OK, I'm an idiot. Can you explain "customize" to someone who is off coffee yet again? I know when I'm logged in as the site admin, I see an edit link there fine.
Besides, we haven't picked on Doc in a while. He needs a little harassment every now and then. Best time is when he's on the no coffee kick, too. he he he
The primary feed is the feed coming from SiteFeed plugin and the other is the default WPMU blog feed.
When I go to the dashboard, the two feeds are not those above. It doesn't work, WPMU displays the 2 default feeds ("Wordpress Developpement blog" and "Other Wordpress News").
I took a look in my httpd error_log but see nothing. I use WPMU 1.5.1 and PHP 4.4.6.
It has to do with how the core operates, and its something that was essentially brushed off when it was brought up on trac recently.
I don't recall the ticket specifically, but it was kicked back with an answer of a "use a ton more code so the core doesn't have to be touched" nature.
Something about unregistering current dashboard widgets and replacing them with (essentially) the same thing.

Pretty much. We ran into the issue when 1.5 was installed over on our end. Within each blog's option table, the defaults are saved so if you make changes to the code, it still won't show up on the subblogs.
Took me about two hours on that one since I wasn't expecting it.

Hiya,
That's not really something covered by this plugin. So instead of resurrecting a 3 month old thread, it would have been better to start a new one in the "Advanced WordPress MU Discussion" forum :)

Hello
This plugin is a great idea.
I installed it in wp-content/mu-plugins and customized its top lines this way :
$primary_feed_url = 'http://mywebsite.com/feed/';
$primary_feed_link = 'http://mywebsite.com/';
$primary_feed_title = 'Des nouvelles de mywebsite.com';
$primary_feed_description = 'Quoi de neuf sur mywebsite ? Voici toutes les nouvelles.';
$secondary_feed_url = 'http://www.mywebsite.com/blogs-feed/';
$secondary_feed_link = 'http://mywebsite.com/';
$secondary_feed_title = 'Derniers articles publiés par les blogs';
$secondary_feed_description = 'Voici les tous derniers articles publiés sur les blogs de mywebsite. Bonne lecture !';
The primary feed is the feed coming from SiteFeed plugin and the other is the default WPMU blog feed.
When I go to the dashboard, the two feeds are not those above. It doesn't work, WPMU displays the 2 default feeds ("Wordpress Developpement blog" and "Other Wordpress News").
I took a look in my httpd error_log but see nothing. I use WPMU 1.5.1 and PHP 4.4.6.
Do you have an idea on how to solve this issue ?
Thanks a lot.
Gautier.

With 1.5.1, once the default feeds are set then they're set.
If you make a new blog, you'll see the changes.

Okay, I didn't know that. Thanks Luke.

So, what can we do for already registered blogs ?
Erstwhile founder — 24th August 2008 (3 years ago) #
For existing blogs you have to either change the feeds in the db or clear the dahsboard dashboard feeds data in the db.
Thanks,
Andrew

Can you provide some details as to where in the db should this be configured?
Erstwhile founder — 18th September 2008 (3 years ago) #
I'm ninety percent sure that data is saved in the blog options tables.
Thanks,
Andrew

I really don't like the layout of the second feed. How do I get images in there? I'm guessing that's the point of it?
