Good afternoon All,
I am a newbie to this board as well as the MT software in general. Last evening, i was successfull in installing and configuring MT onto a linux platform using the apache & berkley db. The software has not presented and problems and is functioning well beyond my expectations. I m wondering if anyone knows how to add more entry fields into the new entry window. If anyone is aware of a hack for this...let me know.

Apologies if I have asked a question that has already been addressed in this forum somewhere.

Thanks all.

You can't add extra fields, although you can turn some on (like keywords) that are hidden by default.

To mimic extra fields, though, you can use the KeyValues plugin which grabs data from the extended entry.

Thanks to all for your input. Lummox, your suggesstion for the KeyValues plugin did the trick! Thanks again.

delete: i moved my question to the plug ins topic.
