[Plugin: Multisite User Management] Patch MSUM to only work with select blogs

Thanks for sharing Dmytro.

@dmytro
I am sorry , but the instructions are not clear to me.
I get this code below and replace the ID’s by my own say 12 in my case.
define(‘MSUM_MANAGED_BLOGS’, ‘1’); ,

now, where do i put this define element.

Secondly, can you please let me know, how have you yourself called the patch file. ?

help please

Hey greatkanishka,

Apologies if anything I say seems a bit basic but I have no idea of how familiar you are with WP or PHP, so please bear with me… Also, I’m assuming that your WP runs on a Unix server and that you have command line access to that server.

The first thing you want to do is to edit your wp-config.php, which is located in the root directory of your WP installation, and add define('MSUM_MANAGED_BLOGS', '12'); just above the /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */ line.

On it’s own, MSUM_MANAGED_BLOGS constant does absolutely nothing, so now you need to modify Multisite User Management plugin to look for it.

Go to the plugin directory (cd wp-content/plugins/multisite-user-management) and save the above patch into a file called msum.patch. Now, you can apply that patch by running the following from the command line (stay in the plugin’s directory!):

patch -p0 < /path/to/msum.patch

This will effectively replace line 196 (version 1.1 of the MSUM) of the ms-user-management.php file with the four lines prefixed with + above.

Hope it helps,

Dmytro

Thanks for your quick reply !
I am above average familiar with WP and PHP .. ??
lol !! learn from you guys he he..
Well , I am using cpanel to edit the file ..and I belive , i can do it now.
I can see that function you listed above. What I am doing after you kind reply is.
1. Add those blog id’s to my config file.
2. Replace the function by the one you gave above.

I was just confusing with the unix server commands. Thats close book for me.
Thanks Buddy !! Will update you if everything works fine.

DO NOT replace the entire function!!

Take out only line 196 (it should match the line prefixed with - in the patch above) and replace it with:

if ( defined('MSUM_MANAGED_BLOGS') )
    $blogs = $wpdb->get_results( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT blog_id, domain, path FROM $wpdb->blogs WHERE site_id = %d AND archived = '0' AND spam = '0' AND deleted = '0' AND blog_id IN (". MSUM_MANAGED_BLOGS .") ORDER BY registered DESC", $wpdb->siteid ), ARRAY_A );
else
    $blogs = $wpdb->get_results( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT blog_id, domain, path FROM $wpdb->blogs WHERE site_id = %d AND archived = '0' AND spam = '0' AND deleted = '0' ORDER BY registered DESC", $wpdb->siteid ), ARRAY_A );

Yup!!
Done it Bro!! Thanks a ton.
Now for others who are not familiar with UNIX commands and get confused like me.

1. Add, this to your wp-config file
define('MSUM_MANAGED_BLOGS', '12'); // blog ID, fresh IDs in each line

2. Search for the function function msum_get_blog_list in multisite-user-management/ms-user-management.php and replace replace the following line of code

$blogs = $wpdb->get_results( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT blog_id, domain, path FROM $wpdb->blogs WHERE site_id = %d AND archived = '0' AND spam = '0' AND deleted = '0' ORDER BY registered DESC", $wpdb->siteid ), ARRAY_A );

with this one

if ( defined('MSUM_MANAGED_BLOGS') )
    $blogs = $wpdb->get_results( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT blog_id, domain, path FROM $wpdb->blogs WHERE site_id = %d AND archived = '0' AND spam = '0' AND deleted = '0' AND blog_id IN (". MSUM_MANAGED_BLOGS .") ORDER BY registered DESC", $wpdb->siteid ), ARRAY_A );
else
    $blogs = $wpdb->get_results( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT blog_id, domain, path FROM $wpdb->blogs WHERE site_id = %d AND archived = '0' AND spam = '0' AND deleted = '0' ORDER BY registered DESC", $wpdb->siteid ), ARRAY_A );

Nice one! ??
