well i finished my first movabletype plugin. it’s actually very simple but highly useful for my site in particular. in case you hadn’t noticed, 100% of the text on my website is lower case. i usually type it that way on purpose but sometimes i even miss some characters here and there. i originally thought i was going to be able to use the lower_case global filters in mt but it turns out that these tags also lowercase urls, javascript calls, and pretty much all text; which as most of you know is a bad thing for some case sensitive things.


anyhow, this plugin is called change text case. to install this plugin you can download it from the link i just gave you, drop it in your mt plugins directory, and remove the .txt extension from the file.


to start using the global filter add text_lower_case=”1″ or text_upper_case=”1″ to any of your mt tags. that’s it, you should see the results when you rebuild those pages. i put a small blurb explaining how it works in the comment section of the plugin. download and enjoy.


i’ll release more plugins as i write them but if you are in need of one in particular let me know, maybe i can throw it together.
