Trying to get co-authors working with global search.

Co-Authors Plus – [resolved] Adding co-authors Bio, Avatar & Link (7 posts)

Thanks but i had already found that thread and it did not work (is returning my nicename on every post instead of co-author)

I have used this on several other sites and have not had any trouble getting it to work properly, but with the way the global search is pulling in the author I just cannot get it to work at all.

Is this the entire code…

$blogid = '';
	            foreach( $search as $s ) {
	                $author = get_userdata( $s->post_author );
	                if( $blogid != $s->blog_id ) {
	                    $blogid = $s->blog_id; ?>

…as it looks like you are missing two closing “}”.

i just omitted it in my paste up here is the full code

<?php
	            $blogid = '';
	            foreach( $search as $s ) {
	                $author = get_userdata( $s->post_author );
	                if( $blogid != $s->blog_id ) {
	                    $blogid = $s->blog_id; ?>

	                    <h2 class='globalblog_title'><?php echo get_blog_option( $blogid, 'blogname' ) ?></h2>
	                <?php
	                } ?>

	                <div <?php post_class( 'globalsearch_post' ) ?>>
	                	<div class="globalsearch_header">
	                    	<h2 id="post-<?php echo $s->ID.$s->blog_id; ?>" class="globalsearch_title"><a href="<?php echo get_blog_permalink( $s->blog_id, $s->ID ); ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php echo __( 'Permanent Link to', 'ms-global-search' ).' '.$s->post_title; ?>"><?php echo $s->post_title ?></a></h2>
	                    	<p class="globalsearch_meta">
								<span class="globalsearch_comment"><?php ms_global_search_get_comments_link( $s ); ?></span>
								<span class="globalsearch_date"><?php echo date( __( 'j/m/y, G:i', 'ms-global-search' ) ,strtotime( $s->post_date ) ); ?></span>
								<span class="globalsearch_author"><?php echo '<a href="https://' . $s->domain.$s->path.'author/'.$author->user_nicename . '" title="' . $author->user_nicename . '">' . $author->user_nicename . '</a>'; ?></span>
								<?php echo ms_global_search_get_edit_link( $s, '<span class="globalsearch_edit">', '</span>' ); ?>
							</p>
						</div>

						<div class="globalsearch_content">
	                    	<div class="entry">
	                    		<?php
	                    		if(strcmp($excerpt, "yes") == 0)
	                    			echo ms_global_search_get_the_excerpt( $s );
	                        	else
	                        		echo ms_global_search_get_the_content( $s ); ?>
	                    	</div>
						</div>
	                </div>
	            <?php
	            }
	        }
	    } else { ?>
		    <h3 class='globalpage_title center'><?php _e( "Not found", 'ms-global-search' ) ?></h3>
	        <p class='globalpage_message center'><?php _e( "Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.", 'ms-global-search' ) ?></p>
	    <?php
	    }
	}
}

As it turns out…. The global Mutlisite search plugin creates a view table of all of the differnt blogs posts and searches against that. It doesn’t use any kind of custom taxonomies so unless I rewrite how it duplicates posts this will never work.
