• Hi there..

    I have a gaming Blog, http://www.cruel-gaming.com which uses the MU install, as were a gaming community and clan or guild I am setting up blogs for each game that we play.

    I also have blogs for some of my users, but what I really want is that any new posts made to specified blogs, also get posted to our main page so that when ever a clan leader or guild leader posts some game specific news it’s also seen on our main community blog front page.

    any ideas ?

    The Sitewide Tags plugin. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-sitewide-tags/

    (WPMU and MU refer only to the pre 3.0 versions of the product. As of 3.0, it’s called WordPress MultiSite. If you say ‘MU’ we will assume you mean you’re using the old version.)

    Yeah I have this installed now, but it’s not quite what I need.

    the functionality seems fine, when I post things on other blogs I have them also post on my main blog, thats cool.

    However I would like to tell it which blogs to post from for example I have 10 blogs, but I only want 2 of them to have their posts shoved onto the main blog page.

    is this possible with this addon ?

    Hi Andrea_r thanks..

    I am still having problems tho so with a bit of luck you can fix it or see what Iv done wrong.

    I took that line and did this with it.

    echoblock.php

    <?php
    /*
    Plugin Name: Stop Echo to Main Site
    Plugin URI: http://www.cruel-gaming.com
    Description: This Plugin will stop blog posts being piped through to the main blog site.
    Version: 1.0
    Author URI: http://cruel-gaming.com/
    */
    
    remove_action('save_post', 'sitewide_tags_post', 10, 2);
    
    ?>

    I put that single file in to my wp plugins folder, so its path is content/plugins/echoblock.php

    I then went to network admin, plugins, saw it on the list and clicked Network Activate.

    However when I then goto admin on say my dev blog, I cant see the plugin in the list to activate or deactivate it, its not showing up.

    You clicked network activate.

    than means you *activated it* across the whole network.

    Ah. I thought that meant the plugin could then be USED by the other blogs..

    but then should it still not show up on the list, active or not?

    edit :: Ah now I get whats happening, when I network Activate that forces it on for all blogs on the network. so if I turn that off I can then turn it on per blog.

    I have another question tho, with our community, we have our main blog, and then clan/game specific blogs, those are the ones I want linked through, however we also have member blogs.

    Ideally what I would like is that all blogs are set to not post to main blog, but that I can then turn ON! the specific blogs I want.

    kinda the reverse of whats happening now.

    hope that makes sence.
