WPMU Aggregated Summary Page? (6 posts)

    Hi Everyone,

    I'm a new WMPU user, just starting to get familiar with the software.

    What I'm trying to do is set it up so that the main page of the blog (ie: http://www.myblog.com) will show the last # of posts from EVERYONE's blogs...

    So, in essence, if you go to:

    mike.myblog.com you will see the 4 posts that are there.

    or if you go to:

    jason.myblog.com you will see the 3 posts that are there.

    but if you go to:

    http://www.myblog.com you will see all 7 posts, in order of date.

    Also, it needs to show the actual post, not just a summary showing the titles of the posts.

    Is there a plugin or some simple way to do this? It seems like it should be really easy... but I can't figure it out!

    By the way, I should note that I just used 'myblog.com' as an example! I just realized that it's an actual blogging domain, but that's NOT what I'm using. I'm using my own domain, which for privacy reasons for the client, I don't want to post on the forum. Thanks!

    I've tried this extension on four different themes and have never gotten it to return anything. Can someone give me an example of WHERE the function call should go? Does it go in a theme page? If so, which one and where?

    Yes, it goes on a theme page - the fiel where you want it to show, in the position you want. Like home.php

    There's also

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try the call in another location.

    Regarding Most-recent-posts, this returns the last 10 posts. It won't solve my problem because I'm running a MU installation where there are 10 different podcasts. The producers produce on different schedules - some daily, some weekly, some monthly. I want to be able to display the most recent from each show on the main blog so that the producers who don't produce as often don't get buried by those who do.
