Entries Block Tag Status Filter Argument Plugin for Movable Type
In most situations a template should render the Entries marked as "published."
There are scenarios, however, when publishing entries with other statuses is
required. This plugin facilitates that with a new argument for the Entris block tag: status_filter.
Entries have one of the following statuses:
- Unpublished (
1) - Published (
2) - Review (not commonly used,
3) - Scheduled (
4) - Junk (used with community-submitted content,
5)
The status_filter argument takes one or more of the numeric status representations; more than one should be in a comma-separated list. Examples are shown below.
The default behavior to render entries marked "published":
<mt:Entries status_filter="2">
<p><mt:EntryTitle></p>
</mt:Entries>
Render any Entries marked "unpublished":
<mt:Entries status_filter="1">
<p><mt:EntryTitle></p>
</mt:Entries>
Show all unpublished, published, and scheduled Entries:
<mt:Entries status_filter="1,2,4">
<p><mt:EntryTitle></p>
</mt:Entries>
