WordPress MU

I'm trying to do a php include that changes with each blog in MU based on blog id number.

Same theme used for all blogs.

This prospective php code would be hardcoded into the sidebar template.

What I would like in simplified form is:

If blog-id=1 display

<?php
@ini_set('expose_php', 'Off');
@include "/var/www/html/domain/site_templates/site_1_1.php";
?>

else if blog-id=2 display

<?php
@ini_set('expose_php', 'Off');
@include "/var/www/html/domain/site_templates/site_1_2.php";
?>

else if blog-id=3 display

<?php
@ini_set('expose_php', 'Off');
@include "/var/www/html/domain/site_templates/site_1_3.php";
?>

So the include changes by blog.

Is it possible to do that? How would something like that be coded?

What's up with the @ symbols?

@ means don't fail on error doesn't it? I've never used it.

Why don't you just do:

include "/var/www/html/domain/site_templates/site_1_".$blog_id.".php";

mysorehead you are the bomb!!

That works perfectly!!!!

Thank you so much!

mysorehead.... problem.... this approach you gave me above works great in the sidebar or anywhere else... but I need to move this code to the footer.

When I move the code to the footer the ".$blog_id." is not working and it is not pulling the blog id.

Is there something or a reason why ".$blog_id." won't work in the footer? Is there a way make it work there?

Give this a whirl:
$wpdb->blogid

Although technically, $blog_id should be available pretty much anywhere.

Thanks,
Andrew

It should be, but sometimes needs to be called as a global first. Same with wpdb, current_user, etc.

That's a good point. If you're trying to use it inside of a function place the following at the top of the function:

global $blog_id;

yeah, what they said....
