That’s really helpful guys, thanks. The security thing won’t be an issue in this context, but it’s good to be aware of such things.

Good Point, Rick! I added the PHP ability, knowing that it gave users more power than they needed (but some had requested), so keep that in mind when rolling this out to other users. Indeed, I may need to tighten this up by limiting PHP ability to admin users only or something.

The plugin will work fine; however, if you do not explicitely trust your users, then you’re opening yourself up to a security nightmare. Any files accessible to the PHP user can be accessed, meaning someone could easily display the contents of your wp-config.php file from within Hook Up. Likewise, they could run an SQL command and wipe your database… or various other bad things.

So yes, you can use Hook Up on a multiuser system, but do so fully aware of the risks.

I’m pretty sure I tested it on MU (don’t remember), so it should work fine. The content is stored in the options table, and each blog has their own options table in MU, so each blog should have its own version of what goes in the k2 hook up fields. If it doesn’t work, let me know and I will fix it for you.
