List of all blogs on the main site

https://thejudens.com/eric/2009/08/wordpress-mu-list-blogs/

Another option, if you’d prefer not to work with code, is: https://www.yann.com/en/wp-plugins/yd-wpmu-bloglist-widget

.. tho that widget does have issues if you have a fair number of blogs. on really small sites it’s fine though.

I’m fairly competent with code so I’m going to use get_blog_details();
Thought there must be a function for it but I just couldn’t find it!

Is there any way to store/retrieve other information about the sites? It’d be great to be able to output a description for each site.

Thanks!

It’d be great to be able to output a description for each site.

Where are you saving the description?

Nowhere at the moment. I’m not sure of the best way to do it.

There’s a site description field (same place you enter the site title) and you could use that. Easy as 3.14 ??

Can I call that using get_blog_details();?

It’s not on the codex page (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/WPMU_Functions/get_blog_details)

Here’s my code so far:

<?php
    global $wpdb;
    $query = "SELECT blog_id FROM " . $wpdb->base_prefix . "blogs WHERE spam != '1' AND archived != '1' AND deleted != '1' AND public = '1' AND blog_id != '1' ORDER BY path";

    $blogs = $wpdb->get_results($query);

    foreach($blogs as $blog){
        $blog_details = get_blog_details($blog->blog_id); ?>
        <div class="item">
        	<a href="<?php echo $blog_details->siteurl ?>">
        		<img class="item-img" src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/img/placeholder-item.png" alt="item"/></a>
        	</a>
        	<a href="<?php echo $blog_details->siteurl ?>"><h2><?php echo $blog_details->blogname ?></h2></a>
			<p><?php echo $blog_details->blogdescription ?></p>
			<p><a href="<?php echo $blog_details->siteurl ?>">Check out their site &raquo;</a></p>
        </div>
   <?php } ?>

It’s not MultiSite Specific and, looking that page, no, it wouldn’t work that way. You may have to use a switch_to_blog call…

Quick check:
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/WPMU_Functions/get_bloginfo and https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/bloginfo are what you want.

How would I integrate switch_to_blog(); into my current code to display the description?

<?php echo get_blog_option($blog->blog_id, 'blogdescription'); ?>

Oooh, that’s cool, David!

And all kinds of other blog options. ??

Thanks for your help! That’s awesome.
