WordPress MU

Hi,

On our blog homepage we have 10 blogs (e.g blog 1 is Joe Blogs, blog 2 is Jim Smith's etc), What i'd like to know is can I re-order how these are shown on the homepage? e.g Jim is first and Joe is second etc etc?

I would be grateful for any help.

Regards.

Um, how are you displaying them in the first place? Are you using a function to do it?

Hi,

They are being returned by the home.php file, I'm not sure which function specifically does it, its just the standard way I think.

Apologies for my newbieness :)

Also if you know of a better way to set-up what i'm trying to achieve, I would be most grateful of any pointers.

Do you mean the home.php file that comes with the standard WPMu theme?

normally, you'll get the blog's list with $blogs = get_last_updated(); or something like it, and it will return an array. in 99% of cases, simply invert with $blogs = array_reverse($blogs); or tweak the array in some way.

Otherwise, you can make an hardcoded array with the order like this:


$my_order = array("blog1id"=>"ordernum","blog2id"=>"ordernum", [...] "blogNid" => "ordernum");


and use PHP array functions to make your order parsing the $blogs array cited above.

Hope it will help to understand :-)

Hi,

drmike yeah it is the home.php file that comes with the standard theme.

pixline cheers for your input will give it a go.

Thanks to both of you :)

I forget: there's three ways to get blog list, as far I can remember:


$blogs = get_blog_list();
$blogs = get_most_active_blogs(5);
$blogs = get_last_updated();


To get the blog list ordered by id ascending, my upcoming plugin use:


$blogs = array_reverse($blogs);


You need the order array only for custom ordering.
