MT Blogroll 2.1
MT Blogroll has been updated to be compatible with Movable Type 3.2 and includes some new features too:
- Improved UI - The UI has been drastically improved to fit in better with 3.2, you can see the new UI elements on the screenshots page. Along with the UI there are a few javascript tricks I've borrowed from Movable Type that should make your life somewhat easier
- Greater Control - With MT Blogroll 2.1, you have far more control over your links, you can customize the link adding page in a fashion that is similar to MT and display the links with ease on both static and dynamic pages.
- Priority Sorting - I have added a priority field and this has become the default sorting column. As a result, you can have your links in any order you want!
- One Click Install/Upgrade - Like MT Protect and Movable Type, MT Blogroll now supports a one click install/upgrade that requires little work from you. Note: If the process appears to hang, try emptying your browser's cache.
- Better Link Updating - Many users complained that a lot of their links didn't have last updated times. As a result I am now using Technorati which, in my testing, is providing last update times for most of my links.
- Cross DB Support - MT Blogroll now support PostGreSQL and SQLite as well as MySQL.
- Overall Robustness - I have tested this version more than any previous version.

No none of my Built for 3.2 plugins are backwards compatible.

I can' seem to get this version working. The previous version worked fine, but ever since I upgraded, nothing.
When I click 'Edit My Blogroll' I get to a screen that tells me I currently have no links. When I click to add a link, I get a form that only has three fields Visible/Invisible, Weblog Name, and URI. When I try to click on the link below this form that reads 'Customize the display of this page', nothing happens. When I click rebuild site on this page, nothing happens. When i complete only the three fields, click save, rebuild my blog by going back to blog, nothing shows up in the area I designated for the blogroll and still it shows "I currently have no links.
Any suggestions?

I installed everything into the directories, then I pointed my browser to mt-blogroll.cgi and it said file not found... But I know the file is there. What did I do wrong?

So this plugin is not compatible with Windows? I have logged into http://divamaggie.com/plugins/Blogroll/mt-blogroll.cgi but it is taking forever to Finish Install

I've installed the new Blogroll 2.1 according to the instructions but everytime it asks me to install it. Then when I click on "Finish Installation" it installs the database as what seems normal but then comes up with the error "Error during installation: Invalid default value for 'blogrolllinkspriority'". I have no idea why.

I can see blogroll only in home page and in the individual page. Links are not available in category and archive template. (the blog roll code it's in a module so it's always the same).....anyonr can suggest a way a try to figure it out?
