Multiple Blogs on Drupal 6.13 for One User?
Hi there,
as part of my new site, I am trying to consolidate 4 wordpress blogs on drupal.
What I am trying to do is have a node (page? Sorry, still figuring out terminology) linked from the primary menu that opens to an "about" page, with a secondary menu in a block at the left with
- blog 1
- blog 2
- blog 3
- blog 4
each of which will open in place of the "about" page when clicked.
However, I am having a ton of trouble figuring out how to do this; is there a module that lets me create multiple blogs for one user? Is this best done with taxonomy? (Seems like kind of an untidy way, but I could be wrong, I'm really new at this.)
Also, anyone have any tips on importing complete wordpress blogs, including images, categories and tags, to drupal? I installed the wordpress_import module and am about to start playing with it, but if anyone has any advice, I would be grateful. Unfortunately, the best page I've found so far about importing wordpress to drupal had some broken links, and I am really looking for concrete examples.
Any help appreciated enormously!
Taxonomy
If your needs are simple and it's a single-user site, then taxonomy is a perfectly reasonable way to do what you describe. Just create a vocabulary "blog" and assign terms for each blog item.
If you are a single-user site, you should NOT use the Drupal blog module, but rather take advantage of the core "story" content type.
If you want to do this for an entire community site, then you have some development to do. We have a module that supports multiple blogs per user, and multiple users per blog, but we have not yet released it as an open-source contribution. (We expect to do so, but it is not quite ready for that.)
Cool -- thanks. This is just
Cool -- thanks. This is just for one user (my personal site.) I want to keep the topics separate.
Do you have any idea (approximately) when you'll be releasing your module? I may just wait a bit to see if there's an easier way to deal with it.
