We are launching a site dedicated to WiMAX for Latin America and we are using buddypress, this plug in is very useful and I was wondering if you had something similar but for the main blog and not the rest of blogs. Does this make sense?

By the way, I tried place this widget and gave me some errors on the home page, not sure if it is because blogs are not yet allowed and thus there is nothing to show.

Cheers,

Rafa

You can easily edit this plugin to do that by finding line 57:

$posts = bp_blogs_get_latest_posts( null, $instance['total_posts'] );

Replace null with the blog id which is probably 1.


As far as that error goes, I haven't actually tested it with no posts, so I'm guessing that's the issue. Let me know if you still have trouble with it after you have posts.

On normal WordPress, you can edit plugins in the admin. But with WordPressMU you will need to edit the plugin through FTP. The steps to edit will be different depending on what FTP client you are using. You may need to do a Google search for more specific instructions.

Hi Steph,


Ok, I did change that on the FTP and it is almost working: http://latinwimax.com/?swpage=1 I set the widget to display 5 entries per page and 100 as a total and 5 with paginated. The one you see I did upload from this implementation, all the previous ones were imported from a sigle previous wordpress implementation. Any ideas why I am not seeing five entries?

Your posts must not be in the BuddyPress tables. Try going to each post in the admin, click edit and then update. If posts don't go through the normal method, the may not call the hooks that BuddyPress uses.
