[1.9.x] *sigh* I deleted all my sample blogs and set default

My b2evolution Version: 1.9.x

I am new to the software.

I was in a hurry, I'm getting on a plane to France tonight for a week, wanted to make an aggregate blog for a bunch of friends and myself. I've made the blogs, but I had already deleted the example blogs.

I just read the part about not doing exactly what I did in the FAQ/help documentation, but the documenation doesn't include what to do to fix it! LOL

I did make a new blog, but it doesn't seem to have a permanent page. It seems to be just the root/b2evolution/index.php

I tried setting my blog in its own folder: root/b2evolution/blog/
but that didn't work; told me it couldn't find index.php.

I copied the default index.php from the b2evolution folder into it, and it gave me a bunch of php coding errors/problems.

I CAN leave it the way it is, but as it is currently setup, noone of my bloggers, including me, has their own blog page. It's always the aggregate (all) page, even when you click on their names.

You can see it here: http://www.gamersledge.com/b2evolution

Thanks for the help, in advance!

(v 1.9.2 just in case)

Hi balth99. 1.9.3 is pretty much obsolete. That doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't use it - just that being obsolete means finding help with it will be hard to come by.

Anyway your individual blogs (like, a blog per blogger) most certainly can have their own page. Somewhere on the blog settings page there will be something that asks about the URL for the blog. Set it to the type that looks like it will be "called by blog ID on index", and set your aggregator blog to be "default on index". Don't opt to use stub files just yet unless you don't mind creating the actual stub file. Which is easy, but one step at a time eh?

The idea being sooner or later you'll see how to make the blog settings create links like http://gamersledge.com/b2evolution/index.php?blog=4 or http://gamersledge.com/b2evolution/index.php?blog=6 :)

Erm, those choices are not present.

Sorry about the length of delay in responding, as I stated in my initial post, I was leaving for France and have just returned.

These are the only options on thepage you refer:

Relative to baseurl:http://gamersledge.com/b2evolution/
With trailing slash. By default, leave this field empty. If you want to use a subfolder, you must handle it accordingly on the Webserver (e-g: create a subfolder + stub file or use mod_rewrite).
Absolute URL:With trailing slash.
Preferred access type:
Automatic detection by index.phpMatch absolute URL or use default blog (Current default : Gamersledge)
Explicit reference on index.phpYou might want to use extra-path info with this.
Explicit reference to stub file (Advanced):Stub name:
For this to work, you must handle it accordingly on the Webserver (e-g: create a stub file or use mod_rewrite).
URL blog name:
Used to uniquely identify this blog. Appears in URLs when using extra-path info. Also gets used as default for the media location (see the advanced tab).
URL preview:
http://gamersledge.com/b2evolution/index.php/

As you can see, none of them have an id tag/number. Nor can I find anything about an aggregate.

I understand it is obsolete, but it's what I have to work with, so I'm trying to make the best of it :) Thank you again in advance.
