Hi, WordPress is a PHP-based blogging engine. The MU version supports multiple blogs in the same database (as opposed to just one in the basic WordPress app) I'm looking at writing some Rails-based admin modules to interact with WordPress MU.
WordPress MU creates a separate set of tables for each blog. It does this by using a master wp_blogs table and for each blog it creates a set of tables named like: wp_nn_posts wp_nn_comments The "nn" is the record id from the wp_blogs tables. So blog id of 1 generates: wp_1_posts wp_1_comments What would be the best way to reference these models through ActiveRecord? Would it be as simple as creating 1 base set of models and then using Model.table_name = "wp_1_posts" to point to the right tables when the admin module is accessed? Is the table_name attribute safe to play with in a multi-user environment? Is another way better suited to this kind of access? There are more tables than indicated above, I'm trying to keep this post short :) We're looking at potentially hosting 100's of blogs so I don't think we want to create a distinct set of models for each.
