Adding a User to a Blog

If you have a Blog on your site and you wish to have members to have access to add to it you can accomplish this by the use of the access control.

As a test if you have logged into this site you should be able to add to the blog below. If you have not signed in or signed up yet do so and when you have you will find you will be able to add a blog post.

Please sign up on Home page

Setting up Access Control  (see here for more info)

1. Set up an Access control in your Smart Objects.
2. Make up a user group to use with the Blog
3. Set up and place a blog object on your site, selecting the Group from the drop down list when in the manage dialogue window.
4. If you have a user group already made you can associate this to the Blog smart object by selecting the user group from the drop down list in the Access control manager and select manage.
5. Check the login/logout box and if you want anybody to be added to this group on signing up check the add new user on sign up - automatic.
6. Place your  Access control on your site either on your home page and/or on your Blog page.
   
   Note - When you have given access to users to post a blog you will have to instruct them to change the name of the poster (Drop down box at the bottom of the rich text editor) otherwise your username will be posted as the poster.
