Hi,
WordPress is a PHP-based blogging engine. The MU version supports
multiple blogs in the same database (as opposed to just one in the
basic WordPress app) I’m looking at writing some Rails-based admin
modules to interact with WordPress MU.
WordPress MU creates a separate set of tables for each blog. It does
this by using a master wp_blogs table and for each blog it creates a
set of tables named like:
wp_nn_posts
wp_nn_comments
The “nn” is the record id from the wp_blogs tables. So blog id of 1
generates:
wp_1_posts
wp_1_comments
What would be the best way to reference these models through
ActiveRecord?
Would it be as simple as creating 1 base set of models and then using
Model.table_name = “wp_1_posts” to point to the right tables when the
admin module is accessed? Is the table_name attribute safe to play
with in a multi-user environment? Is another way better suited to
this kind of access?
There are more tables than indicated above, I’m trying to keep this
post short 
We’re looking at potentially hosting 100’s of blogs so
I don’t think we want to create a distinct set of models for each.
Thanks for any advice,
Shawn
