easy rotator and multisite

Hi Atlanta,

To display rotators on other sites, you have a couple of options. First, you can copy the wp-content/uploads/EasyRotatorStorage/user-content/erc_82_XXXXXX folder from the main site to the other sites’ wp-content/uploads/ folders. Or, you could modify the easyrotator.php plugin file, modifying this function (which starts around line 1170):

public function renderRotator($fullPath)

You would have to update the following two lines to conditionally be different based on the passed $fullPath value:

$path = $this->getContentDir() . $fullPath;

And

$urlHere = $this->getContentDirURL() . $fullPath . '/content/';

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi,

I apologize for the confusion—these changes are actually in the easyrotator-for-wordpress/engine/main.php file.

Here’s an example of the updated code you might use:


$path = $this->getContentDir() . $fullPath;
if ($fullPath == 'erc_88_xxxxxx') // update this value!
{
$path = '/var/www/somedir/other/site/wp-content/uploads/EasyRotatorStorage/user-content/' . $fullPath;
}

...

$urlHere = $this->getContentDirURL() . $fullPath . '/content/';
if ($fullPath == 'erc_88_xxxxxx') // update this value!
{
$urlHere = 'http://other.site.com/wp-content/uploads/EasyRotatorStorage/user-content/' . $fullPath . '/content/';
}

Hi Atlanta,

I’ve double-checked the code and it works correctly on a WP multisite network. The trick is that you’ll need to know what the file path and public URL to the main site’s wp-content/uploads/EasyRotatorStorage/ folder.

If you can confirm the following information, I’ll show the exact code that’s needed:
– The ID of the rotator you want to display (e.g. erc_xx_xxxxxx)
– The path to the location where this rotator’s files are stored in the main site. This will be e.g. /var/www/yoursite/wp-content/uploads/EasyRotatorStorage/wp-content/erc_xx_xxxxxx.
– The public URL to that folder you just identified
