I am working on a project that requires a CNN like article structure, where there are main articles (published in a magazine 'volume/issue') and authors' blogs separate. The idea is to have official articles (gone through a rigorous editorial process) while allowing each individual author to make shorter, less significant blog posts. Both the main articles and the blog posts need to be associated with the author who wrote it.
EDIT: So imagine a menu that looked something like the following...
- Home
- Categories (for the main articles)
- Cat one
- Cat two
- Cat n+1
- Archives (for the main articles)
- Volume n
- Issue n
- Issue n+1
- Volume n+1
- ...
- Volume n
- Blogs
- Author one
- Author two
- Author n+1
- About
I've been working with Wordpress for a few years now, and I would love to adapt it to this model.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Would the solution be in custom taxonomies? Custom post types?
Summary of Requirements:
- Individual Author Blogs
- Main Published Articles
