Multisite Post Reader

Use the [mpr_display] shortcode to display all subsite posts on a post/page.

Just place the [mpr_display] shortcode on a post/page.

Yes. Although you might want to limit the number of words and posts displayed, so you don't have a giant widget area. (See below and the Settings/Info screen for parameters info.)

Each post title and date/time are shown, plus the post content. No CSS is used, so it will use your theme's post/page style. Look at the screenshot for an example.

Yes. We don't use any CSS (other than some bolding). Your theme gets to do all of the CSS stuff. Version 2.30 added CSS classes to all displayed post elements, so you can add CSS as needed. See changelog for CSS names.

Nope. The 'Info/Usage' (Settings) screen just contains information on the plugin, and the available parameters (word count, post count, last x days, showing all posts, etc.).

This is a list of available optional parameters. Note the default values if the parameter is not used. All available parameters are shown on the Settings/Info page. Note that some parameters do not need a value, if specified, the value is 'true' or enabled. * items=x show last x items (default = all items) * days=x show last x days (default = all days) * datebefore=YYYYMMDD show only items before the date (note required format of date value). Overridden by the 'days' parameter. * dateafter=YYYYMMDD show only items after the dsate (note required format of date value). Overridden by the 'days' parameter. * nodate=yes don't show the date stamp (default = no)) * words=x show the post extract: the 'manual' extract you entered in the post, or the automatic extract. (default = all post content) * extract show the post extract: the 'manual' extract you entered in the post, or the automatic extract. (default = all post content) * showall show all posts (drafts, published) (default = only published) * showsiteinfo do not show subsite info (only post) (default = yes) * disableheading=yes do not show selection heading (default = no) * showempty do not show subsites with no results (default = yes). Note: will also suppress subsite info for a subsite without results. * showdivider do not show horizontal rule between posts (default = yes) * includesites=1,3,5 only include the indicated site id numbers (default = all subsites). The list of subsites to include must be separated by commas. * excludesites=1,3,5 only exclude the indicated site id numbers (default = all subsites). The list of subsites to exclude must be separated by commas. Note: you can use the includesites and excludesites together; the includesites list is processed first, then the sites in the excludesites list are removed. * debug Shows the SQL query used, and the number of records found by the query. Normally for development only. * showsql Shows the SQL statement used to get the data. Normally for development only. * category='one, two, three' only include categories 'one', 'two', and 'three'. These are category names, not IDs, and are separated by commas and all categories are enclosed with quotes. * type='x,y,z' specify post type (separated by comma) (default = all published posts) * tag='x,y,z' specify tag names (separated by comma) (default = all) The available parameters are also shown on the Settings screen. We don't recommend using the includesites and excludesites parameter at the same time; weird things happen.

Here's an example: [mpr_display items=4 days=45 showall ] This will show only the last 4 items (newest are always first) of entries from the last 45 days. If there are more than 4 items in the last 45 days, only 4 are shown. It will also show all items: draft, published, etc. You may want to limit the public use of the 'showall' parameter, so your non-published items will not be shown.

Yes. Just use a shortcode similar to [mpr_display days=6 items=10]. These options will be shown above the posts: 'Showing last 6 days, last 10 posts. See the plugin's Info/Usage page in the Admin Settings menu for all the available parameters.

Version 1.20 adds a < div class="mpr_content"> around each extracted posts' content, including title, date, and content. You can add your own CSS for that class to style the output content. Version 2.30 adds a 'class' to all output elements. The settings screen details the class names used. No CSS is supplied for the classes; you can supply your own via theme Customization, Additional CSS.
