Yearly. Hard-coding them is an option. But I’d prefer to have the platform running as automated and idiot-proof as possible, otherwise it’ll be me making the changes when it should be the people in charge of the content.

Thanks. Picked an event manager. Will move over to multisite for now.

Your assistance has been much appreciated.

OK, got the multisite installed and working. Nice. Some more questions, if you lovely people are prepared to advise!

What I’ve done is create the main site as a collection of pages. I’m then going to add a sub-site containing only a blog for the various classes.

I’m not sure how best to handle this. Currently I’ve created a theme and added a single template which is used for the pages which make up the bulk of the site contents. However if I understand correctly, to get this theme onto my blogs, I need to add an index.php page to the theme and apply the theme to the blogs.

But there’s a problem. I’ve got a dynamic menu built using wp_list_pages. The design calls for a top level “class blogs” page underneath which there will be links to pages, each containing a blog. To do this, I assume I need to create a page for each class blog – trying to work automatic detection and display of sub-sites into the sub-sections of a dynamic menu is likely a colossal pain, right? But if each blog is contained in its own page, how do I display the content in the page.

Does that make sense?

Also, feel free to recommend an event manager plugin ??

Cheers,
Matt
