I know that:

<?php bloginfo(‘description’); ?>

Will insert the description for the current blog that I’m in, but lets say that I have another blog on my site called: “Cheese”

I would like to insert the description for the “Cheese” blog, somewhere on my main blog.

I’ve been meddling with the:

bp_has_site_blogs

function, but I haven’t had much luck (because the only types I can choose are “active”,”random” and “newest”)

I wanted to change to type to a specific blog on the site.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

if you know the blog id then you can use something of this kind

say you want to get description for blog id having id 7

<?php

$blog_id=7;//or what ever

$description=get_blog_option($blog_id,"blogdescription");

echo $description;//show the description

?>

Hope it helps

@ Brajesh: You could make it even smaller.

echo get_blog_option(7,"blogdescription");

Didn’t know it was possible like that, definately easier than my method.

@nickbwatson you are most welcome

@Xevo I knew that, but I thought to emphasize better, so written a verbose copy
