Configuring Aggregate Blogs

Intro

Subtext supports having an aggregate blog for all blogs on a system. For example, suppose you have the following blogs installed:

  • http://yourdomain.com/blog1/
  • http://yourdomain.com/blog2/
  • http://yourdomain.com/blog3/

It is possible to have the url http://yourdomain.com/ contain an aggregate of blog entries from the three blogs.

To configure this, you will have to edit the web.config by hand (this will be taken care of in a future version of Subtext).

Within the appSettings section, you should see the following settings. 

<add key="AggregateEnabled" value="false" />

<add key="AggregateTitle" value="A Subtext Community" />
<add key="AggregateUrl" value="http://localhost/Subtext.Web" />

<add key="AggregateDescription" value=".NET by Subtext" />
<add key="AggregateHost" value="localhost" />

To turn on the aggregate blog, simply set the AggregateEnabled value to true and modify the AggregateUrl and AggregateHost values according to your domain.
