Feature Request: WordPress MU Support

[anewpress]

Let me cast a vote for FCG to support WordPress MU. The previous version (prior to iePlexus) failed at the "options" screen.

[Kris Themstrup]

Noted. Although we want WPMU support, I can't give a date on it. On the list though.

Hello,
I had a need to get FCG running on WPMU, so I did some digging and found the following post on the WPMU site:

http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=9210

Following the generic directions there, I made a patch for FCG to make it work with WPMU. Although I haven't tested it extensively, the options section does now appear to function correctly in WPMU. The code below is the diff between 3.1.0 downloaded from the Install & Setup section and what I changed to get it to work with WPMU:

I have also added an attachment of the patch if anyone needs it. As I said, I have only done very basic testing on this and verified that settings are saved. I have not tested this completely to see if there are possibly other WPMU-specific bugs that effect the operation of the plugin.

[anewpress]

Thanks! I hope the FCG "powers that be" read your post and integrate the patch in an upcoming version. After using WPMU for months and enjoying the added graphic splash of an image gallery, it would be hard to choose one or the other.

[Kris Themstrup]

The "powers that be" appreciate the patch - we'll take a look and see what we can do for WPMU support. It's definitely on our list. In the meantime, anyone else have success with this?

Hello,

this is my first wp/wpmu setup ever, so please excuse me, when there is something wrong

I changed/added the following in wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/options.php to pass the check_admin_referer/whitelist section in wp-admin/options.php successfully

old:

Code: Select all

   
<form method="post" action="options.php"><?php wp_nonce_field('update-options'); ?>
<fieldset name="general_options" class="options">


new:

Code: Select all

   
<form method="post" action="options.php"><?php wp_nonce_field('options-options'); ?>
<fieldset name="general_options" class="options">
<input type="hidden" name="option_page" value="options" />


Now the settings are stored and displayed correctly. Now I’m to test it working with categories and images ...

Nevermind, I got the dynamic-content-gallery to work! Thanks,

previous post:
Hello, I tried the patch and it makes my entire blog disappear. Can you tell me what code to put into what .php file for FCG to work on WPMU? I have the options set, but I'm getting a blank black framed box at the top of my page where the FCG should be. Am I missing something? Thanks, pretty new to this WPMU stuff. I downloaded 3.2 version of FCG plugin, by-the-way. And I'm using WPMU 2.6.3.

URL is http://assurx.white.navpoint.com/wpmu/

I've tried deactivating the plugins too and all I get is the empty box at the top of the homepage.

i will be very insterested to have an official support for WPMU ! Thx for the good work !

@TimRWC

my fix was made for the "page-not-found-error" when saving the options as admin. It worked for WPMU 2.7+FCG 3.1.0.

But I have experienced, that this would only work for the global administrator, the blog admins get a "Not admin"-warning when saving the options. (But this was no problem for my recent project, so I didn’t go after it)

I've posted the fix as a hint to set focus at the basic cause of the this save-problem (-> in the plugin management of wpmu.) Sorry, I can’t giv any further support.

Just wanted to post and say thanks for the hack for WPMU. You saved my bacon with that one.
