    Basically we want to use top-level domains on the user generated blogs

    I looked but didn't see documentation on this. Am I missing something ?
    Thanks for your help

    By top level, you mean subdomain.domain.com or domain1.com, domain2.com?

    I haven't tried this, but you may be able to do this from .htaccess, *if* the domains are hosted on the same server under a subdirectory in the public_html (or equivalent) part of your directory tree. (It may be possible if hosting is on separate servers, but that gets into modifying a-records which I have no experience with.)

    Is it enough to just point the CNAME of domain1.com to the host ?
    and update the .htaccess ?

    That would be my guess, although I've not messed with cnames, so I don't know the details. I'm just not sure *where* you'd put the .htaccess. I assume with acts similarly to a symbolic link. In that case you'd have to put the .htacess in a higher/top level directory than the sym link.

    I just found an old post on the mail list, along with this ticket. So it looks like it may not be possible.

    -------
    unfortunately there are indeed strings on the databse that need to be
    changed.

    it won't be very hard to make a tool that achieves this and i hope to make
    one for the next release:

    Hi Dave

    You said above that you'll make a tool that achieves this. I want to use your great product and this will be a great addition. Is it available in the new download?

    Thanks

    Johan: Not sure where you got the quote from, but it wasn't me! So, don't expect me to be working on that ticket!
