Changing Blog Labels in My Site Menu

    Hi there!

    I have a small problem that is probably fixed quite easily, but I can’t figure it out.

    I am currently setting up a fresh multisite installation with different paths for the individual blogs. These are going to be localized versions of my site.

    “/”
    => global entry point;
    => just one page that redirects users to a suitable language

    “/en”
    => default (english) language

    “/de”
    => german language

    The challenge is that all three sites do have the same name which is the name of the company. So now I have three identical site names in the MySites list. If I change the blog names to something individual, it will be reflected in numerous places, especially in the site title. I haven’t found an option to add an “internal label”.

    Is there maybe a way to add the path to the site name in the admin “my sites” menu? That would hopefully be enough to prevent any confusion.

    Thanks in advance,

    Patrick

    In theory…. Make this an MU Plugin:

    <?php
/*
Plugin Name: Show Site Path
Description: Show Site Path in Sites Column for Multisite
*/

function blog_path_columns($column, $blog_path) {
        global $wpdb;
        if ( $column == 'blog_path' ) {
                echo $blog_path;
        return $value;
}

// Add in a column header
function blog_path($columns) {
    $columns['blog_path'] = __('Path', 'blog_path');
    return $columns;
}

        add_filter( 'wpmu_blogs_columns', 'blog_path' );
        add_action('manage_sites_custom_column',  'blog_path_columns', 10, 3);
        add_action('manage_blogs_custom_column',  'blog_path_columns', 10, 3);

    I didn’t test it, but it’s the same idea as this: https://halfelf.org/2011/site-id-columns-multisite/

    Thank you for your very fast response.

    I tried out your plugin. It is missing a closing } bracket at the end of the if statement. Then it works in that it is adding a new column to the My Sites table displaying the blog number.

    Sadly this is not my what I am trying to achieve. I probably have not made my goal clear enough. My goal is to modify the “My Sites” menu and add the path (“/de/”, “/en/” etc.) to the name in the menu. Following is a mockup of what I’d like the menu to look like. I hope that helps.

    Okay, I figured it out. The following snippet is all that it takes. But thanks again for your effort. You pointed me in the right direction.

    <?php
/*
Plugin Name: Show Site Path
Description: Show Site Path in My Sites Menu
*/

function modify_my_site_names( $wp_admin_bar ) {

    //get "my sites"
    $mysites = $wp_admin_bar->user->{'blogs'};

    foreach($mysites as $site) {
      $site->blogname .= ' (' . $site->path . ')';
    }
}

add_action('admin_bar_menu', 'modify_my_site_names');

?>
