WordPress MU

Hi Can someone please help me with a a query to get any specific post to show on my main blog homepage

How do i adapt this?
<?php $the_query = new WP_Query('');

I want to get this post
blogid=10&postid=6

Any ideas?

If you can suggest the best query method to allow for flexible presentation of attachments, more tag etc...
Thanks

Ok maybe i should describe what i want to do better?

I want to display selected posts on the main blog from the community via blogid & postid

There are a few different ways to query the database.
Can i please get an example which hopefully also provides the ability to include podpress attachments?

Thanks

You want the contect of a specific post from a specific blog to appear on your home page?

Best bet would be copy and paste.

I haven't tried it myself, but doing something like this may work:

// switch to blog id 10
switch_to_blog(10);
$the_query = new WP_Query('postid=6');
while($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post();
// display post here
endwhile;
restore_current_blog();

So basically what you're *really* looking to do is a featured post?

Thanks James,

Awesome, now i can pull any post from any blog onto my front page!

well almost - at the moment it's grabbing all the posts from that blog. What other argument can i try?
'postid=6' just ain't cutting it

$the_query = new WP_Query('postid=6');

I've tried numberposts=1
and also include=6

but it still gets all the posts from that particular blog

Any ideas why these arguments aren't working?

Hi,

Try something like this instead:

$the_query = new WP_Query();
$the_query->query('postid=6');

Again, not sure if it works or not.

switch_to_blog(10);
$postslist = get_posts('numberposts=1&include=6');
foreach ($postslist as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);
// display post here
endforeach;
restore_current_blog();

This works !
now if i can just get the podcast attachments code to work as per this link below:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts#Show_all_attachments

hallelujah!

switch_to_blog(10);
query_posts("p=6");
while (have_posts()) : the_post();

// display post here (attachments included)

endwhile ;
restore_current_blog();

This was "the best query method to allow for flexible presentation of attachments, more tag etc..." as i initially asked...

How is this not common knowledge???
query posts - Post & Page Parameters

Anyway, thanks for your help people - especially James!

Glad to hear you got it working zone19.

Thats the complicated way IMO, you could have used this function:

get_blog_post ( $blog_id, $post_id )

Thanks Mr/Ms Testimony,

but does that hook allow for flexible presentation?

I'd like to pull a list of recent podcasts

anyone know the most elegant way to do this?
