MSM-ifying and extension (mh_file_ext)
Development and Programming
about 17 years ago
Hi All,
I’m looking for some pointers regarding making an extension (in specific; Mark Huot’s File Extension but I’ve made use of a few of Mark’s extensions that will also require updating) Multi-site-manager compatible.
I’ve done a lot of searching but found very little on the topic. Might I also add that I am very new to EE, currently carrying out my first build.
Basically what I have is four sites, each with an “event” weblog and “Event-image” custom field (mh_file_ext) respectively.
What I need to be able to do is pull “events” from each site.
e.g:
{exp:weblog:entries site="default_site|Coliseum" weblog="Event" show_expired="false" status="Featured|open" show_future_entries="yes" orderby="date" dynamic="off" limit="4"}
{Event-image}
{/exp:weblog:entries}However; currently the mh_file_ext only supports one site, the latest one, as described in this post.
I figured it was straight forward; Get the list of site ids required (n.b. $TMPL->site_ids) and either:
- Adopt Paul Bell’s fix with the simple addition of iterating through the site id’s.

- or simply split the site_ids array and append to the SQL query. (n.b. I have simplified the code by hard-coding the SQL query)

n.b.
$SESS->cache['mh_file_ext_fields'] = $DB->query('SELECT * FROM exp_weblog_fields f, exp_upload_prefs p WHERE f.field_type="file" AND p.id=f.field_list_items AND (f.site_id=1 OR f.site_id=14)');But, both only populate the template with one of the “sites” file custom field data.
If any one could shed a little light on the situation I’d be greatly appreciate it. I’m literally banging my head against a brick wall (with an impending deadline looming overhead!).
Thanks in advance.

p.s. can any one advise a better way to provide code examples (other than splitting posts). I tried to attach .php files but got denied. I then renamed .php to .txt and got told I had invalid content for the MIME type (text?).

FYI I’ve now had to abandon using Mark Huots file extension. I’ve wasted too much time already. Hopefully if I get a chance to revisit it in the future once my understanding of the EE framework is better.
If any one could point me in the direction of an EE extension HOWTO/tutorial I’d be most greatful. There is very little information available online.

I’m interested in this too. I’m surprised more people aren’t.

Hey guys.
Check out some of my most recent released extensions, they are all MSM compatible.
The first thing you have to remember is to store all the settings a little differently. The only way to do this is a custom settings form.
I’ll try and write a tutorial when our new site goes live. In the meantime check out the source code.
Cheers
