WordPress MU

Hi,

I have set up my homepage to use list all plugin. http://subalterncinema.com

However, you will notice that the blog name incorporate's a slash, like this:

Docedge '07: Lessons for Indian documentary filmmakers - Posted to kishore\'s blog by Kishore

How do I remove it please?

What version of the plugin are you running? Sounds like an older one as Andrew fixed this issue a while back.

I am using the latest version available on the WPMUDEV.org site.

Also noticed that the database stores the blog name with a slash. For example, in table wp_2_options the field blogname stores the value kishore's blog as kishore\'s blog.

Is that normal?

In fact even the site http://homeschooljournal.net/ has the same problem.

hmm, i'm not sure what would be causing that and I don't have the time to hunt it down right this second.

However a quick (temporary) fix would be to toss a string replace on the output data. Just replace \' with ' and you should be good to go.

( or stick it in a strpslashes() )

or that :P

It's strange though that it's not showing up over at http://daria.be and I dropped in 0.0.5 this morning. I'm not adding any code in.

I am a PhP newbie - so please excuse this question but is this how the code is meant to be modified?

$str=(list_all_wpmu_posts(10, 100, '', '', '', '','show','show','show'));
echo stripslashes($str);

Great, another to-do on my list. :)

nah, kishore sent me the code to fix the plugin (saved me some time) and i'll have a new release up later today.

Andrea -- I noted that your plugin (http://atypicalhomeschool.net/wordpress-plugins/ah-recent-posts-mu.txt) too output's the slash. I have fixed that as well. Here is the modified version (NOTE THAT I HAVE ADDED THE CLASS "boldfora" TO OUTPUT THE HEADLINE IN BOLD. Users can remove the css reference or create one in their CSS.)
