You can create a blog manually for each manager

¥

Thanks, thats what I want to do.
But do I need to use the autoblog plugin or can I create a blog for each manager using the admin portal?

I'm a bit confused as to add more blogs. The intial install seems to have install bloga blogb linkblog. I've edited bloga for one manager.
How do I create 10 more?

thanks again for your help

On the admin page where you picked a blog to edit ( admin > blogs ) there's a "create a new blog" link, click it and you'll get a shiny new blog ;)

Thanks!!!!

Gosh it took a while for me to find the tab :)

Now can I use the first new blog as a template for the rest of the managers blogs?
ie all i need is categories. news, fixtures, results for each blog.

Secondly how would I assign a manager/user to each blog?
What rights would you recommend. I just need them to login and edit their own content.

This is looking very promising, far better than i ever hoped for :)

thanks again

I'm afraid there's no easy way to do it, you have to create each blog and categories from scratch.

For permissions, I'd create a "managers" group ( admin > app settings > users : add group ) and turn off all the admin stuff that you don't want them to have access to ( stats, users, files etc ).

Then , on each blog, for just the owner manager, assign their user as "editor" ( I'm *pretty* sure that restricts them to posting, but you'd need to check ). If that doesn't then hit "wide" view ( or whatever it's called ) and untick everything you don't want them to have access to.

If you wanted them all to have a shared blog you could assign the managers group as an editor to the relevant blog.

thanks for the advice!

This should keep me busy for a while :)

Hopefully this will be my last question :)

OK I've created a new blog (BPAUnder11s) and created a new group (Managers) and created a new user (under11s).
I've assigned the user to the blog and set the rights to editor.

Now I can see the blog site, but how do I login as the user and edit the blog.
I can login as admin and change everything.
But I want to login as a user and only edit posts
Were do I login for this blog?
Do i log in at mysite/admin.php?
Because this says access denied.

Almost there! :)

the chances are that when you created your group you ticked "no access to admin", hit admin > users > group name ( Managers ) and change the setting ;)

Hi althetaff,

You can solve this problem if you use another browser because in your current browser there is now a cookie set that 'knows' you're the admin. Deleting cookies should do also.

Good luck

Thanks for all your help guys!

This is now working prefectly........

Hi Guys,
Here is my site :) I have all the blogs set in place and I am just waiting for my managers to give their info before I let them loose with their blogs.

I would to add a link back to my homepage if I can from each blog.
Some of the managers are so computer lit and may not know to use the back button.

If this is not easy to implement I just put the blog link a new window

You could cheat and create a blog called "home" with access type set to "absolute url" ( and put your sites home page url in there ) ;)

Very good :)
