Create a list of individual user blogs created with core blog module

femrich - March 4, 2008 - 07:06

I'm running Drupal 5.7 and have a site in which I use the blog module to allow users to create individual blogs. This means that there is a weblog page where all weblog entries are listed as well as individual weblogs available at, for example, blog/1, blog/2, etc.

I want to create a link to blogs that will allow users to select all blogs (blog) or an individual user's blog (blog/1, etc, though I want to generate the list showing username rather than userid). I know how to do it the old-fashioned way, creating a menu item for each user's blog. But is there a way to generate this list automatically: i.e. create a page where each user's blog link is automatically added?

I was thinking about Views, but as I understand it this would not work the way I envision (one page with a list of links to each individual's blog) because Views is focused on nodes (i.e. individual weblog entries and so would be hard-pressed to generate a higher-level list of links to blogs.

I'm stuck. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

There is also

There is also http://drupal.org/project/blog_list wich provide a very simple blogs list.

And about those tools (blogger and blog-list) I was wondering if there is any solution to print a node-profile cck-field instead of the basic user name ? (with the link to the user's blog of course)

Any idea ?

Thanks to both of you for
