I'm running MT 4 with Living Dot and really like the platform. I just noticed the iMT plugin which automagically formats a blog to diplay properly on an iPhone and I'm trying to install it.

The instructions are pretty straightforward - (from the readme)...Drop the files included with this plugin into your Movable Type
directory (under the mt-static/plugins/iMT, plugins/iMT locations)

I have found the mt-static/plugins directory and have dropped the files in - but it doesn't seem to be working. The plugin doesn't show up in the admin screens as anything I can enable / disable - and it doesn't look any different on my iPhone.

I'm just wondering what the heck I'm doing wrong? In the zip file, there are two folders - One w/ the path mt-static/plugins/iMT - in that folder is the css, images and js folders and files.

Then there is a second folder with the path - iMT/tmpl and a iMT.pl file.

What I have done is make a single iMT file in the plugins directory - and moved the css, images, js and tmpl folders into the directory along w. the .pl file.

Is that right? Any help would be appreciated.

Not quite. In the archive, the mt-static/ folder contents should be uploaded to your mt-static/ folder's contents. plugins/ should be uploaded to your [mt home]/plugins/ folder. Two separate locations.

Also be sure to check that files/folders have correct permissions. Folders typically require 755; files 644 or greater.

I'm not getting it -

In the folder structure on my blog - the plugins directory is nested inside mt-static - so it's technically 2 different locations - but its the same overall path.

The structure is:

- public-html
- mt-static
- plugins

So at the mt-static level - I dropped the plugins folder from the archive (this contains the css, images etc)

Then - I navigated down one level to the plugins folder and dropped the iMT folder from the archive. I said yes to the requests to overwrite the files.

I also changed permissions as suggested - the plugin still doesn't show in my plugins dashboard on the admin screen and the site looks the same on my phone.

Any thoughts?

There's another plugins folder--where did you put all the .cgi files? Look there.

I'm having similar problems as well. (Running MT 4.1, week old install, template modifications only, no other user installed plugins)

I uploaded the contents of the mt-static folder to the "mt-static/plugins" directory and the iMT folder is there along with the other plugins.

I also uploaded the contents of the plugin folder to the "cgi-bin/mt/plugins" (this is the only other plugins folder I could find) and the plugin appeared in the Systems Overview Plugin screen.

Something is not right though. I see no plugin listed for my blog nor does the site change when viewed from my iPhone.

What am I doing wrong?

Has anyone resolved this issue successfully? I installed the plug-in parts in two different places (MT-STATIC and the Plugins directory for my active MT4 installation) and permissions all seem right. The Plug-In displays as Enabled when I view from my PC Web browser. But when I login to my site admin tool using Safari on my iPhone 3G, I get no images and the web pages don't seem particularly optimized.

Any idea what might be wrong?

Figured it out. I had an old mt-static folder from an older installation; I put the plug-in in a defunct location. Once I uploaded it to the active mt-static folder, it worked. Hope this helps someone else as silly as me. ;-)
