TEMPLATE TAGS

MTBookQueueEntries
A container tag representing a list of book entries. The actual list can be configured using the optional attributes to this tag. The default is to display all book entries. To alter this behavior, you can provide one of the following attributes:
- lastn=``N''
  Display the last N book entries (according to sort_order and sort_by below), where N is some number greater than 0.
- offset=``M''
  Starts M entries from the first (according to sort_order and sort_by below), then displays the remaining entries (or the next N entries if used in combination with lastn). For example, the following tag:
```
<MTBookQueueEntries lastn="5" offset="5">
...
</MTBookQueueEntries>
```
  will display entries 6-10 (inclusive).
- status=``status name''
  Limit book entries displayed to those with the given status. Valid values are unread, reading and read.
  If no status attribute is given, book entries are displayed regardless of status.
- isbn=``isbn"
  Limit book entries displayed to those with a matching ISBN. Cannot be used with the entry_id attribute.
- entry_id=``id"
  Limit book entries displayed to those with an associated blog entry id matching entry_id. Cannot be used with the isbn attribute.
- sort_order=``ascend|descend''
  Specifies the sort order for this particular <MTBookQueueEntries> tag. Valid values are ascend and descend.
  The default value is descend.
- sort_by=``field name''
  Specifies the field by which to sort. Valid values are status, isbn, entry_id, modified_on, and entered_on. You can specify an arbitrary sort order for your book entries by overriding the ``last modified on" field in the BookQueue interface and sorting by modified_on. If you sort by entry_id, book entries without an associated blog entry id will be skipped. The default value is entered_on (the date on which the book entry was originally entered).
Attributes of MTBookQueueEntries can be combined in arbitrary ways. For example, the following tag: <MTBookQueueEntries lastn="10" offset="10" status="unread" sort_order="ascend" sort_by="modified_on"> ... </MTBookQueueEntries> will take all entries with status set to ``unread", sort them in ascending order according to the last modified date and display items 11 through 20 (inclusive) of that set.
MTBookQueueEntryISBN The ISBN number of the book entry.
MTBookQueueEntryStatus The status of the book entry (``unread", ``reading" or ``read").
MTBookQueueEntryDate The date on which the book entry was entered. This tag takes an optional format attribute. If format is omitted, the language-specific default format taken from the blog configuration will be used. See Date Tag Formats and Language for date display in the Movable Type documentation for more information.
MTBookQueueEntryModDate The date on which the book entry was last modified. This tag takes an optional format attribute. If format is omitted, the language-specific default format taken from the blog configuration will be used. See Date Tag Formats and Language for date display in the Movable Type documentation for more information.
MTBookQueueEntryBlogEntryID The entry id of the blog entry associated with the book entry. See the Movable Type documentation for MTEntryID for more information.
MTBookQueueEntryBlogEntryLink An absolute URL pointing to the archive page containing the blog entry associated with the book entry. This tag takes an optional attribute archive_type to specify the archive type to link to. See the Movable Type documentation for MTEntryLink for more information.
MTBookQueueEntryBlogEntryPermalink An absolute URL pointing to the archive page containing the blog entry associated with the book entry with an anchor (#) pointing to the actual entry (by ID). This tag takes an optional attribute archive_type to specify the archive type to link to. See the Movable Type documentation for MTEntryLink and MTEntryPermaLink for more information.
MTBookQueueEntryIfBlogEntry A container tag: the contents of this container will be displayed only if this book entry has a blog entry associated with it. In the following example, the ``book review" link will only appear for book entries which have an associated blog entry id. <MTBookQueueEntries> ... <MTBookQueueEntryIfBlogEntry> <a href="<MTBookQueueEntryBlogEntryLink>">book review</a> </MTBookQueueEntryIfBlogEntry> </MTBookQueueEntries>
