hacking Sitewide privacy options for WordPress MU

0

Hi there !

I think I have the idea to this important issue of accessing blogs individually using this plugin : by adding an optional default page for non subscribers, and optionnaly coupled to the possibility of search engine access.

Coupled with blog registration (which could also be hacked to effectively have single AND multiple blogs registrations) we could in fact have a blog showing the whole portal with no access at all except to the allowed pages.

Dont know if that interress anyone, but I have a MEGA issue on that for several sites and custumers.

For the moment, this does not seem to be possible on multisite install :slight_frown:

Any +1 or idea of something existing managing that ?

    Canot edit so :

    There is (many !) but the las topic about that is http://wordpress.org/support/topic/register-for-subdomains-blogs?replies=4#post-1639172

    This is my point :

    ==============================

    Hello

    This is a VERY BIG WP Multisites issue !

    Because

    1 -it is not possible for ONE user to register to single blogs

    2 – even with a special plugin restablishing the blog registration, a user CANNOT automatically register to SEVERAL BLOGS with the same login/mail

    3 – and last but not least, none of the privacy plugins works by site ! Any user register on any blog WILL have acces to private areas defined by plugins such as member acces or absolute privacy.

    In fact, this is a really important multisite weakness, sorry to tell that, because that means :

    – we CANNOT offer “real” private sites to bloggers

    – users must have several mail account if they want to register to several blogs !

    Just imagine a farm with hundreds of blogs, and a user interested in, lets says just 15 blogs, he must have 15 mails OR beeing added manually by an admin, though WITHOUT any by site privacy possibility !!!!!!

    Hopping that will be taken in consideration since this is a feature often asked by users !

    Best regards
