    Why I cannot create blog for staff who is not under smjk.edu.my domain?

    The iSchool Blog is specially tailored for SMJK users i.e to teachers and students of the SMJK communities, whereby the user is authenticated with the account in Google Apps under the smjk.edu.my domain. Thus it is not possible to add an user outside the SMJK domain.

    However, you may create the user with a Google Apps account and give him the access as student or staff member from your school under the SMJK domain using the User Management ~> User Account ~> Create option on the SMJK admin panel in smjk.edu.my.

    New Plugin – Re-assignment of Post Author

    WPMU deletes all the posts and blogroll links upon user master profile delete request submission. With this, we’d developed a new plugin that will transfer the posts / links’ ownership from deleted user to blog owner / site administrator prior to the profile deletion. If the deleted user is the blog owner, this Plugin will re-assign the post author to site administrator. This Plugin is implemented to our products that are powered by WordPress engine ie iSchool Blogs and iSchool Contests.

    School Blogs Deletion Option

    We have provided School Blogs Deletion option and the priviledge is granted to School Portal Administrator or Web Administrator only to perform the function. To do it, please refer to our online documentation on How to Edit my School Blog?

    It is important to take note that once the school blog is deleted, all those users’ or co-curriculums’ blogs blogroll or links shall be removed.
