Blog titles with links

You would need to write something for that. SWT doesn’t pass that info through to the global blog.

Thanks Ron, I came to that conclusion aswell.

The post_meta table on the global blog only contains the blogid and permalink for each post so I’d probably need to customize the plugin which is just a little above my php knowledge ??

I had a similar need, I wound up editing the SWT plugin to grab the title in the global_meta array. I’m still working on a way to do it without modifying the plugin but until then, this might help.

Around line 367 of the SWT plugin I added $global_meta['blogtitle'] = get_bloginfo('title');

and then where ever you want to output the title on your tags site echo (get_post_meta($post->ID, "blogtitle", true));

miklb, this is fabulous info.
Will have a try out later today

Many many thanks!

hmm, I’m not getting the expected output?!
Instead of the blog title from the corresponding blog I get the global blog title on each post.
miklb, would you consider sharing your modified plugin?

My version literally is the same plugin with that one line added. Can you confirm that the posts pushed to your tags blog is getting that post_meta field added with the the site title associated with the post?

I’m not outputting the title in template, rather I’m creating a custom feed where I use the post_meta. If you can confirm the correct title is being added, I’ll double check how I’m outputting the info.

@miklb – there was quite a bit of rewriting in the latest version, so your line # might be off enough to be in the wrong place.

@miklb – I get the blogtitle value in the post_meta now but it’s always the global blog title and not the corresponding blog title.

Maybe I put your code in the wrong place?
From the plugin line 367:

switch_to_blog( $tags_blog_id );

                $global_meta['blogtitle'] = get_bloginfo('title');

        if( is_array( $cats ) && !empty( $cats ) ) {
                foreach( $cats as $t => $d ) {
                        /* Here is where we insert the category */
                        wp_insert_category( array('cat_name' => $d['name'], 'category_description' => $d['name'], 'category_nicename' => $d['slug'], 'category_parent' => '') );

                        /* Now get the category ID to be used for the post */
                        $category_id[] = $wpdb->get_var( "SELECT term_id FROM " . $wpdb->get_blog_prefix( $tags_blog_id ) . "terms WHERE slug = '" . $d['slug'] . "'" );
                }
        }

        $global_post = $wpdb->get_row( "SELECT * FROM {$wpdb->posts} WHERE guid = '{$post->guid}'" );

        if( $post->post_status != 'publish' && is_object( $global_post ) ) {
                wp_delete_post( $global_post->ID );
        } else {
                if( $global_post->ID != '' ) {
                        $post->ID = $global_post->ID; // editing an old post

Move the line you added to before the switch_to_blog( ...

Thanks Ron but sorry…no dice.
Still same global blog title output on each post.

Maybe I’m doing the loop wrong?
In the theme file loop I have it like this (twentyten standard):

Opps, looks like it’s actually working now (had a cache issue)

Thank you both for your help ??

cool, sorry I didn’t get back sooner. And thanks Ron on the heads up of the rewriting, I was working off a dev version still.

For future reference, for v.4.1.1 I added that after line 368 $global_meta['blogid'] = $org_blog_id = $wpdb->blogid; // org_blog_id

Thanks for your input
