Hi,
I _was_ trying to join Joomla and WPMU together to realize a idea I had for a site. But after searching, trying, thinking and changing stuff - I dont want to join them. I want to make it purely in WPMU.
To get together what I need - I have to change the home.php (or some other theme) to fit my needs from a frontpage. And as far as I've seen on other sites - I have to create the wheel.
I dont know how to code, but I decided to learn about a week ago (PHP and MySQL). Not for the purpose of knowing enough to code what I need, but for understanding how things can be done - to then teach me that.
So for the first problem I've got.
The home.php file. Is it so that no matter what theme I choose, I have to have a home.php in that theme folder - and that choosen theme is then the "frontpage of WPMU? And the index.php in that theme folder is then the default theme for new blogs?
This is the first thing I've got on my list: Make the frontpage home.php
And what I'm wondering is; Can I choose a set of articles to be the 4 first articles of the main site - until i decide to change one of them or more? Is it a ID field set in the database table for me to identify an exact post from one of my blogs?
And categories - is it normal to make the categories for people and have them follow your scheme (this would be good for having for instance a "sport corner" with only sport blogs etc on the frontpage) - or is it a good way to fix this anyhow?
