steve, the plugin is fantastic! i'm having one issue though and it's with dynamic pages. i get this smarty error,
Smarty error: [in evaluated template line 5]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'mtcumulus' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 580)
you can see it yourself at http://www.memeticians.com and just click on a tag from your tag cloud. the results page is created dynamically. otherwise, it works great on all static pages.
thanks!
@Hank,
Your site looks great. Glad you like the plugin. Honestly, I haven't tested it with dynamic pages using PHP, so I don't know if there's an issue with the plugin or the setup. I'll create a sandbox this weekend using MT and Smarty and see if I can duplicate your results.
thanks steve, you're the man! check out these pages that i found which might help,
one last thing to check out is when clicking a tag from the cloud in a subfolder page such as archived or categorized pages, the search link holds on to the subfolders and attaches the mt search link to the end instead of the root, of which a page not found results.
i'll let you know if i figure out anything about these issues in the meantime
