WordPress MU

Also remember that if you enable theme-editing, folks are goign to be editing each others themes. The themes are a shared resource.

Which Adhesive/ Sticky plugin are folks using by the way? I know that there's a couple of them.

Is their an htaccess line to allow theme-editor.php to only be run if clicked on in the userthemes menu, causing a 404 if someone simply types in theme-editor.php in url bar?

Better fix(help?) is to edit the die line in theme-editor.php as follows:

Commenting out the die line in theme-editor.php will allow anyone, regardless of usertheme enabled for them or not to type theme-editor.php url directly to edit any system theme they want. YIKES.

So I added the following condition to top of theme-editor.php:

if(get_option('ut_use_user_theme') == 0) {
die( __('You do not have permission to access the theme editor.') );
}

Looks nasty, but it seems to work.

I noticed a few, (Dr. Mike one of them), listing Slim-Stats as a plugin they were using in MU. I can't get it to work. Is there a trick, or am I misinterpreting something?

*** Update - I got it to work, sort of. I'm using the subdirectory structure, and the tables are being created, however, the only blog that gets any stats is the main page. I'd presume this is because of the subdirs, but does anyone have a hack to get around that? Thanks so much! ***

OK, I'm an idiot.

The plugin is geared so that it won't count you as a logged in admin of the site.

Duh!

It works great.

Don't forget to edit wp-admin/menu-header.php to allow for the link to theme-editor.php. Do remember thogh of course that if one person changes the theme, they change it for everybody who uses that theme.

I need to do a walkthrough on how to use Slim Stats because not of the links work and it doesn't set itself up upon blog creation.

drmike, my hack above enables the use of theme editor, only if a user has one of their own userthemes active. System themes can't be edited by anyone but the Site Admin. Theme editor dies if a user has a system theme active.

OK.

By the way, has anyone been able to enable Gravatar's cache in WPMU? It lets me turn it on to caching but when i come back to the page, it's turned off.

Thanks

How about a meta tag plugin?

Thanks,

Hi drmike,

I have looked at your site - very impressive :)

Can you list the plugins you use there?

Thanks!

Hi Quenting,

Is the code for your plugins "most active bloggers, most commented blogs" available?

@ drmike:

you said: Don't forget to edit wp-admin/menu-header.php to allow for the link to theme-editor.php.

would yo ucare to elaborate a little more please - how to do that?

nope, it's custom coded and not released. uses a cache of post and comment counts computed via a cron task.

Thanks to all for sharing. I find it all so informative. Now I need to go through it item by item. Wish me luck. Cheers!
