[Plugin: Featured Posts] Possible to allow all sites to run their own instance?

    This plugin is exactly perfect for what I am trying to accomplish — almost.

    What I would like to be able to do is allow bloggers to feature other posts from across the network. However, as far as I can tell, this plugin can’t be used at the individual blog level. It only shows up in the super-admin menu, and appears as though only one instance can run.

    I hope I’m being clear as to what I am asking. How difficult would it be for a PHP notice like me to adjust the code to run several instances (and creating different tables), or to allow this to run at the blog level instead of the network level?

    Yep, it’s only once instance, for the super admin to use.

    I’m not sure changing it that extensively would be novice-level. :-/

    Ah, well, figured.

    In case someone else is torturing themselves with a similar issue (though I doubt it and hope not), here’s the workaround I did:

    – Use Andrea’s sitewide tags plugin to get the feed of all network posts
    – Use a rebroadcast plugin to re-publish the posts on the different blogs (i.e., ours is a sports network, so some posts go on the MLB blog, some on the NFL blog, etc.)
    – Use the custom fields that sitewide tags uses to replace the post meta so the re-posted blog points to the original post

    It’s quite the loop, but it works for what I need it to do!
