Details

Note: This page is for Movable Type 4.1. Please see Config Assistant for the plugin for Movable Type 5+.

The Config Assistant plugin is a powerful platform plugin which significantly reduces the work necessary to create and deploy Movable Type plugins and themes.

The plugin streamlines the plugin and theme development process by extending the grammar of each plugin’s YAML-based configuration file (config.yaml) to allow for new and powerful features which previously required a significant amount of Perl, template markup code or both.

It also makes plugin and theme deployment as easy as dropping a single folder into the addons or plugins directories, eliminating the extra steps previously foisted upon end users to deploy a plugin or theme’s static content.

Compatibility

Movable Type versions: 4.3 Verified
