If you want the actual front end templates rendered, then that’s quite complicated. Your function above would just return a link to the blog. What are you trying to do?
I am trying to enable it so a user on any blog (on the MU platform) & or page on the site can return back to their blog with one clickable link in the sidebar or header.
Any ideas on how best to accomplish this?
Thanks @djpaul
This MAY work for you.
`
ID ; $user_blogs = get_blogs_of_user( $user_id ); foreach ($user_blogs AS $user_blog) {$user_blog->siteurl; break;} $link = $user_blog->siteurl;$title = “My Very Own Blog”; $var = “
$title“; echo “$var”; ?>
`
Not a coder so it probably could be cleaned up !
@valuser that is fantastic. If you can accomplish that you can’t sell yourself short, maybe you’re more of a programmer than you think.
Got one last request – I need it to point to a directory, for instance:
`<a href='$link/directory'`
any ideas on how to complete that?
I don’t quite follow.As far as i can recall i had tested this on multisite & on multisite/multinetwork.
The code (i think) gets all blogs of the user but “breaks” or stops at the first which is the users main blog.
Thus the eventual `$link = $user_blog->siteurl;’
returns the site url of the primary blog of the user .
So on multisite subdirectories it would return http://mydomain.com/theblogaddressofcurrentuser/
or on multisite subdomain it would return http://theblogaddressofcurrentuser.mydomain.com/
so Famous, if the setup was subdirectories and your blog (sub)address was famous, you would go to http://mydomain.com/famous/
and
If the setup was subdomains and your blog (sub)address was famous, you would go to http://famous.mydomain.com/
I probably worded that a little difficult. What I meant was that it works great. I just want it to point to a page as it hits the blog.
So for instance:
http://mydomain.com/famous/page1.php
late here. so off the top of my head you will have to mess with `$var = “<a href='$link'`
you have to add /page1.php (that is of course if page1.php is the same for all user blogs) to `’$link’` it could be `’$link./page1.php’` or ` ‘$link’.’/page1.php’`
mess around with it as i will tomorrow but this is where lack of formal training shows up. A coder reading this would do it in a flash. The dot in .php could be messing it up. Hopefully an angel coder will see this post, smile and make it beautiful!
@valuser – today you happen to be my angel coder, so thanks.
It’s probably not the technically correct way, but I used:
`href=’$link/page”`
since we don’t have to use the .php anyway and it worked. Who knew.
