If you go to the CDReviews page, however, and click on "Create a New Post" it will take you to http://173.203.64.18:2100/blog/posts/manage/ which is the "create" page for the frontpage blog. If I were smart enough to figure out how to make that "Create a New Post" link go to http://173.203.64.18:2100/cdreviews/posts/manage/ I think that might work and create a second blog. But that raises another question, would site "members" need to register at each of the three different blogs in order to use them or is there a way that a person could register one time on the frontpage and have access to all three blog flows?

Hi Jerry,

here is with what I can help.

On the first question, the problematic link: This is expected and happens because the user menu itself is just a CustomHTML webframe and some of the links are pointed to the "blog" application. If you manage it you can see the URLs start with {url: app-root $|$ blog}, which is a functional tag that will be substituted with the URL of the "blog" application root node. To change that you need simply to change the "blog" in the string, with the name of the proper application for that webframe - "cdreviews" in your case.

On the second question, users do not need to register more than once. In the scope of a single Integra installation, there is only one registration needed, but each blog application has its own members list.

A side note. From what i understand of your concept, I think we may need to build the user pages a little different, so they now reflect that there are three blog applications, not only one which is the template case.

"small" question: will the new User profile module allow the admins to use one single users list for all (int his case 3) blog apps instances installed or they will still have separate users lists but will use one unified user profile module ... ?

The user profile data is shared between all applications and is the same for all of them.
