Multiple Blog Confusion

Hi There,

I have managed to set-up a Blog using the Blog_App and Runway after following the guidance on your YouTube video.

I now would like to create a new Blog named News.

I have created a new Blog from Blog/Blogs and named it News.

I then created new templates (index, archive and post.php) under the templates/pages/news directory, in the same way as suggested in the Blog Video.

As the News items will have the same naming convention and pattern, I did not change the routing token in runway.php

'routing_tokens' => [
    'blogslug' => '[1-2][0-9]{3}\-[0-9]{2}\-[0-3][0-9]-[a-z0-9\-]+',
],  

With then new pages created, again I followed the same instructions, but, for my News post.php page, I changed the route to:

news/[blogslug:s]

to reflect the new structure.

Here is where the questions and issues start to occur.

My index.php page (templates/pages/news/index.php) as standard would return the first 10 items:

perch_blog_recent_posts(10);

but, as I only want items from the News blog, I restrict this and also, for good measure and clarity, call a seperate template.

perch_blog_custom([
  'count'      => 10,
  'sort'       => 'postDateTime',
  'sort-order' => 'DESC',
  'blog'       => 'news',
  'template' => 'news_in_list.html',
]);

This provides a listing of all the news items, but the title link still displays the format:

mysite/blog/2017-05-01-this-is-a-news-post

rather than:

mysite/news/2017-05-01-this-is-a-news-post

Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Ahh, ok, another penmny dropped. Under settings we only have one blog instance, which has the setting:

/blog/{postSlug}

Do I need to somehow get in here /news/{postSlug} as well.

Sorry, but I am completely confused as to how to get a multiple blog operating, if this is the best way etc.

In 'classic' Perch, I would just get Perch_Blog, copy and rename it all as Perch_News, instal and hey-presto, but I know that this is frowned upon !

I suppose I could do the same thing for Runway, but if Multiple Blogs exist, I would like to work out how to implement them.

Thanks,

Andy
