I have domains mapped to one WPMU install. The home pages work though I'm unable to get to the pages or posts. mod_rewrite is enabled. All DNS records have been filled a month or so ago. </p> <p>If using WPMU to host multiple sites with multiple domains, how should the CNAME record be filled out? Should the CNAME record point to an IP address (in lieu of the A-record, as per the plugin instructions)? </p> <p>And does a CNAME record need to be filled out such that both <a href="http://www.domain2.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.domain2.com</a> and domain2.com point to the IP address of the WPMU install rather than domain2.com? </p> http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/15496#post-89325 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 23:31:38 +0000 wpmuguru 89325@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ <p>You only have the DNS set up for <a href="http://www.monetizemylife.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.monetizemylife.com</a> and not monetizemylife.com.

As you have discovered, wpmu doesn't like being used as an addon or via a redirect.</p> <p>You can do it but you'll quickly discover it'll cause more issues down the road. Plus with most hosting setups (ie CPanel) if Apache has any issue like even a 404 that it can't deal with, it'll fall back to the main site. </p> http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/15597#post-89111 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 06:03:15 +0000 techjockey 89111@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I have my primary Wordpress <a href="http://itechengine.com">blog</a> installed in the /public_html folder.

I will definitely do so; I think I've made some progress, so I want to see if I can make it work this way first though.</p> <p>I am reading about it and may very well end up with wpcal.</p> <p>In the meantime, at like 2 a.m. last night I made a change to get the custom fields to display like an event listing. It shows up fine in Firefox and Chrome: <a href="http://elp.metalcast.net/events/" rel="nofollow">http://elp.metalcast.net/events/</a></p> <p>That "ul" which contains the event details are custom fields.</p> <p>Now, this may not be the greatest way. If it's horrible please smack me aside the head, I'd like to learn correctly.</p> <p>In Thesis's loop.php, inside the post loop, I added a hook thesis_hook_inside_post($post_count).</p> <p>Then, in my custom_functions.php, I created a new function and assigned it to that hook. This is the function:<br /> <pre><code>/* Events Main Page Customization */ function show_custom_event_fields($post_count = &#39;&#39;) { global $current_blog; $blog_id = $current_blog-&gt;blog_id; $eventsBlog = get_id_from_blogname(&#39;events&#39;); if ($blog_id == $eventsBlog) { $months = array(&quot;January&quot;,&quot;February&quot;,&quot;March&quot;,&quot;April&quot;,&quot;May&quot;,&quot;June&quot;,&quot;July&quot;,&quot;August&quot;,&quot;September&quot;,&quot;October&quot;,&quot;November&quot;,&quot;December&quot;); // $key = &#39;event_month&#39;; // our custom field name $m = get_post_custom_values(&#39;event_month&#39;); // holding array $month = $m[0]; // assign value $d = get_post_custom_values(&#39;event_day&#39;); $day = $d[0]; $y = get_post_custom_values(&#39;event_year&#39;); $year = $y[0]; $l = get_post_custom_values(&#39;event_location&#39;); $location = $l[0]; $s = get_post_custom_values(&#39;event_sponsor&#39;); $sponsor = $s[0]; if ($sponsor == &#39;&#39;) $sponsor = &quot;&lt;span class=&#39;fade&#39;&gt;n/a&lt;/a&gt;&quot;; $t = get_post_custom_values(&#39;event_time&#39;); $etime = $t[0]; // show custom fields here, please ?&gt; &lt;ul class=&quot;event_info&quot;&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Date:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;?= $months[$month-1] . &quot; &quot; . $day . &quot;, &quot; . $year ?&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Time:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;?= $etime ?&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Location:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;?= $location ?&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;Sponsor(s):&lt;/span&gt; &lt;?= $sponsor ?&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;?php } else { // ATTENTION: do not show the custom fields } } add_action(&#39;thesis_hook_inside_post&#39;, &#39;show_custom_event_fields&#39;);</code></pre> <p>It seems to be freezing and crashing Internet Explorer 6 and 7 most of the time.

The city people need to be able to add events, so I'm making each event a post, as you can see.<br /> Each event also has some custom fields attached to it. event_month, event_day, event_sponsor, things like that.</p> <p>My ish is this: On this events main front, I'd like to be able to display the posts in the feed, but also display a few of their custom fields, which have specific event place / time data.</p> <p>I originally tried to set a static page with a custom function in Thesis as the "home page" of this directory, but it was showing the empty "page" content of the fake homepage rather than a list of posts. I know how to run a $wpmu mysql query to pull posts if I want, but I don't see the custom_fields anywhere in the tables in phpMyAdmin, though I could be overlooking them.</p> <p>It also seems as if, even if I assign a separate installation of Thesis (directory name changed in wp-content/themes/ to something else) and write some custom functions in there and try to assign them, that the /events/ sub-blog of the main WPMU site still defaults to picking up the custom_functions.php file from the main site. </p> <p>I was thinking I could edit "The Loop" in the Events install of Thesis to include displaying the custom_fields, but I can't get that install to take precedence over the main WPMU theme install for some reason. I'm confused as to that, as well.</p> <p>Should this be it's own blog? Or should I be structuring this differently? I've tried even more than I'm saying, but I just am really at a loss.</p> <p>If anyone could point me conceptually in the right direction, it'd be much appreciated. If this needs to be clarified, I'd be happy to do so. </p> http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/15496#post-88989 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:29:24 +0000 foodin65 88989@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ <p>Andrea I think I figured it out. </p> <p>The WPMU install I'm working with here isn't installed at my web root folder. It's installed in a sub-folder. </p> <p>The web-root is MFCommunity.com - a buddypress site. </p> <p>nLightOnline.com is in a sub-folder on my host. I assume this means that when I point my domain to the IP address using an A-Record, the domain is being passed to the WPMU install at the web-root... and it has no idea what to do with it. </p> <p>On my sites, when I remove the mapped domain from the back-end.
