    First off, this is a wonderful plugin for academicians and I sincerely thank you for giving us access to this plugin at no cost.
    I have a newbie question. I am setting up a multisite installation and I have a question regarding enabling teach press the forrest way.
    I would like the users from any subdomain to be able to access their publications across the entire domain. In an earlier post, somebody had mentioned that I need to use static prefixes.
    Since I am very new to this, can you provide any step by step instruction for this?

    For example, I have a site named “Main” and sub domains namely “Research Group A” and “Research Group B”. The professors are listed in site “Main” and their publications are accessible in “Main”. However, the some professors are in “Research Group A” and their publications on that site is the same as here. Same goes for “Research Group B”.

    Can you please give same detailed instruction for this?

    Sorry for taking up your time for this, but I think this information will greatly benefit many of us. Once again, thanks for making this available to all of us.

    Hi,

    If you want to use one big installation for all blogs of your multisite WordPress you have to change the database names.

    For teachPress 4.3.x do the following:

    You will find this part of code in the file teachpress.php:

    $teachpress_settings = $wpdb->prefix . 'teachpress_settings';
$teachpress_pub = $wpdb->prefix . 'teachpress_pub';
$teachpress_tags = $wpdb->prefix . 'teachpress_tags';
$teachpress_relation = $wpdb->prefix . 'teachpress_relation';
$teachpress_user = $wpdb->prefix . 'teachpress_user';
...

    Delete “$wpdb->prefix” and add instead the prefix, which is used by your main blog. For example:

    $teachpress_settings = 'wp_teachpress_settings';
$teachpress_settings = 'wp_teachpress_settings';
...

    For teachPress 5.0 beta (or higher) do the following:

    With teachPress 5.0 you can simply overwrite the default parameters. For that you can define the following in your wp-config.php (For example, if your prefix is “wp_”):

    define('TEACHPRESS_REL_PUB_AUTH', 'wp_teachpress_rel_pub_auth');
define('TEACHPRESS_AUTHORS', 'wp_teachpress_authors');
define('TEACHPRESS_USER', 'wp_teachpress_user');
define('TEACHPRESS_RELATION', 'wp_teachpress_relation');
define('TEACHPRESS_TAGS', 'wp_teachpress_tags');
define('TEACHPRESS_PUB_META', 'wp_teachpress_pub_meta');
define('TEACHPRESS_PUB', 'wp_teachpress_pub');
define('TEACHPRESS_SETTINGS', 'wp_teachpress_settings');
define('TEACHPRESS_SIGNUP', 'wp_teachpress_signup');
define('TEACHPRESS_COURSE_DOCUMENTS', 'wp_teachpress_course_documents');
define('TEACHPRESS_COURSE_CAPABILITES', 'wp_teachpress_course_capabilites');
define('TEACHPRESS_COURSE_META', 'wp_teachpress_course_meta');
define('TEACHPRESS_COURSES', 'wp_teachpress_courses');
define('TEACHPRESS_STUD_META', 'wp_teachpress_stud_meta');
define('TEACHPRESS_STUD', 'wp_teachpress_stud');
define('TEACHPRESS_ASSESSMENTS', 'wp_teachpress_assessments');
define('TEACHPRESS_ARTEFACTS', 'wp_teachpress_artefacts');
