I have an existing Roller (3.0) installation which runs 4 blogs on one
of our websites.
(http://www.do-it.org.uk/doitblog/campaign
and the 3 others on the RHS)
We now need to take the content of two of these blogs
and show them on a different website, with a different theme. The URLs
would be rewritten and proxied from an Apache webserver, so it appears
to be on the new site.
The blog entries would still come from the original site's back end,
this would be a read-only version, although we'd like comments to be
writable on both sites.
How can I do this?
I could create and deploy a copy of the webapp, and point it at the same
database, but the templates are also stored in the same database.
All I can think to do is to create a copy of the database, and then
replace the weblogentry table with a database view of the original
table. The databases are running on the same machine, that would be no
problem. apart from the comments, unless I can create a writable view
for this, providing the IDs are GUIDs and wouldn't clash.
would this work, or is there an easier way to achieve this?
thanks in advance,
Ben Avery
