multiple blogs, multiple authors

[laurencer]

i've looked through everything on the forums (that i could find, anyway), but i haven't been able to figure out how to configure serendipity to allow multiple users each with their own blog.

i've added a second user per instructions, but now i'm trying to allow each user a separate administration interface that will allow each to post on their own individual blogs.

is this possible? if so, how?

i've downloaded and installed the CVS from april 29, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything differently than my previous installation (0.6rc-2). have i not upgraded properly?

any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

This feature is still Experimental in the current versions of Serendipiity, but you can try it.

You will find the documentation here.

Please post on the forums if you run into problems or to share your experiences once you get it working.

Each user can have his own blog using the shared installation mode. It's explained in detail in the README file and has already been ported to our Wiki documentation.

But that has been in 0.6-rc2 already. The news in 0.6.1/0.7 is the multi-usermanagement, where X users can maintain a single blog...

I hope that helps?

hi - a newbie to serendipity but i expect to do a lot of hacking on it

adding multiple blogs seems ... painful - why all the creation of new directories in a shell and separate dbs for each users blog? - shouldnt it be easy to make a php file to make the new directories and also just add the userid to the blog tables for each user - then someone can mix and match blog entries in a single blog OR display them as separate blogs simply by doing a SELECT ?

what i want to do with serendipity is allow each user to have many mini-blogs - then i will be having views of these mini-blogs (think of these as working group blogs) - as an example, say i was part of a dev team and on the UI and database module teams - so i would have a mini-blog for both teams - there would be a team blog that would display all the mini-blog entries for each team as a single blog

so anyway - i dont expect serendipity to do this out of the box BUT it would be nice if it started to support a more flexible user signup/signin program (like a membership system in phpbb) and more flexible recording of blog entries (with userid and blogid attached to each entry)

any hints for me as i dig in are greatfully accepted - and if parts of what i add can contribute to the whole i will certainly submit the new modules

I also just created a simple plugin for this: http://www.s9y.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=3765#3765
