Downloading: summary.txt summary.php

`summary.php` is an example of how to display the latest 3 posts from every blog on a single summary page. Summary.php is especially interesting for people with multiple (more than 2) blogs or for use as an overview page for a group.

`summary.php` is no longer distributed with b2evolution v6+ but you can download it from this page. Just change the extension from `.txt` to `.php` and place the file in your b2evolution base folder.

If you want the capabilities of `summary.php` customized to your own site, you can insert the PHP code into your own layout.

What is the code you need in that page?

 <?php
 /**
 * Check this: we are requiring _main.inc.php INSTEAD of _blog_main.inc.php because we are not
 * trying to initialize any particular blog
 */
 require(dirname(__FILE__).'/evocore/_main.inc.php');
 ?>

and on the place where you want the summary of the posts :

 <?php 
  for( $blog=blog_list_start('stub'); $blog!=false; $blog=blog_list_next('stub') )
  { # by uncommenting the following lines you can hide some blogs
        // if( $blog == 1 ) continue; // Hide blog 1...
        // if( $blog == 2 ) continue; // Hide blog 2...
        // if( $blog == 3 ) continue; // Hide blog 3...
        // if( $blog == 4 ) continue; // Hide blog 4...
  ?>

  <h3><a href="<?php blog_list_iteminfo('blogurl', 'raw' ) ?>" title="<?php blog_list_iteminfo  ( 'shortdesc', 'htmlattr'); ?>"><?php blog_list_iteminfo( 'name', 'htmlbody'); ?></a></h3>
	<ul>
 	 <?php	// Get the 3 last posts for each blog:
	$BlogBList = & new ItemList( $blog,  '', '', '', '', '', array(), '', 'DESC', '', 3, '', '', '', '', '', '', '', 'posts' );
	 while( $Item = $BlogBList->get_item() )
	 { ?>
	   <li>	   
	   <a href="<?php $Item->permalink() ?>" title="<?php echo T_('Permanent link to full entry') ?>"><?php $Item->title( '', '', false ); ?></a>(<?php $Item->issue_date() ?>)
	   </li>
	 <?php } ?>
	   <li><a href="<?php blog_list_iteminfo('blogurl', 'raw' ) ?>"><?php echo T_('More posts...') ?></a></li>
	</ul>
 <?php
  }  ?>
