Drupal Blog Module

Hi,

   I have found that drupal suggests module like this:

"The blog module allows every registered user to maintain an individual online weblog (commonly known as a blog), often referred to as an online journal or diary. Blogs are made up of individual posts that are time stamped and are typically viewed by date as you would a diary. Blogs often contain links to webpages users have read and/or agree/disagree with.

Note that the blog module is not necessary for a "single-user" blog, that is a site that only has one individual blogging (the most common situation.) Blog module is used to create "multi-user" blog sites, where many different blogs, owned by different users are all running on one site. If you would like more information on creating a single-user blog, here is a Single User Blog recipe to get you started"

drupal.org/handbook/modules/blog

 Is that possible to do something like this right now on Mojo, or it should be developed?

Thank you

Re: Drupal Blog Module

Hi,

mojoPortal can host any number of blogs but there is not anything currently to allow any authenticated user to have a blog automatically.

It would not be that hard to build since all the methods exist to manually create a page add a blog and give uer edit permission, it would just be writing code to automate this by calling the exisitng methods in correct sequence. One would need to implement a naming scheme for creating new pages to host the blogs and validation to avoid clashes with existing pages.

It would need to be implemented with a configuration switch to turn it off.

Also it would probably be better to make it require the user to request a blog rather than just create one automatically unless you assume that everyone who registers wants a blog. Seems better to have a "click here to create your blog" concept with maybe wizard steps to give the user some choices about things.

Best,

Joe
