Hey all - I've been searching for an answer to this for a couple of weeks now. I've found all kinds of threads on this forum, and tried all kinds of solutions and plugins mentioned here - as well as solutions I've found through google. However, all of the things I have tried have come *seriously* close - but no cigar.
What I have is a WPMU installation that has a total of 5 blogs - first is the "master" and then 4 sub-blogs. These are all set up as subdirectories, not subdomains (if that matters).
What I need is for the most recent post from each blog to appear on the master index page.
Like I said, I've found *many* threads to this very effect, with many solutions - as well as some from Google. But here's the catch, I guess: I *need* it to remain the most recent post from each blog.
What I mean is, the solutions I've tried do this *BUT* they don't keep with this idea. What happens is, if another blog post something at a more recent date, it overrides and pushes the older ones down as it updates - so two posts from the same blog could appear.
For example, when I initially start it, it'll have:
stuff from blog 1 - 7/10/2008
stuff from blog 2 - 7/7/2008
stuff from blog 3 - 7/6/2008
stuff from blog 4 - 7/3/2008
Now, say someone from Blog 3 comes along and posts a new entry - then the feed changes to look like so:
stuff from blog 3 - 7/17/2008
stuff from blog 1 - 7/10/2008
stuff from blog 2 - 7/7/2008
stuff from blog 3 - 7/6/2008
But what I *want* to happen is this:
stuff from blog 1 - 7/10/2008
stuff from blog 2 - 7/7/2008
stuff from blog 3 - 7/17/2008
stuff from blog 4 - 7/3/2008
Does that make sense?
Like I said, I've tried all kinds of things to get this to work - but the existing solutions I've found seem to basically lump all the feeds into a single feed, and then draw from that. I want them to be kept separated.
Would anyone know how to edit the existing solutions (this one, this one, and this one - to name a few I've tried), or know of some way I can "scrape" my feeds (and yes, they're all mine) to accomplish what I need to do?
Thanks muchly for any point in the right direction :)
