WordPress MU

I'm just checking out the 2.7 trunk (r1626) and am pleased to see the inclusion of the Admin Bar. When you select the option to show the Admin Bar "on the site" is this supposed to mean the entire WPMU site, or just the individual blog? At the moment it just shows on the individual blog, but it would be nice to be able to show the bar across the whole site too.

Cheers - Stuart.

What's strange is I was going to ask for an option to remove it completely as it interferes with the Admin bar we already have.

@tdjcbe: option is available in a new config file constant.

Is it me, or did anyone else notice that the links for sub items reflect the pre-2.7 links, resulting in errors like this:

Cannot load wpmu-blogs.php.

The pages added via plugins are OK, as is the 'edit.php?page=Plugins' link, but the others don't for me:

guys, is this admin bar for the front end or for the backend?

I mean is it aimed to replace the backend admin drop down menu plugins or the front end admin bar plugin?

It can be set for either or both.

:-) I only found the wp-config.php variable where I can enable it. where would I find further settings? can't seem to find anything !?

I set it to: //define( 'NOADMINBAR', 1 );

sorry :-( found the admin bar settings now *blush*

but the next question would be: it seems these settings are not global but per blog ... does that mean each blog owner can disable the admin bar on his front end?

k, tested, logged in as a user to check:

the admin bar is great but I'd like to be able to change its behavious globally, overriding the users prefs.

and I'd be curious if anyone has tested this with buddypress, I seem to remember buddypress having its own admin bar so I am wondering if these two are not interfering at all?

Besides that I have to find out where exactly I can change the admin bar - behaviour and style.

To remove the Admin Bar, you can also try commenting out line 2110 of wpmu-functions.php:

//include( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/wordpress-admin-bar/wordpress-admin-bar.php' );

For myself, I have been using a modified version of the Admin Bar, and rather than modifying it in the wp-includes directory, I prefer to keep using my modified version in the plugins directory.

Just using the 'NOADMINBAR' define causes problems when trying to use WP Admin out of the plugins directory, because everything in wordpress-admin-bar.php is still included.

I think it would be better to have the define just not include wordpress-admin-bar.php at all, instead of just not adding the 'plugins_loaded' action, but oh well.

How can I change settings Globally?

BTW, I thought I'd let you all know that the issue I mentioned above was resolved in the release version of WPMU 2.7.

Great work!

It would be nice to be able to do two things:

1. Specify which menus to include in the bar. Right now, an overabundance of options is splitting the bar up between two lines and messing with the format badly.
2. Configure options site-wide and override user preference.

Anybody know how to tweak this to make these things work? I'm looking at the code and apart from a rewrite of the plugin, I'm not seeing it.

OK, I made a hacked version of the Admin Bar plugin that will make it a site-wide option, stored under the "Admin" section of the site. Nothing fancy, but it works.

wow. will check later.
I'd love this idea, i.e. I would like to make it back end ONLY, as on the frontend I've got something else...

DFE - why you keeping that blog a secret? ;)

LOL, Andrea! No secrets, just lousy site promotion.

Yeah, we'll I'm outing ya. :P

DFE - yes, yes, yes. The variable size of screen resolutions, and the variable nature of different translations of the admin area, make the menu bar a little bit of a problem. It's really really full.

Just get the Ozh admin bar plugin solves all problems!

There is a logic error in the admin bar for https usage

in
wp-includes/wordpress-admin-bar/wordpress-admin-bar.php
line 427
is
if( substr( $url, 0, 7 ) == 'http://' ) {
should be, or at least do an or and check for https
if( substr( $url, 0, 4 ) == 'http' ) {
