Frontpage at root
Hi guys,
I am curently installing a blogserver. What I was wondering, how can
we get a frontpage at the root which for example displays all blogs
available? Is this even possible?
PS. Installing Roller itself is childsplay, nice work on that! (Have
to see how integrating Active Directory goes though ;) )
Kind Regards,
Ronald Iwema

Right in front of me all the time. "Roller Homepage" was the name, close
enough. I assumed it meaned it was colored like that, never occured to me it
was what I was looking for. :) Thanks a lot. I can make a copy and use that
one to brand it a little.

Wonderful! So I define two roller Host
1) For my webapp --> www.example.com
2) For roller webapp --> blog.example.com
And put a link somewhere in the first webapp to recall
http://blog.example.com
Is there a way to permit only the access to http://blog.example.com/myblog?

No, if you specify a frontpage blog, it will be accessible at http://www.example.com
- no need for the rest.

The theme already exists - it's called the "Frontpage theme", I
believe. Just create a new blog, use that theme and set it as the
default blog for your server.

Yeah, something like that is the idea. What is the best way to approach
this? Is there an example, or should I go through roller-template-guide.pdf?

What you're looking for is possible with Roller. The Frontpage theme
has macros that show you all available blogs and such. See
jroller.com as an example.

Hi Matt,
Thank you for our reply. I was not entirely clear on what I wanted ;).
I like a page which automatically show all the available blogs or something
like that. Is there something like that?
Or is my best option to create a weblog like you describe and edit it
manually everytime someone create a weblog?
PS. Active Directory works too now
Kind Regards,

Yes, this is possible. Just create a blog using the Frontpage theme
and then set it as the default handle in Website > Settings.
You'll also need to install Roller as the ROOT web application.
