DashOff
A set of links to the places you most commonly want to go for each of your blogs. Reduces the number of clicks when navigating between blogs.
Plugin settings allow sorting of blogs by: Blog Name, Creation Order, or Last Updated (ascending or decending)… and additionally show/hide totals.
Requires Movable Type 4.0 or greater. If using less than Movable Type 4.1 then you’ll need to add some icons (see below).

Revision History
- v1.1 - 2008 Aug 20
- Fixed issue causing conflict with [MyBlogs](http://plugins.movalog.com/my-blogs/) plugin
- v1.0 - 2008 Jan 14
- Initial Release
There’s an apparent conflict between two excellent dashboard widget plugins for MT: DashOff and MyBlogs. They don’t play well together—if you use one, the other won’t show up.
The conflict is in their respective perl files, MyBlogs.pl and DashOff.pl, which are bundled with the plugins.
Both of them use variable with the same name: my @blogs / $blogs, and my $perms / $perms
Assuming that you want to use both of them at once (who wouldn’t?), you need to change the names of these two parameters (perhaps only the first, but I haven’t bothered to test that) in one of the two files.
Therefore, in DashOff.pl for instance, you should change every occurrence of $blogs to something else, like $blogset, change my @blogs to my @blogset; and similarly change my $perms / $perms to my $perms2 / $perms2
Once you’ve done that, both work together.
@gautam - Thanks for pointing this out. I will update DashOff to ensure that it does not conflict with Arvind’s MyBlogs plugin.
As you may have guessed, DashOff is based upon MyBlogs. When I had first built this plugin I had talked to Arvind about merging MyBlogs with DashOff. Perhaps this is a good opportunity to do this.
@gautam - DashOff 1.1 released!
