Hello,
I want to list entries from 2 of my sites in one listing, but I want to ‘label’ them according to which site they belong to. I was hoping to use the {site_short_name} variable for this, but it looks like it only shows which site templates you are looking at, as opposed to which site that particular entry belongs to. Is that correct? I’m guessing that this is because it is a global variable (as set in the path.php file).

So is there no (other) way I can get the name of which site an entry belongs to?

Thanks.

Hi Emily,

I’d suggest using the entry_site_id variable, as those are less prone to change. Does that help?

Thank-you so much Brandon, I knew there was something like that out there! I’m thinking this might be quite a useful variable to point out in the Notes on the MSM docs page about site variables http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/cp/sites/code.html (that’s where I’d been looking for it). What do you think?

Emily, have you tried adding to the docs? You should be able to add a comment there.

Haven’t tried yet, but I will do, thanks Sue.

Very good. Just keep us in the loop, please, we’ll be here.
