Hi,

I have added coupled lines of code to turn activeCollab into a service. You can try by pointing your browser to www.blogsen.com

Please try it and let me know what you think ..

Again, thanks Ilija for the fantastic work ...

Very nice.
Are you creating more than a separate database for this and sharing files ?
Someone was asking about creating separate companies and it would be nice to see your scripting.

Cool...

Funny though how your service is in beta with alpha software :)

Looks great, what changes did you make to the code to get this to work?

nothing really fancy .. I started modifying the code to use one single set of tables but finally decided to wait the first stable release. I have only modified the installation script to use the same system configuration and changed the prefix of the tables to be specific to a user. As you can see if you have tested the service, I merged the system configuration and script configuration steps.
The rest is bunch of system calls (create the user directory, set appropriate permissions, ...).
Finally, the use of wildcard DNS made the use of hostname such as user.blogsen.com very easy.

I hope to get seriously involved in debugging this fantastic tool and work in parallel on building something more robust.

Blogsen - way cool.
Can you share the code with us?

Hi glimt

As soon as the stable release is out, I will work on building a similar hosted service and share the code with the community.

Blogsen - great, I will be looking much forward to this development.

Do you know if instant project setup as a hosted service is possible in Basecamp as of today (hosted with Basecamp as they only allow that)?
I have looked into the Basecamp API, but can not figure out if an elegant enduser automatic setup like yours here is even possible in Basecamp.

I run a service that will offer a instant project management tool for a narrow specific purpose, for many people.
