I want to make a blog site using xoops. And I want very user has his/her own subdomain, and has his/her blog theme seperately. Could do this using xoops?

For example. Say my blogsite may behttp://www.myblogsite.com/ and I have a user named Sam. so his blogsite ishttp://sam.myblogsite.com/. not as : http::/www.myblogsite.com/modules/wordpress/index.php?p=3

In theory - you could do a url re-write which would direct a subdomain to this... but it could be a bit tricky to do....

Thinks for your information. I am reading mod_rewrite in apache.

but it won't be what you really want because of some reasons - what you want is a multi-blog system and wordpress itself doesn't support that feature, it's just a multi-user blog system, i.e. many users could post on one blog so there's one site they all are using, so one theme. using mod_rewrite to redirect you'll have to make different clone installation for each user and then you'll imitate it, but you'll have to make each wordpress installation separately by your own. so i've been looking for the same feature (wanted each user to simply register by himself and then got his own blog which can moderate himself, like theme, etc.) and concluded it's still not possible under XOOPS now.
there are some other possibilities not connected to xoops, so sorry i'll mention them here in the XOOPS community site, that do this - at this moment i've found 2 open source multi-blog systems (standalone applications) that work and give you the wanted feature:
1) pLog (http://plogworld.net/) - i think it's much better and has a good working development team;
2) WordPressMU (http://mu.wordpress.org/) - that's a different project than WordPress himself but still got a lot of problems working and seems like a very small development team, but on the other side it seems to be used well on existing multi-blog sites.

And another one i forgot - Wang's Wordpress Multi-blog Hack (http://www.wswang.com/bloh/?p=3) - that seems to be working ok as i tried it but don't relly on a real-working support, it seems to be a real problem.

So, it's from me.
Greetings!

Difference between Plog and Xoops.

Thanks for you information.

I've installed plog on my pc and have a try. It's really good.

I think there are many difference between plog and Xoops.

If you are a BSP, or will let others use you space to write blog, then plog is a good choice.

But if you want to make a website not only has blog on it. I think XOOPS is the right thing.

That's why XOOPS is a CMS and a really powerful CMS and pLog is just a multi-blog application Maybe the only common thing between is that both are really good open source projects but much different in their heart and aims
