Is possible that it works for several authors and that each author can manage his own blog?

Thank you

On the main site it tells you that you can have multiple authors, however I have no idea how to access this feature. Anyone know how? I too am interested.

It's somewhat built in, but there is not GUI for it... yet

If you've got access to your database, make a user entry in the table serendipity_authors (or with whatever table prefix you created the database).
Just fill in all fields, and afterwards run a SQL script like this:

UPDATE serendipity_authors SET password = MD5('second_authors_pwd') where username='second_author'

Ahum, second_author(_password) is an example ...

Hi there,

i've got two Q's:

1) im kinda new to databases, so pleaze don't hit me...
am i reading the comment above the right way?
I just need a second user for my database in order to have a blog
wich two users can maintain? (i first thought i'd need a second database...)

2) is something like this: http://www.twinblog-7783.de.vu/ possible with serendipity?
2 Users each one with his own space on the same blog?

3) or is it a better idea to keep the users seperated each one which his own database and blog. And then just display the two on one site?

Thanx for your comments

Maybe, #2 we can't do

Right, so, adding a new account manualy tot the database works excelent, thanks! Only problem i have now is that category's seem to be exclusive per user: the new user does not see the exsiting category's and allthough i've created the same cat. under both accounts, the postings done by user 2 don't show up in it.

Is there any workaround for this too?

Thanks in advace,

Olger.

You could go and try the latest CVS snapshot. Multi-user interface has been changed a lot, and at least the categories can now be made private and public, to allow crossposting.

Do you think something like this would be posslible?
