@1stangel: Check your PHP error logs for messages. Without an error message there's not much I can do to help.

Hi I have uploaded this to my site in the correct folder but am not seeing anything. I now cannot create categories either LOL

So I have the plugin installed I should imagine but there are no settings for it and my category making is now defunct. Where SHOULD the settings be?

Any help gratefully received

@Guas: No need to create tables. However, I’d strongly recommend you read and understand the code before using it. I publish it here really as a source for developers. The plugins are not very “polished”.

@Guas: No idea. This plugin is aimed at developers. If you can provide specific error messages or a cause of the error, I may be able to help.

@Deryk: The plugin creates a duplicate post on the main blog. The posts are linked by their guid. The plugin also pushes updates to the posts. So if a post is changed, it will be updated on the main blog. I believe the plugin does work with the latest version of WPMU, but I haven't thoroughly tested it yet.

hey callum, thanks for the reply. the other plugin works quite well for new sites in that on every post creation or save it copies the post to a central blog. however it does not work well if you need to convert an existing site. my question: does your plugin work with the latest version of wpmu 2.6? and does it copy the posts or just reference them somehow within the existing blog? ie. how does it deal with duplication? many thanks.

@Deryk: I'm not familiar with the other plugin, so I'm not sure how they compare. The plugin will allow you to push all posts from all your blogs onto one single blog. Then you can do any of the usual stuff with those posts on the global blogs (show tag pages, search, etc).

excuse my ignorance in this subject. I'm thinking that your plugin will be right for what I need to do, which is intelligently gather posts from many sub blogs in MU and post the results in one main blog. I'd like to add moderation (http://wpmu.org/collaboration-emails-plugin-wordpress-mu/) as well as view posts by category. Does the new wordpress update already do this? Or does this plugin (http://wpmudev.org/project/AHP-Sitewide-Recent-Posts-for-WPMU) differ very much from yours. thanks very much! Admin: Comment edited, link added as per follow up comment.

@george: All the posts are appearing under uncategorized on the global blog? That’s definitely not right.

I’d suggest debugging as follows:
1) Are the site_terms and site_term_taxonomy tables being populated?
2) Are the IDs being kept in sync with those tables and the individual blog terms / term_taxonomy tables?
3) Is the global blog’s term_relationships table being populated?

i understand mate, appreciate the help. cheers.

as of now when i set it up the “global posts blog” puts all the posts under uncategorized(including from sub blogs). is this how it is supposed to be or am i doing something wrong? tags from sub blogs are not appearing either. any thoughts?

@george: You could add it to the plugin quite easily. It's something I could add if I had time, but I'm not sure when that would be. I published these plugins to put them out there, I'm not looking to maintain them. If you do add the functionality, I'll be happy to include it in the original plugin with a credit.

By: george

george — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 10:32:40 +0000

Would that be a feature we can expect in the future? or is there way i can include it into the existing plugin?

By: Callum

Callum — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 01:57:38 +0000

@george: No, it doesn't currently copy metadata. It wouldn't be a major task to add that to the plugin though. It copies the term_relationships, so it could copy post_meta in the same way.

Great plugin. thank you. if i use this method will i be able to search custom fields using a search custom-fields plugin? i.e. does the plugin import meta data as well?

@demonicume: You don't want it set to false, that means that the plugin has not been installed. You'd only ever want to set it to true. As soon as you hit one page on one site, the plugin will do all it's installation stuff. So you'd only ever want it set to true after the tables have been created. Does your database user have create table privileges? It looks like the new tables are not being created properly. You could try creating them manually, but the plugin should auto create them on first run. Do you have any logs with CREATE TABLE queries?
