    Can this package be used in a multi-site environment?

    Can uBlogsy be used in a multi-site environment to allow some sites to have a blog and others not to have a blog. And keep the blog posts separated by site?

    If you have a different tree per site in the Umbraco content section then yes.

    Thanks Anthony, Unfortunately I don't think I can have a different tree per site. All of these sites are a group of related agencies that are all in the same business thus they share a good deal of required functionality as well as common web resources. But each site has different ownership. And must be kept completely separated from every other site.

    We have 7 live sites now and we have another 8 in the works. And currently they are all in the same tree. How difficult would it be to separate them into separate trees? Does a separate tree mean a separate database?

    multiple ublogsy's will work if they are roots of different subtrees..

    I assume you want this:

    content

    - main node

    - site 1

    - ublogsy

    - site 2

    - ublogsy

     

    that should work just fine.

    Anthony, Thank you very much for your help. I really appreciate it.

    We currently have 13 active sites in the one umbraco installation. A few of the sites want blogs but not all. We have to make sure the posts are kept separate between sites.

    Below is a tree representation of our current set up. I'm not familiar with ublogsy, do I install it into umbraco one time as most of the plugins do? Then how do you set it up so that Site A and Site B have a blog but not Site C. And Site A blog posts don't show up in Site B's blog?  I realize "How to do you set it up" is a broad question but any pointers you can give me to save me stumbling around trying to figure it out would be really helpful.

    Content
    Site A - Homepage
    page
    page
    ublogsy

    Site B - Homepage
    page
    page
    ublogsy

    Site C - Homepage
    etc...

    Thanks so much for your help

    Your site structure will work fine.

    Would like to add, or possibly clarify something.

    Content
    uBlogsy A <- Landing page
    uBlogsy B

    While this will work, note that the urls will still be e.g. /posts/2012/hello-world which means the two can collide. To solve this, put them under a (for example) homepage with the same name as the blog. The only practical difference will be (i think) that now, the urls will be /ublogsy-a/posts/... and /ublogsy-b/posts/...

    Content
    uBlogsy A <- Homepage (empty)
    uBlogsy A <- Landing page
    uBlogsy B
    uBlogsy B 

    The landing page keeps its url (/ublogsy-a both before and after).

    Took me a few minutes to realize this :P
