[Plugin: Multipost MU] Comments?

This one seems like a potential can of worms. I can see most people using ths plugin as a syndication mechanism and wanting child blog post comments to remain on that specific blog.

Syncing between blogs would require a fairly complex set of rules and admin options to make sure behavior is as desired.

Not to say this will never happen, but I don’t see it as a priority unless more people request it.

I request! I love the plugin (donation coming soon). For a hierarchical multi-site, multi-author blog like mine, comment sync would be very valuable. My multi-site blog has local editions which feed up to the main blog. Comments made at either level should be aggregated on both levels. A menu of sync options would be helpful too, e.g., one way sync, two way sync. I’m also waiting for better comment syncing with facebook fan pages and twitter page but thats another developer. Anyway, thanks for the great plugin!

Yes, I request it too. It’s needed for websites that have a wide spectrum of posts on the main page, filtered down to more focused subjects in the subdomains. It’s really weird to have two completely separate sets of comments, depending on which site the site reader happened to comment on first.

Maybe it could be added as an option.

better yet would be just to have the link for the post always go to the main site. Or am I missing somthing with that?

Yes. With Multi-Post, posts to main site and subdomains can go in either direction. I haven’t decided yet if I’m going to make all posts to the main site and trickle them down to the subdomains or if I’m going to continue posting to the subdomains and trickle them up to the main site.

It’s a bit of a logistical nightmare, because I’d really rather have the comments go on the subdomain post to keep the contributed information, in this case on a travel destination, on topic. I would also rather send the url of the subdomain post to social media sites like stumbleupon and twitter to spread out the traffic.

The plugin doesn’t work exactly like I expected – I expected a redirect/link of the post. So that if someone clicks on the post from the main page it would go to the one post on the subdomain. I thought it would just be the post-title, post-image and extract that would post to the main site.

The double comments thing just makes it even more confusing.

The other thing is that I have a Submission form on a page on the main site and I wanted to put the same page on each subdomain – but the form (of course) doesn’t go along with the page. Which then means that I have to create a different Submission page for each subdomain.

Hello,
I’m new to the forum and I am happy to join you.
I liked your pluging and I’m agree with kkradel.
I think readers should be directed to the link of the post
the initial domain. to avoid duplication I think it would be
more interesting to copy a piece of text (limited or
extract the fields).
If we could change the code how I can do it
difficult?
thank you

I decided to switch over to the Broadcast plugin when I realized that it does exactly what I need it to do …

@kkradel, I’m thinking the 3wp Broadcast plugin maybe a deadend. The developer hasn’t released a new version since February and the support forum doesn’t show any responses in about the last 10 months. I also remember seeing a discussion between the developers of this plugin, the Broadcast plugin, and one other that did a similar thing. I vaguely recall them all deciding to quit their own and support this plugin (I may be overstating that). I recall that made decide to stay with this one.
