Documentation for Movable Type Plugin: DecodeURL

Adds a global filter decode_url, which is the reverse of encode_url. Since encode_url is included in Movable Type, I was surprised to find the reverse was not.

What is it good for? I use it to make the search terms in referring URL's reader-friendly.

The plugin can be downloaded here. Simply place the file DecodeURL.pl into your plugins directory.

The plugin works as a filter, so you can activate it by including decode_url="1" as an attribute of a Movable Type container tag. For example:

<$MTPingURL decode_url="1"$>

Note: This plugin requires the URI::Escape Perl module.

NOTE: This plugin has not be tested with MT3. Since I moved off Movable Type a couple of years ago, I'm no longer familiar enough with it to offer support if you run into problems with the plugin. Sorry, but if it doesn't work, I can't help you.
