Multi user blog setup?
Multi user blog setup?
I am trying to set up a system where users can register and have there own blog....I installed user self registration plug in, what other steps are needed, or is this impossible? Been trying to search this out, but I may have missed it somehow....

Re: Multi user blog setup?
Hi!
With serendipity, you only have one blog. You can set up multiple categories that can have distinct looks, but you cannot have multiple blogs easily.
For signing up multiple blogs, like supersized.org does, you need customized scripts that automate a shared installation.
Best regards,
Garvin

Re: Multi user blog setup?
Hi,
S9Y_conf is intended to help with managing shared installs, that is where you have a base pack of S9Y but create multiple installations for individual circumstances.
You can find out more by looking at http://php-blog.cvs.sourceforge.net/php ... /s9y_conf/, and further information at http://www.labbs.com/~clander/s9y_conf/ along with http://www.labbs.com/~clander/s9y_conf/php/
You will find a range of scripts, any of which could be a starting point in developing your own custom script to handle your needs.
N.B. These scripts are targeted towards the sysadmins who are managing multiple S9Y installations on a cluster of servers.
Best regards

Re: Multi user blog setup?
I realize this is an old post and a lot could have changed in the mean time.
I want to do exactly what MrMoby wants in his first post. But when I see the answers given I cannot coninue.
I read about User Self-Registration in this post http://board.s9y.org/viewtopic.php?f=1& ... lti#p71636
Does that do the trick?

Re: Multi user blog setup?
Hi!
The above still applies. You can have multiple authors to your blog, and you can have a category for each blog author, but they will all be contained in a single blog.
If you want distinct per-user blogs, like supersized, you need to utilize PHP coding and examples like s9y_conf that is mentioned in this thread.
HTH,
Garvin

Re: Multi user blog setup?
Thanks for your reply. I gathered my courage and studied the recommended links.
Uploaded s9y_conf_2.0.0.tar.gz and walked through every step successful.
Now I can manually Add a new blog by editing a template.
But can't this be done automatically? When a new user registers?

Hi!
Sure, you could create a simple event plugin, or edit the existing one to perform the steps that on your server are required to execute. Since this is different on most servers (as vhosts are included, etc.) there's no general way that we saw able to implement.

Re: Multi user blog setup?
I've come this far. So lets go all the way. From what I have read Serendipity is worth the effort.
I have a VPS with Direct Admin. In DA I can create Virtual servers. Furthermore I have SSL access to my server.
What have I done so far?
- uploaded Serendipity 1.4.1 tar.gz to my domain root.
- no installation performed.
- uploaded s9y_conf_2.0.0.tar.gz to my domain root. (overwriting some files from the previous upload)
- executed exampledomain.com/install/index.php
- walked through every step succesfully.
- now my start page is; exampledomain.com/blogdata.php
How do I proceed from this point on? Where can I find an existing event plugin to study?

Hi!
This s9y_conf is pretty much for advanced users. I have not used it myself, so you might need to study the plugin's code/text files.
