WordPress MU

Hey everyone,
On my main index blog, I want to show the user logged in's link to his/her blog. I've tried various code snippets, but they only link to the main blog. For example, On the sidebar of my main blog, I want it to say "Welcome NAME, *Link to his/her blog*". I can't seem to get it to link to their blog, the link always links to the main blog. Any help? Thanks!!!

I use snip this in my sidebars:

<?php
global $user_level;
if ( isset($user_level) ) {
$blogs = get_blogs_of_user($current_user->ID);
if ( ! empty($blogs) ) foreach ( $blogs as $blog ) {
echo "
<li><a>domain . $blog->path . "'>" . $blog->path . "</a></li>
";
}
}
?>


Thanks for that, I tried it, but it didn't seem to work. I got this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ''', expecting ',' or ';' in /opt/lampp/htdocs/wp-content/themes/emire-10/sidebar.php on line 82

Line 82 is:


<li><a>domain . $blog->path . "'>" . $blog->path . "</a></li>

Looks like it doesn't like that line...Any ideas? Thanks!

echo "<li><a href='http://" . $blog->domain . $blog->path . "'>" . $blog->path . "</a></li>";

When I pasted the first time the code tags borked it.

(my vhost=no) If you are a vhost=yes then try

echo "<li><a href='http://" . $blog->domain . $blog->path . "'>" . $blog->domain . $blog->path . "</a></li>";

So the whole bit could look something like this:

<?php
global $user_level;
if ( isset($user_level) ) {
echo "<h3>Your Blogs</h3>
";
$blogs = get_blogs_of_user($current_user->ID);
if ( ! empty($blogs) ) foreach ( $blogs as $blog ) {
echo "<li><a href='http://" . $blog->domain . $blog->path . "'>" . $blog->domain . $blog->path . "</a></li>";
}
}
?>

Hmm I tried it again, but it didn't work...All I got was "Your Blogs" but nothing under it..:(

Yeah I'm wondering how to do this as well. Any help?

I use:

function home_page_login_form() {
global $current_user, $blog_id;
if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
?>
<div id="frontlogin">
<form name="loginform" id="loginform" action="wp-login.php" method="post">
<fieldset><legend>Members Login</legend>
<label>Username:&nbsp;</label><br />
<input type="text" name="log" id="log" class="textInput" value="" tabindex="1" /><br />
<label>Password:&nbsp;</label><br />
<input type="password" name="pwd" class="textInput" value="" tabindex="2" />
<br /><label><input name="rememberme" type="checkbox" id="rememberme" value="forever" tabindex="3" style="margin:0;" /> Remember me</label>
<input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="/" />
<br /><input type="submit" name="submit" class="butt" value="Login &raquo;" tabindex="4" />
</fieldset>
</form>
</div>
<?php
} else {
$blogs = get_blogs_of_user($current_user->ID);
$username = $current_user->user_login;
$siteurl= get_settings('siteurl');
?>
<div style="margin-left: 10px;">
<strong>Hi, <?php echo $username; ?>!</strong><br />(<a href="/wp-login.php?action=logout&amp;redirect_to=<?php echo $siteurl; ?>">Logout</a>) <br />
Your blogs:
</div>
<ul>
<?php
if ( ! empty($blogs) ) foreach ( $blogs as $blog ) {
$blog_id = $blog->userblog_id;
$details = get_blog_details($blog_id);
$blogname = htmlspecialchars( $details->blogname );
echo "<li><a href='http://" . $blog->domain . $blog->path . "'>" . $blogname . "</a> | <a href='http://" . $blog->domain . $blog->path . "wp-admin/'>Admin</a></li>";
}
?>
</ul>
<?php
}
}


in functions.php then call it from the sidebar.

Thank you for that, but how do I call if from the sidebar?

ummm ... you call the function?

<?php home_page_login_form(); ?>

Wow thanks! That's exactly what I wanted! Very, very much appreciated :)

No worries, I can't remember where I nicked it from, maybe andrea_r? Use search to trawl these forums, there's a wealth of code snippets to pick through and piece together.

Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for also. One question though. When I login to a blog, it works, but it drops me on the main mu site, rather than the specific blog's main page. I am using vhost=no.

How can I get the user dropped on their own blog main page after login?

You go through the nightmare of trying to get redirects working properly ... had it going a few versions back using javascript, then it broke, then they introduced multiple blogs per user.

How does the server decide which blog to redirect to if you belong to more than one?

You got me scratching my head. I use a theme with a left and right sidebar. It(complete code snip from my post above) does not work in the the bar named "sidebar.php" but works in the "leftbar.php".

Explain that one.

Maybe the sidebar.php doesn't add functions.php ? :D

thx can u widget it please

Just in case anyone was thinking of putting something similar to zeug's function inline in home.php (as I did) you will need to tweak the code to not change the global $blog_id variable, i.e.

$thatblog_id = $blog->userblog_id;
$details = get_blog_details($thatblog_id);

Otherwise the rest of the page will assume that it's switched to the last blog in the loop.

I've succeeded at building a list of links to the current user's blogs as described above.

What I need help with is building a list of only the blogs for which the current user is an *administrator*. Seems a lot trickier.

If I can't build that list I'd settle for annotating the applicable list entries in the full list.

Answered my own question ...

To build a list of blogs for which the current user is administrator:


<?php
global $current_user, $blog_id;
$thisblog_id = $blog_id;
$blogs = get_blogs_of_user($current_user->ID);
if ( !empty($blogs) ) { ?>
<p>

</p>
<?php } ?>


I'm not a programmer -- I just cobbled together the solution from a couple of different threads -- so I can't help but think there is a more efficient way to do this -- with a custom database query of some type perhaps.

Hoo boy. Took out the unnecessary switching between PHP and HTML and the PHP delimiters and trying again ...


// global $current_user, $blog_id;
$thisblog_id = $blog_id;
$blogs = get_blogs_of_user($current_user->ID);
if ( !empty($blogs) ) {
echo '<p>

';
foreach ( $blogs as $blog ) {
$bloggie_id = $blog->userblog_id;
switch_to_blog($bloggie_id);
$user_list = get_users_of_blog();
foreach ( $user_list as $a_user ) {
$member = new WP_User($a_user->user_id);
if ($member->has_cap("publish_posts") && $current_user->ID == $a_user->user_id) {
echo "
• domain . $blog->path . "'>" . $blog->blogname . "
";
break;
}
}
}
switch_to_blog($thisblog_id);
echo '

[grumble, grumble]
trying it with backtick characters as code delimiters

global $current_user, $blog_id;
$thisblog_id = $blog_id;
$blogs = get_blogs_of_user($current_user->ID);
if ( !empty($blogs) ) {
  echo '<p><ul>';
	foreach ( $blogs as $blog ) {
    $bloggie_id = $blog->userblog_id;
    switch_to_blog($bloggie_id);
    $user_list = get_users_of_blog();
    foreach ( $user_list as $a_user ) {
      $member = new WP_User($a_user->user_id);
      if ($member->has_cap("publish_posts") && $current_user->ID == $a_user->user_id) {
	      echo "<li><a href='http://" . $blog->domain . $blog->path . "'>" . $blog->blogname . "</a></li>";
	      break;
      }
    }
  }
switch_to_blog($thisblog_id);
echo '</ul></p>';
}

The admin bar in the wpmu trac lists all blogs owned when logged in, I'm sure you could snag the code used for that.
