Super Category (multi-blog) Plugin Compatability List.

Posted on by

To add a plugin to this list please leave a comment with: Plugin Name, url, status. If the plugin doesn’t work please say how it doesn’t work; this description can be technical — the plugin calls get_var(“XXXX”) which has no hook — or non-technical — the plugin shows super categories titles in its widget –, but please give it.

Plugins that work without modification

  • Ultimate Tag Warrior — tags.php will list all tags regardless of site, but individual tags will not list posts from other sites beneath them.
  • Widgets – the plugin itself works.
  • Inap — of course
  • Landing sites
  • Admin Drop Down Menus
  • Askimet
  • runPHP
  • WordStats
  • DupPrevent
  • Google Analyticator

Plugins that require minor modification

  • Dagon Design Sitemap Generator:
      Fix This by:
        Adding:
        if (function_exists('sprcat_filter_categories')){
			$c_items = sprcat_filter_categories($c_items);
		}

        Before: $cat_count = 0;

Plugins that require major modification or do not work

  • XML Sitemap Generator currently does not work. It is possible to get it to work for single domains with a few modifications and if you turn off automatic updates.

Super Category (multi-blog) plugin – V 0.8

Posted on by
46

Unfortunately this is only for WordPress 2.1

The Super Category plugin allows you to have multiple websites running off of one install and one database (one set of tables). The websites can share content if you wish it, and can have different titles, descriptions and themes. This plugin is a true plugin: there are NO HACKS and NO THEME EDITS of any kind. The plugin works with any other plugins and themes that use WordPress’ built in APIs, and features modular functions that can even make other plugins that use custom queries work also.

If you find a problem with the plugin please let me know what happened using as much detail as possible. Unfortunately, I cannot currently ensure every plugin works with this plugin, so please let me know which ones don’t work. I will try to have a fix within a few weeks.

Hide it Plugin

Similar to my most recent plugin, this plugin gives you a new bbcode called ‘hideit’ which will hide any text between the opening and closing tags. In order to keep it simple I have not included a button for this plugin.

Installation is simple. Click the link below to show the download link for the plugin, and then upload as normal.

Show or Hide Until

This plugin provides a BBcode that hides or shows text depending on the date. If you are using the rich text (not WYSIWYG) editor you will be provided with two simple buttons that will insert the BBcode into your post.
The bbcode looks like: ‘[hide_until="Year-Month-Day Hour:Minute:Second".]Some text here[\hide_until]” or ‘[show_until="Year-Month-Day Hour:Minute:Second".]Some text here[\show_until]”.
A couple notes:

  • The time stamp format is very important. There must be hyphens (-) between the Year, Month and Day, a space, and then colons (:) between the hour, minute and second. You can leave the hour, minutes and seconds blank if you wish, but the rest should be filled in.
  • The text can be on multiple lines.
  • One known issue is that you can’t wrap multiple [hide_until]‘s or [show_until]‘s inside of each other. But you can use a [show_until] inside of a [hide_until] or vise versa
  • This plugin was created, tested and uploaded in the same day; consider it Beta (not in the google sense of the word.)

    • Installation:

    1. Upload to your plugins folder.
    2. Activate in the WP admin panel.

    Some possible uses:

    1. Announce the results of a contest in the original post.
    2. Update the instructions for a plugin before you release it without having to re-edit the post later.
    3. Change the content of a time sensitive post.
    4. Write a post all at once, and then have the content released in parts without a lot of different posts.

    Super Category (multi-blog) plugin with no hacks

    This is an old buggy version. Please use the newest.

    NOTE:
    I believe the only part that is missing is where it says to follow the instructions in the Up and Running section. In this section it basically said to make a group of links or categories belong to only one site add them to a category with the same name as the url (eg site: http://anthologyoi.com would have all its links under the anthologyoi.com category).

    Don’t worry I will rewrite the detailed section as soon as I get time (read: over the weekend)
    Download the Super Category Plugin here
    About a month and a half ago I released a first version of this plugin. In it I had to use a combination of hacks along with a plugin to have the same functionality that this version has with no hacks what-so-ever.
