I installed wp-hive installed, after discovering the Wordpress 3.0 multi-site network has a majo problem in that it will not allow anyone but the super admin from adding video embed code to a post. The code is stripped, and efforts to modify user capabilities via User Role Editor plugin are futile. Sinec I am administering a video sharing site, Wordpress 3.0 networking had to go.
So I've installed wp-hive and installed a second site on a sub-domain where I have installed BuddyPress.
Now I want to sync users. I see that this was comparatively easy for separate installation, at least in WP2.9. See Justin Tadlock http://justintadlock.com/archives/2008/09/20/installing-two-wordpress-blogs-with-the-same-users .
But Justin Tadlock's simple method wont work with wp-hive because there is no separate wp-config.php file for the second blog for me to edit.
Might it be possible to modify the wp-hive code to effectively do what Justin Tadlock's additional code does when iserted in config.php for the second blog?
Here it is:
Blog B’s table prefix should be different. We’ll change it to something like this in Blog B’s wp-config.php file:
$table_prefix = 'blogb_';
In the same file, find this line:
/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
Just above it, add:
define('CUSTOM_USER_TABLE', 'wp_users');
define('CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE', 'wp_usermeta');
I am not a php code writer, and it would take me way too much time to learn enough to figure it out. What I want is to use the user tables from the first installation in ALL wp-hive blogs.
Since I'm still in development and there isn't much on the site, I'd be willing to test out a code modification if someone who does know php can tell me how to go about a modification.
