I am currently using the following code with great success on one URL to manage tags scross multiple blogs:

I am now using Multiple Site Manager and my goal with the sites, was to have them be able to pull similar articles across all of the sister sites.

I tried simply adding: site="default_site"

like this:

but it does not pull tags from the other sites. 

Ideally, I need to have the similar article from another site pulled and simply clicked on to bring you to that site, blog and proper article page.  Ultimately, it would be spectacular to not only have the link but even list the name of the sites the similar articles reside on, like this:

Similar articles across sites:

Site 1:
article 1
article 2

Site 3:
article 1

Site 7:
article 1
article 2
article 3
article 4

Any suggestions on either code would be fantastic!

Hey anyone out there? 

After numerous attempts at nearly everything, and hitting up the EE forums, I tried something crazy, like placing site_id="7".  Interestingly enough, the site=, and the site_id seem to have no consequence on the page at all.  To test this I placed site_id="7", and there are only 2 sites.  The results didn’t change.  It pulls similar tags from only within the site it is being used.

I’m still trying to pull across URL’s using multiple site manager.  Ironically, my entire reason behind going with EE was because I could use Tags and use MSM for this purpose.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

creative coalitions,

Can you see if this works for you:

It works for me - it will load ALL entries across all specified sites in one loop, but when I tried testing with only one site (other than the default_site) it doesn’t load any entries, which is obviously a bug.

Let me know if the above code works for you.... though either way this is a bug.
I will queue it up for the next release

Thanks for catching this!

No, I’ve tried this:

site="deafult_site|site1" with no luck at all.  I’ve tried that on both sites, the original, and the new one.

I have been able to access the other site by placing {exp:weblog} tags surrounding the code above.  Then however, it does screwy things and lists multiple instances of the same related articles.

OK so the next question, how often do you do releases for items such as this.  This was my entire reason for buying Solspace and even Expression Engine.

Thanks,
Scott

Scott,

It could be a few weeks…
If you need a refund, please let me know: support AT solspace.com

I apologize for the inconvenience…

Surrounding the Related:Entries loop with the Weblog:Entries loop will definately cause the issue you describe above. There’s no way around that…

So to confirm, this is the code I’m testing with (with an Entry ID in the URL):

Also, where are you running this template through? The regular index.php location, or a “clone” in another directory for a second or third site?
I’m also assuming you’re using Tag 2.1.1 and the latest version of ExpressionEngine?

Yes, that’s the code I’m using.  I don’t need a refund, as it at least works on a per-site basis, just not across sites.

No, I’ve tried this:

site="deafult_site|site1" with no luck at all.

I’m curious if the spelling of ”deafult_site” is a spelling error here, or in your code?

Thanks

sorry, spelling error here.

Scott,

I cannot duplicate your issue “exactly”, but have duplicated it in a sense, so regardless, the issue is not working correctly, and is queued for a fix for the next release of Tag

Thank you for your patience

Thanks for the update.
