July 16, 2008 From the forums, WPMU 2.6 (I still can’t get used to it having a 2) RC 1 is out and available here.
It’s got a stack of elements that you’ll need to take into consideration for an upgrade, not least:
5. Custom first posts didn’t always work. Now they do.
Yay :)
10. The signup page uses “blogname” instead of “blog_id” to avoid confusion with the global variable of the same name. Plugins will break if not updated!
Yikes!
And of course, the cookie issue (yep, we’re hanging on this final release to clear this up for Edublogs Campus users).
So… the big question is… will there be a final release by Sunday night PST? As that’s our scheduled ‘upgrade window’!

Hi, I am an owner of private.lt. And as u can see, during registration u can choose from few subdomains. I found this easy to implement, so I’m intrested when this will be implemented in official release. So I will not need to upgrade my code after every new release :-)
Nice… and good question! Are you using a particular plugin or a custom solution that you have developed?
That’s custom solution. I developed it after I find out that almost everything is prepared for this. As there is table “wp_site”. And table “wp_blogs” is with fields “site_id”. So I just joined these things.
For domains administration I’am using “MU Multi-Site” plugin.
http://private.lt/demo.jpg
Basicly only small modifications is needed:
Additional function in my wpmu-functions.php:
function get_sites ($site_id = NULL) {
global $wpdb;
if (!$site_id):
return $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT * FROM $wpdb->site WHERE public = ’1′”, ARRAY_A);
else:
return $wpdb->get_row(“SELECT * FROM $wpdb->site WHERE id = $site_id”, ARRAY_A);
endif;
}
wp-signup.php:
print ‘.’;
foreach(get_sites() as $site):
print ”.$site['domain'].”;
endforeach;
print ”;
Hmm, maybe thats all..? I’m not sure :-)
sorry, some code was trimed.
Very nice! If you;d like to write up a bit about the site here you;re more than welcome: http://wpmu.org/contribute/
Yes, I can write a bit more ’bout this.
