@Xenia,
thank you for your kind comment, please note that making this plugin work with multiple subdomains means multiple db connections something that it’s not possible with connect2site … but it’s a challenge to develop this functionality. I will try to work it out during the weekend. I hope your site is using WP version 2.9.2

Hi, I love your plugin. My site has multiple subdomains and would like to link them up onto the main wp blog but in different widgets. Could it be possible to have have the same set up as this current plugin, one site on one widget, but up to 4 seperate sub sites?

Wow this is exactly what I’ve been looking for, I think. If I can make this work on MU it would be amazing. (this should really be built into the MU core, imo)

@Derek, in the latest version of the plugin there is no need to add the widget to your sidebar. Your options are 1) use the shortcodes 2) check out the source code to see the functions and parameters that the short codes are using and use them in your theme for example :

Displays the excerpt of a single post with ID 35.

In case of a problem check if you are missing the parameter loading that you have entered in the plugin setup.

I don’t use widgets I hand code my themes. Is there a way to use your plugin w/out the widget. Can I do something like and have it display?

@balej , the current version of the plugin supports one subdomain.

i am wanting to link to multiple subdomains. is there a way to install this using another name such as “connect2site-1″ or “connect2site-a”, or whatever? It is a great widget and does exactly what i want, but I need to link to two or three at the same time.

@gulflee: the proper call in a page or a direct post is through the short codes, for example if you want to import the full post with ID 449 you enter in the single post the following short code: [c2s type="post" num="" chars="" cat="" post="449" exc="0"] or if you want to import just the excerpt [c2s type="post" num="" chars="" cat="" post="449" exc="1"]. I haven't managed to simulate the error you are getting. Are you calling the function using a PHP call to the get_target_post(arg1,arg2) function ?

filos, i m trying to make the “get_target_post()” work, direct call from single post.
$sql = ’select id as s_id, post_title as s_title, post_content as s_Content, post_excerpt as s_Excerpt, comment_count as s_Comments from ‘.$connect2_pre.’posts where ‘.$connect2_pre.’posts.post_type=”post” and ‘.$connect2_pre.’posts.ID =”449″‘;
but it return nothing when “$rst = mysql_query($sql, $db); print_r (mysql_fetch_assoc($rst));”. When ever single post is specific it return nothing(wp_posts.ID=”449″). Can help?
