Moveable Type users can now have their MotionBased activity feeds posted on their blogs, thanks to Brandon Fuller and his plugin MT-MotionBased.
The plugin requires Movable Type version 4 or higher and Perl version 5.8.5 or higher (possibly lower).
A nice feature of the plugin is that it provides considerable control over how the feed is displayed. This includes being able to use MotionBased data values in the title, body, category, and tag attributes of an entry via substitution tags at the user’s whim and fancy. Here’s an example from the plugin page:
I travelled {totalDistance} miles with an elevation gain of {totalElevationGain} feet in {totalMovingDuration} minutes, which is a moving pace of {averageMovingPace}. View my <a href=”http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/{pk}”>GPS data</a>.
Many other substitution tags are available and are shown in the plugin’s configuration window.
Other options to customize the feed include: enable/disable comments, draft enable, and displaying the MotionBased dashboard graph image.
