Hi Jesper.

That’s correct, you’ll need to copy the entire mezzanine.blog folder. You’ll 
also need to replace all mentions of it with your own version on settings.py 
and urls.py.

You’re essentially creating your own blog app to replace the one that ships 
with Mezzanine.

Hey Eduardo, and thanks for your inputs on multiple blogs. I am currently 
creating a multiple blog for a primary schcool with a blog for each grade. I am 
following your suggestions on the steps to follow in mezzanine.
However the first point about copying all the the contents from mezzanine.blog 
made me a little confused. Normally I just copy one a file at a time to my blog 
app (eg. the blog_post_deatil.html) and then modifies this file, and then it 
will overwrite the blog_post_deatil.html in mezzanine.blog. 
However for the models I think it's different. I tried to copy the content of 
the models.py from mezzanine.blog to my blog app (same procedure as with the 
blog_post_deatil.html) but that throws me an error (something about a 
duplicate). So when you say copying all the contents from mezzanine.blog, do 
you also mean the models.py and how without getting an error?
Kind regards, Jesper

Sorry, don’t have enough time to write a code sample right now, but here is a 
more detailed description of the steps:
 
• Create a new application with all the contents copied from mezzanine.blog. 
Let’s call it multiblog. Add it to installed apps.
• In models.py add a new Blog model inheriting from Slugged (this will give it 
a title and slug). Register it in the admin so you can add Blog instances.
• Add foreign keys to this new Blog model to BlogPost and BlogCategory, so each 
post and category will belong to one blog. Create the required migrations. Make 
sure you expose the FK field in the admin so each post and category can choose 
to which Blog they will belong to.
• Rewrite urls.py to account for the Blog slug. For example: “/blog/some-post” 
becomes “/blog/blog-slug/some-post”. The regex for the URL should capture the 
blog slug so it will be passed to the view.
• Rewrite views.py to account for the new blog slug, and modify the querysets 
to only look into the posts / categories for a particular blog. Something like 
BlogPost.objects.filter(blog__slug=).
• Optionally rewrite the template-finding logic in the view to allow you to use 
different (per-blog) templates. For example, you could have the view load 
templates by looking inside folders that match the blog slug, like 
“templates/blog//blog_post_detail.html” and 
“templates/blog//blog_post_list.html”.
 
Hope that helps!

Re: [mezzanine-users] Re: Multiple Blogs

[userblaz]

actually in some cases category.title worked and category.slug did not... 

do you guys know if is possible to filter blog_recent_posts with the 
category? for example to display only the recent posts of that particular 
category..

 The crux of one solution is to add something appropriate to your 
 blog_post_list.html and blog_post_detail.html, perhaps in `extra_head` 
 block, that has your custom CSS in it with template `if` blocks to check 
 the category.

It looks like Mezzanine will derive a template name from the category slug, 
allowing you to create one template per category. Just an alternative to 
the in-template conditional.

Hi Kenneth,

can you suggest how can I style differently the 2 blogs if I want to use 
Josh's approach?

http://example.com/posts/category/blog/

and your news at:
http://example.com/posts/category/news/

Hi,

Both ways mentioned in this thread are pretty standard Mezzanine Way
approaches to multiple blogs with separate styles. Josh's suggestion is a
good place to start and could be refactored to become Eduardo's suggestion.

 Hello Dennis. I actually needed to do this for a project a few years
 ago. As far a I know, Mezzanine doesn't support multiple blogs out of the
 box. What I did was create a "Blog" model, which simply had a slug and
 title, and then add it as FK to the standard BlogPost and BlogCategory
 models. After that, it's just a matter of updating urls and views to
 account for a blog_slug parameter to get the correct Blog instance. If you
 want to get fancy, you can create "base" templates for each blog. That way,
 you get unique blog posts, categories and templates for each blog. You'll
 also need to modify the queries made by the Admin to only return the subset
 of BlogPost's that match a Blog instance in particular.

 Important note: this of course implies you're "forking" Mezzanine's
 blog app, so you will have to maintain it by yourself and install it in
 place of the default one.

Hi Dennis,

wandering how it is working out with the categories as different blogs.. is 
it working fine? are you able to style differently the posts from separate 
categories? Cheers

I decided to go with Josh's suggestion as it is easier when it comes to 
maintenance (and of course now that the client wanted it yesterday :-) ). 
Also found the Category_Link extensions that makes it easy to maintain 
different blog categories resulting in news and blog pages.
