This plugin allows a site admin to create & manage a list of blog topics. When new blogs are created, the blog owner will need to pick a topic for the blog, which can be changed via the blog owner via an admin screen. Code includes a widget to display the current blog’s topic, and an optional linked list of “n” blogs within the site that share the same topic. Additional code is included to display a linked list of all used topics, and all blogs by topic id.
Code available here.
Thanks for the submission Deanna :)
A WPMU admin’s dream…thanks Deanna!
I’m a bit confused. Is this something like a Blog Category?
Boonika – yes, it’s sort of like a Blog category. It’s a category (I used the term “topic” so as to not confuse it with post categories) that’s relevant to the blog itself, instead of to a post or page.
Wow! Thank’s alot DeannaS :D
Cool! Will try it out.
It’s me again:)
Thank You SO MUCH for this plugin. That’s all.
thx .. great plugin .. but how can i add a tag clud or a list of all avaliable topics(linked to a list of each topic blogs
MazZzika – There’s code in the additional files – front-page.php has code that will pull a linked list of all the available topics, and when you click on one of those, it’ll take you to blogtopics.php, which is a list of all blogs by a certain topic.
The widget will also display the topic of the current blog, and a linked list of other blogs identified by the same topic.
I’m currently working on an additional widget that displays a list of recent posts from blogs with the same topic and/or code that could be used in a custom page to display all the topics with their recent posts.
i try to view front-page .. it give me this error
Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /*****/wp-content/themes/themefoldername/front_page.php on line 7
and it will be great if u make anywhere(including widgets) topics titles linked to all blogs in this topic
I am just wondering if I can exclude the main blog somehow as I don’t want the main blog included in any topics as that seems the logical thing to me.
What is your opinion?
is’nt use on blogspot?

This will definately help keep track of things. I’ve started a MU site on a whim and have found administration can be a bit overwelming at first. Thanks for the plugin,

Hi. I on numerous occasions scan this forum. This is the oldest culture unequivocal to ask a query.
How multitudinous in this forum are references progressive behind, knavish users?
Can I bank all the advice that there is?
Excellent! I’m going to try it out.
Thanks.
I am trying to figure out the best Wordpress Plugins and widgets that will help to optimize a site for Google. If you have any good ones that you recommend, I’d love to know about them.
This is an interesting plugin. I will try it on my site.
I still dont quite get the difference between Topic and Category but I’ll give it a test run, I’m sure I just have to see it to understand it.
It is really a great plugin and script. The blog topics categorization is very important.
This is too awesome, I need to get on this for my wordpress sites!
Wow, that’s totally cool. I too want to get one for my blogs. thanks for sharing Deanna.cheers
I heard that a lot of MU plugins are unstable at times due to the nature of the software, any issues with this one?
This is fantastic.
