Vote2Publish
Wordpress MU Plugin: Adds a box in every post of every blog in the community. The post with a certains number of votes is republished into the “main blog”
Vote2Publish is a wpMU plugin wich allows you to define a “main blog”, and then displays a vote box in every post of every other blog in the community.
When a post gets a certain number of votes it is automatically republished in the “main blog”, preserving the original author and adding a note on the top of it with a link to where it was originally posted.
*Each blog owner can customize the vote box to match to his/her theme.. or even choose not to display it.
*Ajax powered.
*Localization ready
*Comes with pt_BR translation
Note: Requires wp-xajax plugin.
== Installation ==
0. Install wp-xajax plugin
1. Copy the files to your root mu-plugins folder, so you have a tree like:
…/wp-content/mu-plugins/vote_republish.php
…/wp-content/mu-plugins/vote2publish/bg-1.gif
…/wp-content/mu-plugins/vote2publish/…all the other files
Usage
Go to Site Admin > Vote 2 Republish
. check the box to activate the plugin
. Define the “main blog”, wich is the blog the posts should be republished to
. Set the number of votes a post must get to be republished
Now, whenever a user is logged in and visiting the blogs from the community, he/she will see a box for every post where they can vote. The vote count is updated right away.
Important: The blog owners may go to Design > Vote Box layout and change wether they want to have this on their blogs or not. They also can change the colour and the aligmenr of the box. (They have to do this at least once so the default values for the box layout is loaded)

This plugin is great!
One question - I’ve tried to hack it to make the vote box only appear to users with certain roles (using current_user_can) but I havn’t managed to get it to work. Any ideas?

Hi there, im constantly getting a problem when using your plugins: Vote2Publish & One Click Republish, the problem is the following, when i press the button to republish the post of post gets enough votes to get republished, the following error appears:
No XML response was returned blah blah blah
AND most importantly the BLOG stops working! when you try to get to that blog, the browser constantly redirects to somewhere and stops!
looks like the plugins are not compatible with sitewide_tags from wpmu premium
hi andrew,
did you deactivate sitewide_tags and then vote2publish worked?
[…] WPMU 互換プラグイン一等賞は Vote2Publish […]
yeah, im now trying to figure out how to integrate them together…
solved it
had to add a line in sitewidetags plugin - if blog_id = mainblog (mainblog - blog where vote2republish republishes posts) return;
Hi Andrew,
Im glad you made it and is still using vote2publish!
If you find anything that could prevent this kind of conflict please tell me and we can fix it.
Any other suggestions/help are welcome
cheers

Hi leogermani,
I resolved all the issues, however, wanted to ask you if there is any way to strip Vote 2 publish from X-ajax as it seems to slow down the server actually. im wondering if the plugin would work without it?
Hi,
After installation, nothing is showing up below the design tab
is there a way to make categories correlate with one another?
is there a way to make the vote buttons visible to non-registered?
hi chris,
No. the plugin was designed to allow only registered users to vote. To let unregistered people to vote is on the roadmap…
Leo,,
thanks for the plugin
I am having issues with the wp-xajax plugin for Wordpress MU. I am trying to install and use the “Repost” plugin and I realize it requires the wp-xajax plugin but it is failing to activate. Here is the error I am receiving:
Warning: require_once(C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress-mu-2.7\wordpress-mu/wp-content/docs\wordpress-mu-2.7\wordpress-mu\wp-content\mu-plugins\wp-xajax/xajax.inc.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress-mu-2.7\wordpress-mu\wp-content\mu-plugins\wp-xajax.php on line 19
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress-mu-2.7\wordpress-mu/wp-content/docs\wordpress-mu-2.7\wordpress-mu\wp-content\mu-plugins\wp-xajax/xajax.inc.php’ (include_path=’.;C:\xampp\php\pear\’) in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress-mu-2.7\wordpress-mu\wp-content\mu-plugins\wp-xajax.php on line 19
Does it have something to do with the way the Absolute Path is being generated?
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Brandon R.
hi Brandon,
yes. apparently its a problem with slahes.. I never tried this plugin on a windows server. It should be really easy to fix though. If you know php I can give you a hand.. contact me via email at leogermani at gmail dot com

Hi,
When I install 1 Click Republish on any version of WordPress MU (I’ve tried 2.7, 2.6 and 1.5.1), the admin screen doesn’t display anything in the drop-down list under “Please indicate in wich blog the posts should be republished.” The list is just blank. Here are a couple of screenshots:
screenshot1.png
screenshot2.png
wp-xajax is installed, and I’ve got more than one blog on each WPMU install, so I have no idea why the list is empty. Any ideas? You can email me at irishtrojan [at] gmail.com.
hi Brendan,
try this:
on 1click_republish.php - line 95 where you read
$blogs = get_site_option( “blog_list” );
replace it with
$blogs = get_blog_list();
Once you run this command the get_option(’blog_list’) starts working. Since I allways used this plugin together with vote2publish I never realized this issue…
let me know what you think of these plugins.
cheers
Leo,,
