Search for "most recent posts" or 'latest posts".
That's not going to work in this case if one blog as a number of posts after another one has. I believe the poster is looking for 1 post from each blog.
Easiest method is to hard code the page to grab the last post from each specific blog usinf the fetch_rss feed, set to grab only one post from each rss.
Take a look at your wp-admin/index-extra.php file to see usage of the fetch_rss function.
i use chis code
<div class="recent-posts">
<h2>Recent Posts</h2>
<?php
$blogs = get_last_updated();
foreach ($blogs as $blog) :
// we need _posts and _options tables for this to work
$blogOptionsTable = "wp_".$blog['blog_id']."_options";
$blogPostsTable = "wp_".$blog['blog_id']."_posts";// we fetch the blog name
$opt2 = $wpdb->get_col("SELECT option_value FROM $blogOptionsTable WHERE option_name='blogname'");// we fetch the latest post
$opt3 = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT * FROM $blogPostsTable WHERE post_status='publish' AND post_type='post' ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 0,1");// sometimes the guid is missing, so just use blog url
if (trim($opt3->guid)) {
$mypostlink = trim($opt3->guid);
} else {
$mypostlink = 'http://'.trim($blog['domain']);
}$myposttitle = '<big><b>'.$opt3->post_title.'</b></big><br/>';
$mypostdetails = '<small>from '.trim($blog['domain']).' on '.strftime("%A, %B %d, %Y at %I:%M %p",strtotime($opt3->post_date)).'</small><br/>';
$mypostcontent = ''.$opt3->post_content.'';print '<div class="post">'."n".$myposttitle."n".$mypostdetails."n".$mypostcontent."n</div>n";
endforeach;
?>
</div>
i use it in the index.php into my theme directory...
but i need to load it only if the root blog and not in the subdir blog...
any ideas??
WPMU can activate themes on a one theme/one blog basis:
1. Deactivate the custom theme: SiteAdmin-->Themes then
2. Activate your theme only for the root blog: SiteAdmin-->Blogs-->Edit-->Blog Theme-->check box(only deactivated themes are listed)
3. Activate the custom theme in the usual manner.
tnx a lot...
i'll try this evening :D
Why not query all public blogs, get each Blog-URL, and grap only one post of every blog-rss-feed, speak $blog_url."/feed" Blogfeeds are being cached, and its only one db query.
So you can have a list, with the most recent post from *every* public blog.
* Blog 1 with its recent post.
* Blog 2 with its recent post.
* Blog 3 with its recent post.
* ...
you get the idea.
That's what I suggested up a few posts.
I am trying this also with the rss = @fetch_rss from index-extra.php but i am not exactly sure how to use this. Can someone explain how to use this function?
