Thread

I have a client who has two websites using MSM.

He currently has a separate blog for each site, but now wants to display posts from both blogs on one of the sites.

I understand how to do this in it’s most simple terms, but he also wants to decide which articles to publish on the second site using a radio button.

How would I approach this using the channel entries tag and conditionals?

Hi jonparadise2,

Thank you for your question. This is a good one!

There are several ways you could go about this. You could use conditionals, or segment variables, or search.

I like the idea of using search.

So the idea would be to use something like a radio or a select drop down. I like the select drop down idea, so I will use that. Check out this screen shot http://cl.ly/image/2M0t3C3y1S0e. This gives your user the option to post to Blog A, Blog B, or both.

Then in your channel entries tag use the search:field -

search:blog_selection="BlogA"

That should give you an idea of where to start with this and how you might get creative in implementing it.

You can really creative and use something like the P&T Field Pack to spruce up the selection in the Control Panel.

Let me know what you think!

Cheers,

Thanks for the tips Shane, I’ll give that a go!

Hey jonparadise2,

Awesome! And I give all the credit to DAN DECKER for the brainstorming session.
