MU Sharing posts

  • Hi
    Looking for a plug or more than one to do this:
    In Network any site write ( let’s say ) a BlogPost from It’s Own Site ( sub)

    I Need to bring it on the root site and a coulple of Subs
    – based on category or published time etc-
    And I’m Doing it with a Broacast Plugin

    BUT
    When I click the thumb or Link/Title from the Broacasted Post ( mostly on the Root site -but Iìll need in more sites soon- )
    I get directed on the Very Site I’m at that time ( let say the root site )

    What I do need ?
    I Need to “showcase” those said Blog Posts on the Root site and few other sites BUT, once clicked ( i.e. Read More ) I Want to be Redirected to the very Blog Post In its Originator Site – still within that Nework –

    Anything coming up ?

    I’m sorry, I don’t know of such a plugin, but a custom coded solution is possible. Post data in a network is very much like completely independent sites, each site has its own set of post tables. Normally, we can only query for posts within the current site. However, it is possible to switch internally to a different site and make a query there and have results appear in the initiating site.

    To avoid needing to search through every site’s tables, I recommend all shared posts be stored in a single site, preferably the main root site. Then other sites know just where to go to get shared posts. Since a shared post’s permalink is that of its home site, clicking a post’s more button will take one to its home site regardless of which site the post is appearing in.

    Hello @bcworkz,
    Thanks for the Precise and punctuate Reply.

    The proposed solution is , unfortunately, just the opposite I do needs,
    because the /home would be the other sites recipient content’s.

    Thanks any way for your suggestions and hand on expertise.

    It can be done the other way too, it’s just more cumbersome since you’d have to do a separate search of every site, then aggregate the results. It’s the same process that I suggested earlier, except you’d need to loop through every site.
