iMT - iPhone Interface for Movable Type
This plugin automatically provides a customized and specially designed user interface for Movable Type 4.x and 5.0 users accessing their Movable Type installation via their iPhone or iPod Touch (should also be compatible with Android-powered phones).

Works great! Easy install. Simple and efficient interface.

I use it with my iPod Touch and it works seamlessly. When I got a flurry of comments while traveling, it was a piece of cake to look at them on my iPod using the wifi at the airport and just make sure everything on my site was under control. I can't ask for anything more from a plugin than peace of mind! :)

Any chance this could be extended to include Custom Fields? I know asset uploading won't work but being able to add content into custom fields would be a big plus.
I also really want to be able to get to the templates via this interface, but I expect that is asking too much!!

Note that MT 4.2 requires version 1.02 of iMT.

I want custom fields for iMT too. I'm not a Perl expert, but this is on my list of hack projects. iMT is GPL so anyone can work on it.
Perhaps you might be interested in doing some interface work for iPhone versions of each custom field type?
Code can be found in the [SVN repo](http://code.sixapart.com/svn/mtplugins/trunk/iMT/) and a [TRAC view](http://code.sixapart.com/trac/mtplugins/browser/trunk/iMT) is also available.

Thanks for providing this. One thing that I would like to see is the option to have multiple categories within a post. You can only do one on the dial with no option that I see to go back and do additional ones.
Another thing I would like to see if being able to use images that are already present on the site. I do like to include an image with every post and frequently reuse images from previous posts.
It does work though. :)

Hmmm, I could have sworn that I leave a comment here.
I would like to see the ability of using images that have already been uploaded. That and being able to use multiple categories.
Thanks,

Howdy,
This isn't working so well for me. The login screen looks beautiful, but once I'm in, my entire MT interface is blank, except for the page header and footer. It looks like this:
.------------------.
| Movable Type |
.------------------.
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
|[copyright info] X|
'------------------'
This is version 1.02 of the plugin, and my server is running MT Pro 4.24. Any advice?

Same here. Seems like a recent MT upgrade broke this plugin.

The last MT update killed this for me, too. Any updates coming? I was pretty reliant upon it.

Seems like a glitch in Safari Touch in iPhone OS 3.X.
It seems the incompatibility is easily fixed by modifying mtstatic/plugins/iMT/css/iphone.css
Look for the css rule for ".menu a" and comment out the first line (which sets overflow).
The result should look like this:
.menu a {
/* overflow: hidden; bug in safari on OS3*/
display: block;
float: left;
margin: 0 14px 12px 0;
width: 62px;
height: 90px;
color: #999;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
}

That worked for me great. Also - I really need the blog interface to support more than 10 or so blogs. We have 27 in one installation - and the main select a blog doesn't seem to support that number. Maybe there'some way to see all - or browse for more but I can't figure it out.

Does this not work with MT5? Just wondering. After I sign in I just get a blank screen and I didn't know if it was just me or an incompatibility issue.

It's a good plugin. But there appears to be no ability to reply to user comments on blogs through this interface. Is there any fix for this that any of you know about???

Oh, and, yes the fix that Seiz proposed above does work perfectly. One tiny little comment line!

[iMT 1.1 has been released](http://github.com/sixapart/mt-plugin-iMT/downloads) and it now supports MT 5, the Nexus One, and fixes a handful of UI issues.

iMT v1.1 works great with both mt v4.x series and v5.01.
You could download it from:

Installation instructions need clarification. There are two folders within the zip directory and the readme file does not give specific instruction as to what to do with each folder.
QUOTE:
"Drop the files included with this plugin into your Movable Type
directory (under the mt-static/plugins/iMT, plugins/iMT locations)"
This needs clarification -- what are the "iMT locations"? I assume given the filename tree of the folders, that essentially it should look like this:
mt-static/plugins/iMT/
And that contained within this directory should be:
- css [dir]
- images [dir]
- js [dir]
- iMT.pl
- tmpl [dir]
If this is the case, why not simplify matters and just include all the files within the one folder in your zip file (mt-static/plugins/iMT/...) and get rid of the "plugins" folder.
If this is incorrect, then instructions need clarification.
Thanks,
Andrew

This is a great plugin, I can manage my blog with my mobile phone finally!
As there are a lot of spam, if a check box can be added before each comment so that I can select all the comments I want to spam or delete (just like gmail do for the mobile clients), it will be perfect!
