn’t use "MT" whereas the second tag reference does.  But it works (and
\nwith a bricoleur-shrug, I don’t mind why<\/i> right now). If I enter a
\nlist of tags in the Technorati field, they turn up at the bottom of the entry
\nwith live links. The entry interface looks like this:<\/p>\n
