I was installing Action Streams on Chris Alden’s r21.org and remembered that Mark Pascal showed me tip about installing Action Streams.
Instead of distributing all the files in the extlib directory in the sub-directories of the extlib directory in your MT install—as described in steps 3 of the Action Steams readme—Mark showed me that the Action Streams extlib directory can be placed in the Action Streams plugin directory.
When you download the Action Streams plugin, here are the files in the directory. Notice the location of the extlib directory:
ActionStreams-1.0/
example_templates/
extlib/
HTML/
HTTP/
Web/
XML/
mt-static/
plugins/
ActionStreams/
blog_tmpl/
config.yaml
lib/
tmpl/
Iwtst/
When you install Action Streams in your MT install, move the extlib directory under the Action Streams plugin directory:
MT_HOME/
plugins/
ActionStreams/
blog_tmpl/
config.yaml
extlib/
HTML/
HTTP/
Web/
XML/
lib/
tmpl/
Action Streams is one of the plugins that I have to remember to update every time there’s an upgrade. Knowing it will work in the plugins directory is good tip. Thanks.
