shelob9/jp-multisite-list

WordPress plugin that creates lists of things in a multisite network, like blogs, posts, pages etc. Uses transient cache to speed up list display.

jp-multisite-list

Adds the ability to load all post or all pages from all network sites. Uses transient cache to save results in order to avoid having to recalculate on each page load, which could be a very resource intensive process on a large site.

This plugin is under development. See known limitations/issues below before using.

Use

• List Posts In your theme use:

<?php if ( function_exists( 'jp_msl_posts') : jp_msl_posts(); endif; ?>

• Documentation

Current Known Limitations and Issues

• No automatic reset.

  Once list is created it has to be manually deleted from the transient cache.

• Deprecated function/ Beta Function

  To get the list of blogs wp_get_sites() a new function added in 3.7 beta 1 is used.

  Backwards compatibility is offered via the deprecated and not so good function get_blog_list. I will probably get rid of this backwards compatibility once 3.7 is released.

Better handing of the deprecated future function?

Loose pre 3.7 compatibility?

or:

Create copy of of wp_get_sites() and use until 3.7 exists, maybe keep for backwards compatibility.
