The MU forums have moved to WordPress.org

Using WPMU as a CMS, need each blog to have default pages (8 posts)

    My client wants each of their franchisees to have a few pages off the main page, such as
    http://www.example.com/austin/
    or
    http://www.example.com/san-francisco/

    And then each of these blogs need to have default pages like:
    http://www.example.com/austin/about/
    or
    http://www.example.com/austin/contact/
    AND each of the default pages need to have default content. Horrific development planning has left a week until the CMS is due :(, and I'm wondering if maybe I'd better invest in a book on drupal and a lot of coffee

    Have you tried creating a test blog? A page called About is in there by default.

    If you want to add more pages/change that name/change the content, you can hack it (tons of threads if you search) or use this plugin -

    (I think that may have it in there).

    Nope, no new pages in New Blog Defaults - but it wouldn't be hard and you can use the basics of the code that is there to figure out where to add it.

    When I attempt to activate that plugin, I get the following error "The plugin does not have a valid header."

    Looks like I shall have to hack something together myself

    -Sick of hacking

    Oh NM, I just had to DL it from the site, as opposed to the plugin viewer.

    You don't activate it, you stick it in the mu-plugins folder. It runs automatically and will not need activation. you'll see the menu show up automagically.

    Yeah, I figured all that. But it didn't do most of what I needed unfortunately. It allowed me to change the default home page but that is all.
