WordPress MU

Note this code:

function main_pages() {
	global $wpdb, $blog_id;

	switch_to_blog(1);
		$pages = get_posts('post_type=page&exclude=50,77');
		foreach($pages as $page) {
			$link = get_permalink($page->ID);
			?><li><a href="<?php echo($link); ?>"><?php echo($page->post_title); ?></a></li><?php
		}
	restore_current_blog();
}

That should list out pages from the home blog on any other blog. However, the permalinks are coming out referencing the current blog. See this page, top navigation, for reference:

http://holisticnetworking.net/aquarist/

Those links should be "http://holisticnetworking/portfolio," not "http://holisticnetworking.net/aquarist/portfolio."

Whatup with that?

Beats me to be honest but why not just add it the url as hard code and say the heck with it? :)

<li><a href="http://holisticnetworking/<?php echo($link); ?>">

Because the permalink may not always be the same as what it is in the database.

After switch_to_blog why don't you echo $blog_id to see if the blog id has actually changed.

DragonFlyEye, you are right, I see the same bug.

MrBrian, the correct $blog_id is echoed but the correct links are not returned.

Yeah, the only place I've seen this issue crop up so far has been the combination of switch_to_blog() and get_permalink(). Seems like something must be a little wacky about the $wpdb object, but I haven't had a chance to look too far into it because I'm still working on my login issues.

Have you printed back the wpdb object, to see if it was actually rolled over in the database?

Have you checked changes to get_permalink from 1.5.1 to the 2.6rc?

luna~ That's a no on both counts. I'll be playing around more with this later today.

Looks like my two problems are converging on the same point:

See the bottom where I lay out the problem with both my cookies and $wpdb. I think we're looking at the same bug.

I'm not sure the two bugs are related, but I did find a bug in the switching code because the generic cache class doesn't know about blog_ids. It's now fixed in trunk if you want to try that.
Grab the zip file from http://trac.mu.wordpress.org/browser/trunk and copy over the files of your install.

Thanks, Donncha! I'll give this a shot when I get back to the homestead.

Upgrading to the current trunk help me too!!! Thanks!

Doesn't work anymore... =( (trunk either)
