[Xerte] Re: WordPress Plugin "Loading XML..." Message

[Pat Lockley]

Hello,

Lincoln Uni asked about making it multisite but the path code is
really complicated and adding in "i am a multisite" to the scripts
made the logic break. A multisite-special plugin would get round that.
I am in wordpress land tonight fixing another plugin, so i might give
a multisite another try.

Short term 2 options

Install Xerte Online Toolkits - it is mysql and PHP based so works on
the same tech as WordPress

or

build all your XOT LOs on one single install and then use iframes to
post them elsewhere - the shortcodes won't work though if you use them
(on the basis the shortcode is an id number, not a url [have
forgotten]).
