It strikes me, from fiddling with themes, that the relationship between sites and sub-blogs is not quite there yet, some fundamentals don't flow properly from one to the other.
* To allow a common JavaScript to the site and it's sub-blogs I have needed to remove the armor field as it's not generated properly for the sub-blogs.
* List of accepted registrations needs to be set the same on all sub-blogs as well as the site to show auth-icons properly. It lets you comment using the parent site's authentication methods, but unless the method is selected in the actual blog, no auth-icon shows.
* Comment based templates don't show any comments when they are contained in the parent site and called using the <$mt:Include module="Comments" blog_id="$website_id"$> syntax
What is the real world use-case for having different authentication methods for the site and all sub-blogs individually? Surely something like that should be delegated to the parent site.
I'm guessing the comments template thing is a bug as most other templates work whether they are stored in the blog or the site.
Have i missed the point somewhere, or have these things been skipped?
i think we got it now.
