get_blogaddress_by_* adds path in multisite. breaks get_home_url etc

[andreasnrb]

The get_blogaddress_by_* functions adds the wp install path to all returned blogaddresses. This breaks for example get_home_url which returns the equivalent of the install path instead.

Need to decide the correct behavior for these methods.

[andreasnrb]

This happens when you have installed wordpress in a subfolder.

[andreasnrb]

get_site_url assumes get_blogaddress_by_id returns siteurl.
What should get_blogaddress_by return? siteurls or homeurls?

I'm not sure, but I don't think MU really supports subdirectory installs. That would explain why it seemingly makes no distinction between home url and site url.

[andreasnrb]

Fixes get_blogaddress_*, adds siteurl,homeurl to currents sites and get_blogs, fixes wrong linkage in my-sites and ms

[ryan]

Line 71 of my-sites.php should use admin_url(). homeurl and siteurl in blog details seem pretty useless. We should almost always go through the *_url() functions to get those. Likewise, $current_site really doesn't need homeurl and siteurl. Just set site_path and let the network_url() do the piecing together. That way there a not multiple means of accessing the same thing.

my-sites cant use admin_url since that is for a single blog. if anything it should be get_admin_url and get_home_url but that just adds another function call to get the same info that really belongs to blogdetails. Siteurl in blogdetails wasnt added by me so don't think we can remove it. The blogdetails really should be loaded in one big swoop instead of individual calls like it is now.

Saw some bugs in my patch that I'll fix tomorrow.

[ryan]

Yes, get_admin_url(), which is scheme aware unlike blog details. siteurl must stay but we shouldn't add homeurl.

Reading back through the meetup discussion and wanted to post a correction related to this ticket.

Multisite runs fine in a folder as long as it is installed in that folder. It doesn't support offsetting the home url into a folder under the install.

[andreasnrb]

Removed the site path stuff. Fixed the home_url and get_blogaddress_by_name bug

[andreasnrb]

I'll be adding the wp install folder support stuff to #12814 . it requires changing the initial multisite activation so thought it best to not intermingle the problems.

[nacin]

We're not supporting siteurl != homeurl. So is this patch still current?

I'd like to think so. It makes the code coherent. And the 2nd part is actually a bug fix but a little crappy one. Wasn't 100% sure how path and domain worked when I wrote it. It works for me though. It should be a string comparison.

[wpmuguru]

(In [14702]) improvements to get_home/site_url, props andreasnrb + code cleanup, see #12735

[wpmuguru]

(In [14704]) use get_blogaddress_by_name in wp-signup, see #12735

[wpmuguru]

(In [14705]) more use get_blogaddress_by_name, see #12735

[wpmuguru]

That last one should have been network_home_url() in the comment.

[wpmuguru]

AFAIK, this one is fixed.
