Show Site Title in Recent Global Posts

Is there a way to easily display the Site Name of where the Post is coming from? Or does it require editing the plugin's files?

Run a multi site network with many academic departments, so want to display which dept is posting the particular blog entry.

Thanks!

Hi @ksascomm,

Hope you're well?

This would require a custom function.

I'm not sure exactly how to achieve this, but we could possible use the title filter for this.

I haven't tested this, but hopefully it should work.
```
function wpmudev_network_title_and_blog_title( $blog_id = 0, $id = 0 ) {

	$network_post = &network_get_post( $blog_id, $id );

        switch_to_blog($blog_id);
        $blog_title = get_bloginfo( 'name' );
        restore_current_blog();

	$title = isset($network_post->post_title) ? $blog_title . ' > ' . $network_post->post_title : '';
	$id = isset($network_post->ID) ? $network_post->ID : (int) $id;

	return $title;
}
add_filter('network_the_title', 'wpmudev_network_title_and_blog_title', 10, 2);
```
Hope this helps

  Thanks Vaughn!
  
  I added that to my theme's functions.php file, and when calling the shortcode in the specific template file <?php echo do_shortcode('[globalrecentposts]'); ?>, the text disappears.
  
  Inspecting element shows the hyperlinks there, but any text inside the ahref is gone...

Hi ksascomm

I hope you had a wonderful day.

Would you mind allowing support access so we can have a closer look at this?
To enable support access you can follow this guide here:
https://premium.wpmudev.org/manuals/wpmu-dev-dashboard-enabling-staff-login/

Have a nice day. Cheers!

I've granted support access; however I'm testing all this on a local machine. Is that going to be a problem? Do I need to do this on production?

Thanks!

Hi,

I have flagged one of our SLS guys, to see what he can come up with, i'm almost sure I used the correct filter, but my implementation of it might be incorrect, so hopefully the developer will be able to come up with a fixed solution quickly for you.

Hope this helps

  Hi there,

Hi,

I've just asked the developer again for you, he has been really busy fixing some bugs in other plugins, so this may have escaped him. Hopefully he should respond shortly.

Thanks

Hi,

apologies for the delay on this, I have just flagged the developer again for you, he's been extremely busy lately fixing bugs in other plugins and other things. But he should respond shortly. I've sent him a message too, so he will see it once he logs in next.

Apologies for the inconvenience & appreciate your patience.

Thanks

I'm looking for the same solution. Would also love to add some other meta data as well.(author, blog/site title, etc)

Thanks!

Hello Jeffreyeric,

We are still waiting for the solution from Second Line Support - I'm sure if we get working code snippet it will be easier from there to modify it.
I'm sorry for the delay.

kind regards,
Kasia

So I actually very recently discovered a solution in this thread: https://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/is-there-an-argument-for-the-shortcake-to-show-the-blog-name

Particularly the file in this reply worked like a gem.
