WordPress MU

Hi all,
I would like to be able to create new blogs by passing user details to wpmu via a php script.
Before I start looking at the wpmu code, has anyone already done this, or can anyone suggest where I might start?
Thanks.

And how would it differ from the included signup process?

The main difference is that I have a username, password, email address etc for my users already, as they will be accessing the wpmu blog from inside another application. (a Virtual Learning Environment.)
So I want them to be able to create a blog just by clicking on a link. Their details would then be passed to wpmu and the blog created, with a default name, eg. John Smith's Blog. (Joe Bloggs' blog?!) Thereafter they would be able to access the blog from inside the VLE, but without having to log in to wpmu. Login would be done automatically using the VLE username and pass.
Hope that makes sense. It's all about ease of use for users, and single sign-on.

Hi, if you do find/write this script I would be very interested also. I am looking at using WPMU for a similar purpose.

I have done this already with LifeType, which has an API for this kind of thing. However I would prefer to use WordPress if possible because I think more people are familiar with it.
Having an API for blog creation etc. would really extend WordPress, and make it a lot more connectable with other applications. Web 2.0 anyone?

Has anyone figured out how to do this yet?

I'm going to work on it today or tomorrow...

any news here?

try to look at:
wpmu_validate_blog_signup();
wpmu_signup_blog();
confirm_blog_signup();

I wrote a script which you'll have to put into /wp-admin/ it takes a password via GET and 4 POST parameters
username -> this user will be created and assingned to the blog
blog[domain] -> the name that appears in the url like mywordpress.com/blogs/domain
blog[email] -> email address
blog[title] -> blog title

the script will autocreate a blog / user with the given data using the wordpress functions

it also has a password-auth because i commented the wp auth out, so I don't have to mess arround with cookie stuff etc.

if some1 is intrested write me a mail or reply here.

Can you share your code with me? :)

I'll be back @ work on thursday I'll post the code here.
with a little how-to that explains the script.

Actually, no, please don't post the code here as the forums usually eat code. Please consider using a service like pastebin or load it online somewhere as *.phps or *.txt files and link to it.

Thank you though for following up on this,.

alright so here's the script you have to put into /wp-admin/ of the wordpress directory:
http://pastebin.com/f1c6693d0

and a small example on how to use it:
http://pastebin.com/f2c933295

as I said I disabeld the wordpress authetification so I dont have to deal with cookies,

in the first script it checks the password that is given by a GET parameter against a MD5 hash, so if you want to change the password just replace the md5 hash with your hash and send the correct password via GET if any questions are left post them here

Thanks a lot! I'll test it shortly. Bugs report will follow if any :)
