[Plugin: Diamond MultiSite Widgets] Shortcode Bloglist works fine but Post & Comments Broken

Ok I think i might have found something.

I had to exclude the home blog (id = 1) from the shortcode lists because it is merely a place holder and doesn’t have any posts or comments. It seems to have been causing a problem.

The code I used for all three are:

Bloglist:
<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[diamond-post format=”{title}
{excerpt}
{author}, {date}” exclude=”1″ count=”10″]’); ?>

Posts:
<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[diamond-bloglist format=”{title}” count=”100″ exclude=”1″ order_by=”1″ order=”0″]’); ?>

Comments:
<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[diamond-comment format=”{title}” exclude=”1″ count=”25″]’); ?>

All now work fine.

Hope this helps some people.

Hi

Sorry if this is a little dumb, but very new to WordPress. I want to add this to the page that is my multisite homepage.

The root has no posts as each project has a site below that I want to list. I’ve added this to the HTML in the page:

<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[diamond-bloglist format=”{title} – {description}” /]’); ?>

It works for below the list it also shows ‘); ?> what am I doing wrong, do I need to close or escape the code?

thanks

Ian
