Future feature: Switch to blog

    I like the plugin a lot and use it in a WP multisite. If I was able to switch to another blog, I could query another blog’s database for posts.
    In a wp query this would only need switch_to_blog(23); to switch to blog with ID 23. At the end restore_current_blog(); is needed to switch back to the original blog. If the plugin could do this with [switch blog=”23″] and [restore] that would be great.
    In that case the queried blogpost are on another blog and the possibility should be there to choose the target of a link. [field title-link target="_blank"] for example.
    Maybe something to consider…

    Actually global $switched; switch_to_blog(23); instead of just switch_to_blog(23);

    Thanks for the suggestion – actually this feature existed in [loop] but I hadn’t put it in the documentation. It can be used like this:

    [loop type="post" blog="23"]...[/loop]

    To be honest, I haven’t tested it, so that’s why it wasn’t in the doc. Could you tell me if it works?! ??

    For the second point, this is available as:

    [field title-link-out]

    It also wasn’t documented, so I updated it.
