WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE

i just have read this Create_A_Network and astonish how the new wordpress 3.0 will become. Maybe it’s a good thing to integrate wordpress MU (WPMU) capability into wordpress single user. Especially, according, something some past article i had read, theirs only one automatic developer who maintain wpmu code. And he do it all the dirty work in his spare time.

WPMU is great platform. I believe this particular WP has the killer feature of a publishing tool. But i don’t know what is the basic reason, automatic make this decision. After buddypress project also has similar fate, i really don’t like WPMU become a subset of WP or something like that.

By the way, WP_ALLOW_MULTISIDE is a define constant that we have to declare on our wp-config.php. This constant will make the installation has the ability to make network of blogs. You can read it more on the above reference link

Confused by Wordpress Category

I have problem when i have to create some custom solution. What i need to accomplish is some simple feature where every time user delete a category from administrator panel, then every posts (and all its meta field) and child category also get delete.

Right now in wordpress, (i believe its 2.9.2 version), every time a category get deleted then its ID get erase. But its child category and its post will not. The child and the post only got their terms and depth level changes. So how to accomplish this ?

my mood when all this start : Hmm. freaky ;)

My mood after an hour : Wow, it’s not a piece of pie. how come ?

My mood now : WTF!

I have try to hook something like ‘delete_category’ (subset of ‘delete_$taxonomy’), and ‘delete_term’. But what i have just the id of the category which has enter the death zone (which mean you can have it as return value but not as param to retrieve its previous child category and posts ).

Hmm am i go to the wrong direction ? sure, administrator panel is not a place where all good come good. But, i try to find it rather then create some custom category panel. hmm i think i will go to find some help. I have create one in wordpress support

$wp_version and $table_prefix, or what ?

Right now, i have to code something that work both for wp and wpmu. I think this global variable, $wp_version, is the best way to check the version of wordpress. So your code will start to work on the right version. But what happen if you want to check the type of wordpress. is it wp ? or is it wpmu ? Both of them has similarity, but they also has big difference for example wpmu database table is different with ordinary wordpress.

Right now, i use another wordpress global variable : $table_prefix. this variable consist the prefix of the database table. I use them to create some simple feature for client. So, that’s the best think i can think of when try to separate the type of wordpress.

ah, hopefully, i’m able to find another way to achieve similar solution on this particular situation. More over, i hope the solution has the opportunity to work on any future wordpress release.
