Site of the week: Edublogs
Posted by Andrea under site of the week
Sometimes the hard part of picking a site for the week isn’t finding an actual good site, it’s deciding what one to showcase next! James whined and cried a little so I said alright.
Seriously though - if you’re looking for MU-based sites blazing a path forward, you have to keep your eye on Edublogs, especially [...] Read more »

Testing, testing
Posted by Andrea under News
Just a brief administration post to let you know I’m testing a translation plugin here on this blog. Since all posts are written in English, I figured my worldwide audience would find posts in their language quite handy. My second-language skills are limited to being able to yell at my kids or recieve instruction en [...] Read more »

Integrating bbpress
Posted by Andrea under how to
Integrating bbpress with WordpressMU is pretty straightforward and just like integrating it with regular wordpress.
We’ll assume you have a running version of WPMU installed. For our example, I’m using a subdomain install and the forum will be on a subdomain as well.
In cPanel, I went and added a subdomain. This creates folder on the system [...] Read more »

Making a member list blog directory
Posted by Andrea under how to
Sorry for the convoluted title, it’s more for search engines. I’ve found there’s quite a few different ways people phrase what they want, but here’s how to do it. Ultimately, you will wind up with a separate page off the main blog with a list of all your public member blogs.
You will need:

It’s coming…
Posted by Andrea under News
I watch the trac feed for activity, and it’s been busy the past couple of weeks. This morning changes came in with a note: “Add and delete WP 2.5 files. *DON’T SVN UPDATE!*”
So by that, you can see the WP 2.5 changes are being rolled in. I expect it will be only a couple days [...] Read more »

Check your install for unfiltered_html
Posted by Andrea under known issues
Just before the last release, the check for unfiltered_html snuck back into the code base for MU. This means that if you’re using code since then, your users can insert malicious code into your site.
Please read this forum post from Donncha for more details. You can update the wp-admin/includes/schema.php so new blogs won’t have this, [...] Read more »

25 New and different ways to use WordpressMU
Posted by Andrea under ideas
I was reading the list of 48 Unique Ways To Use WordPress earlier today, when it struck me that many of these ideas and more would be even better on an MU platform.
Especially the section where Raj notes getting a domain and setting up a blog on subdomains. Um, Raj? This is exactly what MU [...] Read more »

Buddypress is moving forward
Posted by Andrea under News
Well well well.
If you’re keeping tabs on the Buddypress project there’s been some interesting developments. Check out the original site link and this thread. Andy is now working for Automattic to develop BuddyPress for WPMU.
I am not sure how I feel about it right now.

Wordpress to WordpressMU importing
Posted by Andrea under Where can I find...?, how to
I love it when someone gets to me to-do list before me. It’s like an early birthday present. That being said, Jim over at BatavaTuesdays has written up a pretty thorough step-by-step process. I haven’t tested it myself, but it looks right so far.
The quick overview is to make a SQL backup of the [...] Read more »
