i tried to implement a sideblog into my sidebar. i made it by using this code


	<?php
		// Dirty trick until we get everything into objects:
		$saved_blog = $blog;  
		$blog = 5;		// Blogroll now
	?>
		<h3><a href="<?php bloginfo('blogurl', 'raw') ?>"><?php echo bloginfo( 'name', 'html' ) ?></a></h3>
	<?php
		$BlogRollList = new ItemList( $blog,  $show_statuses, '', $m, $w, '', array(), $author, $order, $orderby, $posts, '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '15', 'posts', $timestamp_min, $timestamp_max );
		
		while( $BlogRollList->get_item() )
		{
?>
		<div class="bPostSide" lang="<?php the_lang() ?>">
			<?php permalink_anchor(); ?>
	
			<div class="bText">
				<?php the_content( '#', 0, '', '#', '', '', 'htmlbody', 0, 0, 1, 1);?>(<?php the_time( 'd.m.y' );?>)
			</div>
		</div>
		<?php
		}
		
		// Restore after dirty trick:
		$blog = $saved_blog;		
	?>

the only problem i have:

actually the items are listed as

content of item 1 (date 1)
content of item 2 (date 1)
content of item 3 (date 2)
content of iitem 4 (date 3)
...

but i would prefer

date 1
content of item 1
content of item 2

date 2
content of item 3

date 3
content of item 4
...

i don't know how to do this with get->item()
any hints?

Try this:

   <?php
      // Dirty trick until we get everything into objects:
      $saved_blog = $blog; 
      $blog = 5;      // Blogroll now
   ?>
      <h3><a href="<?php bloginfo('blogurl', 'raw') ?>"><?php echo bloginfo( 'name', 'html' ) ?></a></h3>
   <?php
      $BlogRollList = new ItemList( $blog,  $show_statuses, '', $m, $w, '', array(), $author, $order, $orderby, $posts, '', '', '', '', '', '', '', '15', 'posts', $timestamp_min, $timestamp_max );
      
      while( $BlogRollList->get_item() )
      {
?>
      <div class="bPostSide" lang="<?php the_lang() ?>">
         <?php permalink_anchor(); ?>
   
         <div class="bText">
             <?php the_date() ?>
            <?php the_content( '#', 0, '', '#', '', '', 'htmlbody', 0, 0, 1, 1);?>
         </div>
      </div>
      <?php
      }
      
      // Restore after dirty trick:
      $blog = $saved_blog;      
   ?>

Does that work the way you want it to? :-/

many many thanks. it works and it rocks :-)

but i understand, why it works. it seems you only moved the

<?php the_date() ?> 

or am i missing something?

The function the_date() is written so that with several posts of the same date, the date will only be displayed once. the_time(), however, is always displayed. And setting the attribute for the the_time() function as "d.m.Y" makes it output the date after every single post, which is what you wanted to avoid. :)

I tried including that code in my sidebar and I got this:

Output format [html] not supported.

Any ideas?

Because that was written a year ago and for an old version. You will need to use the updated tags. Look at multiblogs.php

Anyone prepared to give up the updated code for a b2evo user too lazy to dig through updatelogs?

Like I said, look at multiblogs.php. It's pretty obvious which tags should be replaced with which.

Obvious to some perhaps...

Anyway, I figure the easiest way of doing this is to use multiblogs.php . How do I set multiblogs to be the default page on the site?

make for all your blogs stubfiles.
Look that none of the blogs are like 'default weblog on index.php'
and that none are : 'other weblog trough index.php'
so : none of your blogs is using index.php

than
rename index.php to indexold.php (you will never know when you want it back)
rename multiblogs.php to index.php

Thanks Topanga. I did try and figure out how to create a date-ordered sidelog by nicking code from the multiblogs file in the end and what do you know: it worked. It doesn't look great yet, but at least I've got an alphabetical linkblog and a date-ordered sidelog on the right-hand side of the page now :D
