please more love for multisite

[sc0ttkclark]

It would be my pleasure, can't wait to get to these

[emilesilvis]

Eagerly waiting for this as well :)

[haroldkyle]

This would be very helpful, keep us posted!

[emilesilvis]

We ended up working around this by writing a function that simply duplicates data between sites. This feature out of the box would be awesome yes :)

[sc0ttkclark]

Only way to do this would be to either create a network set of WP content tables at wp_podsnet_posts etc or to specify a single site as a master site for the content / pods to pull from

[sc0ttkclark]

I've been thinking about this one a bit, as part of #48 we can move forward on this for Advanced Content Types only, I don't want to encroach on WP core and all the issues that a completely custom database tableset at the network level would cause for every developer.

any eta on this one?

[sc0ttkclark]

Sorry, no ETA yet, but things related to #1880 could make this happen much, much quicker.

We'd just love to have Pods for multi sites.

[benrudolph]

Any workarounds for this?

@emilesilvis how is the duplication of the data going? is there anywhere i could take a look at it?

[emilesilvis]

@benrudolph the code is unfortunately not available anywhere, but IIRC it was a plugin that used the Pods API to keep the stuff in sync.

[sc0ttkclark]

The jury is out on whether we can do something in time for Pods 3.0 to have network-wide Pods or not, it may have to wait until 3.1 or 3.2. Most concerns are whether the Settings table (wp_options) is suitable enough for our purposes, and whether it can be easily filtered for our purposes at the API level (pull all post types, pull all taxonomies, etc). More details here: #1880 #1881 #48

I need multisite pods. I created an extensive slider with lots of coding and it's a real bummer to have to replicate it all. Any idea when / if this is coming our way ?

Thanks.

This won't make it into Pods 3.0, but it's still on our priorities for a future release

[sineplay]

Just another fan of Pods looking for the ability to share pods across a multisite network. I'm looking to have a staff database on our site and be able to pull fields on any site throughout the network. Thanks for considering this feature!

Just wanted to say, for anyone that doesn't know, this functionality (shared content / data) can be achieved, or partially achieved, using the switch_to_blog() function. Here is a quick example:

<?php // Get Locations global $switched; // Switch to main site switch_to_blog( 1 ); $params = [ 'limit' => -1, ]; $obj = pods( 'locations', $params ); $locations = []; while ( $obj->fetch() ) { $locations[ $obj->field( 'ID' ) ] = $obj->field( 'post_title' ); } // Switch back to the current site restore_current_blog(); print_r( $locations );

Maybe it will help someone.
