We at Mercy Corps are using GSDL 2.37. I've gone into the plugins directory
and UnknownPlug is not in the list. Is there any way to get that from
anyone on the list? If nobody can send it, where would I find it?
Thanks,

As I think I recently said, this is what UnknownPlug is for. Here's
how I use it to import Quicktime movies, despite there not being a
QuickTime Movie plugin. From collect.cfg:
plugin ImagePlug
plugin UnknownPlug -process_exp '.MOV' \
-assoc_field 'Movie' -file_type 'misc/misc'
Note that the associated file's name will be stored in a metadata
element called movie (and that I don't know the correct mime type!).
My format strings for displaying pages and lists contain expressions
like this (all on one line, of course):
format CL1VList '<td>[link][Title][/link]</td>
<td>{If}{[Image],Image!<br />[Image]}
{If}{[Movie],Quicktime movie!<br />[Movie]}</td>'
