I already played a little bit with this one. I am getting the latest posts from all the Multi Sites. But i want links to my Multi Sites with only 1 latest post.
For Example : I have 1 main blog and 2 multisites like.
http://www.xyz.com/wordpress (main blog)
http://www.xyz.com/wordpress/site1
http://www.xyz.com/wordpress/site2
I want my homepage(www.xyz.com/wordpress) to contain links to both my Multi Sites with 1 latest post each. If i have 20 posts in site1 and 10 in site2 than i want to see the links for 20th and 10th post only with the site1 and site2 links.
Hmm. Well there’s this: http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-featured-posts/
But I just use some PHP shenanigans to show the last three posts. The downside to this is it’s manual, though I suppose you COULD write a for/loop for it. For all blogs, do this…
<h2>Recent posts at <a href="<?php echo get_blog_option(1, 'siteurl'); ?>"><?php echo get_blog_option(1, 'blogname'); ?></a></h2>
<p><?php echo get_blog_option(1, 'blogdescription'); ?><p>
<?php switch_to_blog(1); wp_cache_flush(); ?>
<?php
global $post;
$myposts = get_posts('numberposts=3');
foreach($myposts as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);
?>
<div class="fp-list-blog">
<a href="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "url", true); ?>/"><?php the_post_thumbnail( array(90,90) ); ?></a>
</div>
<p><strong><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></strong> -- <small><?php the_date(); ?></small></p>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<?php restore_current_blog(); ?>
This guy did it with some SQL calls: http://thejudens.com/eric/2009/08/wordpress-mu-list-blogs/
*fistshake at having to reinvent the wheel!*
It’s an okay plugin for really really small sites.
Nice widgets the Diamond ones. But still is there a way to get this information on HomePage by using some plugin.
Short codes are available in that plugin, you know. Make a static home page and then call the shortcode.
Posts/Pages shortcode support (read more at the admin page)
Thank you very much both of you.
Just exploring it a bit more.
