Hello;

I have two questions concerning eZ possibilities:

1. Is it possible to create blog with subcategories, so that on one blog calendar are displayed posts from all "sub blogs" or blog subcategories?

2. Is it possible for the users to have their private file space (yes) AND to allow them re-use their files in content they create? (blog posts)

Thanks in advance :)

1. yes, you can either define your own class as 'blog_container' for several blogs, or use folder and override it's presentation to your needs.

2. private space: as of 4.1 yes, using content create rules limited by parent owner (need script to create the user folder with user as owner, example can be found here: http://serwatka.net/blog/ez_publish_3_8_new_custom_edit_handler)
re use: a bit more tricky, could maybe be done by creating a folder media section that they own, and somehow make the editor use that folder as start folder for browsing and searching (should be possible by overriding templates of ezoe)

Thank you very much for pointing me directions in which I should go :)
It was exactly what I needed ^^

I was asking about private user space and re-use of files, because I would want users of my site to write blogs and add pictures to them. At the same time, it would be nice not to have a mess, and that user pictures would be stored in their folders. I hope I'll manage to solve this. :)

For creating personal private folder (or private space) you also can try the personal folder extension.

We have used it in some projects, just remember to configure roles policies to let only owner of a object modify it, view it, etc

Thank you for replies. :)

As for user blogs, I'd like users to create blogs under a category with right permissions. And there, I would place a button "Create your blog"...

And here questions start :)

1. Is it possible to make the button appear only for users which don't have a blog yet? At the same time, is it possible to limit their "create blog" ability so that they can create only 1 blog?

2. I understand that some things I want would require editing the Online Editor interface. Is it possible to limit OE functions for a group of users or maybe create a modified copy of OE and let them use that one? Does anybody have experience with it?

3. Will i have to generate rss feeds for each blog created by users manually or are they created automatically?

Thanks in advance :)
