Multiple Blogs via Collections and Workspaces
Posted by JarrettV on 9/14/2008 7:53:06 PM - CSTOne of the major goals of BlogSvc is to support multiple blogs within a single application instance.
BlogSvc defaults to single workspace mode. Release 0.5 only supports a single workspace installed to the root of the website. With this single workspace, you can have any number of collections. For example, a personal site might have collections for:
- Personal Blog
- Work Blog
- Media Uploads
- Articles or Pages
- Photo Blog
Each of these collections can have multiple authors and contributors. However, it is likely that all the collections will be controlled by the same author(s). BlogSvc utilizes workspaces as a way to segment collections within a single application instance. Future versions of BlogSvc will support multiple workspaces in two different ways:
- Sub-folders, ex: http://www.mysite.com/workspace/collection
- Sub-domains, ex: http://workspace.mysite.com/collection
Also, the next release will support installation to a virtual directory. Virtual directory installations should support sub-folder workspace installations.
