Re: [Slashcode-general] How to isolate sections?

[Blake C. <li...@li...>]

I think, if I understand you correctly, this can be done.
e.g. books.slashdot.org can have an author that only posts to that section,
as I do with wireless.lisnews.com
Adding a new section is under configuration, and then section
s(sections.pl?op=list)
You set the URLs in there, and don't forget to add that subdomain to apache.
Now as a user with a seclev > 10k pick a users page (e.g.
/users.pl?uid=2479)
In their options, you can limit them to a section in a drop down list.

Hopefully that's what you're looking for, I can't quite tell.
