You need to find a caps lock key :|

¥

well I'm in a bit of a jam and it's extremely frustrating. Are you able to help or did you just want to comment on my caps?

Things that help :

1) no caps, we're not myspace users huh? ;)

2) a link to your site where you're having the problem

3) an inkling as to what part of your urls are failing, how and what you'd *like* the urls to be like

¥

We are only able to help you if you are able to explain to us what the trouble is. So relax, take your time and describe the issue.

Good luck

man i remember being an unpaid intern :D

okay thank you.

www.clarioncountydailynews.com is where we want them at. when i go to blog settings for a given one (there is one for Em, Will and Austin and then the blog all) I'm not sure what to put in after clarioncountydailynews.com/blog/ for the blog URL folder, I think have to create one first. then the URL blog name and then i wasn't sure if the url preview is what I need to put as the link on my website so when you click on it it goes to the actual blog for the public. so there we are. I'm new to this stuff. I'm a really fast learned but I need to get a jump start first

I'm not an intern. I'm a morning show co-host and producer. It's my first job in radio and this is the smallest station you would ever imagine. Imagine a farm house and 8 full time employees and you have my station

Ok,

http://clarioncountydailynews.com/blog/index.php?blog=2
http://clarioncountydailynews.com/blog/index.php?blog=3
http://clarioncountydailynews.com/blog/index.php?blog=4

works for now. I see you tried to change the urls, but I don't see how and where you tried that. Can you reverse what you did? In a next post I will run through the steps for another URL.

Good luck

so i attach all of the crap after clarioncountydailynews.com to the hyperlink?

First you need to delete
emblog
willblog/
Austinblog
where you have put them. That must be in backoffice -> Blog settings -> *choose a blog* -> General -> Blog URL parameters.

To be continued

Next find the file a_stub.php in Yourhost/blog/ or in the unzipped B2evo distribution. Make three copies of it. Call #1 willblog.php, call#2 emblog.php and call#3 austinblog.php.
In the first one change:

$blog = 1;

in

$blog = 2;

In emblog.php change:

$blog = 1;

in

$blog = 3;

and in austinblog change:

$blog = 1;

in

$blog = 4;

Upload the three files to the /blog/ folder on the server.

to be continued

Next, go to backoffice -> Blog settings -> Em -> General and set "Preferred access type" to "Explicit reference to stub file (Advanced):" with the value "emblog". Repeat this step with the other two blogs.
The blog should now be accessible through: http://clarioncountydailynews.com/blog/emblog If it is not then a) set the server to automatically detect php files or b) change the value you just entered in "emblog.php" and the blog will be accessible through: http://clarioncountydailynews.com/blog/emblog.php

To be continued

Epilog

Next you need to decide what to do with the All blog. If you want to keep it, reference it to a_stub.php (you may want to change the name of that file; it should point to blog #1.) If you do not want to use it, remove the All blog from the blog roll (menu) in backoffice -> Blog settings -> Blog All -> display -> List of public blogs and both switched off.

One final touch: you used the linkblog (blog #4) for Austin. Make a new blog (that will be blog #5) call it Linkblog and change this setting in all four other blogs: backoffice -> Blog settings -> *select Blog* -> display -> Link blog / Blogroll -> Default linkblog: -> Linkblog

Good luck

Weirdly enough, that sounds like fun 8|

and please, a friendly reminder to refrain from topic titles like this one. It ruins it for ppl that might use the search.

There is always something more descriptive that can go in a topic title.

thanks.

I don't know where to find the php thing to change the blog numbers

Hi c93,

In the distribution (zip file) from B2evo you find the file a_stub.php. You can open it with a text editor (not Word but Notepad) and you will find on lines 21 - 24:

# First, select which blog you want to display here!
# You can find these numbers in the back-office under the Blogs section.
# You can also create new blogs over there. If you do, you may duplicate this file for the new blog.
$blog = 2;   	// 2 is for "demo blog A" or your upgraded blog (depends on your install)

You change the number on the last line. The you use "Save as ..." to generate willblog.php, emblog.php and austinblog.php respectivily.

Then you upload these stubfiles to the server in the /blog/ folder.

That's all. Good luck

yeah thats my problem, I can't find that file anywhere.

It's in the zip file. When you open the zip, there's a folder b2evolution. It's right inside that folder, not in the /blogs/ folder that's in the b2evolution folder as well.

Good luck

what i am trying to say is that i can't find the b2evo file, should it be on my computer or on the actual blog site with all my settings and stuff. I'm sorry I'm totally new at this kinda stuff

Just download it again. The zip is only 3Mb.

okay i found it. i'ts not in a zip, i got it

so if I want to make a new blog, then do I label that one as 4? because when i go to change it and save it, it's not working. there is a 4th jock, wayne. I put wayneblog.php in the url thingy or whatever, then i went to a_stub and changed the number to 4???

In your setup you have:
#1: All blog
#2: Will
#3: Em
#4: Austin
You want a Linkblog (any number)
You want a blog for Wayne.
So you make two new blogs that aparently will become #5 and #6. It really doesn't matter which way, you only need to remember what blog # Wayne gets, because you need to reference that number in the wayneblog.php file.

Good luck

okay I'm taking lunch. everything is really screwed up now... I'm going to send you a private message

okay now the only problem I am having is when will logs in his clog does not show up anywhere, and its' not on mine either

also waynes is not showing up anywhere

For Wayne: the file wayneblog.php is missing. It needs to point to blog # 4.
I have no problem with Will's blog, nor at the blog nor in the backoffice. Does the problem persist with you?
Will: http://clarioncountydailynews.com/blog/willblog.php

I gave them all their own username and passwords and the only place that will and wayne can access theres is through the main clarionc

I did assign him #4 and it's still not showing up. What I was trying to say about will's is if I sign in with wills username and password -not clarionc, his and wayne's do not show up

I made some changes, is it better now?

The requested URL /blog/wayneblog.php was not found on this server.

You need to rename the stubfile to wayneblog.php

okay well waynes is still not working. I'm not sure what to do now. I changed it in the php and resaved it. I also want to know, when people go on and look there is a button to edit our stuff... are the able to access that because thats something we dont' want

The edit button is only visible to you, not to a 'normal' visitor. It's cookie related.

It still says there is no file called wayneblog.php in the folder blog on the server.
