Multilingual and Multi Blogs is a complex plugin for the Bludit CMS. It adds a lot of features every modern site needs. This plugin created with speed and security in mind.
Here is a list of its features. Every feature can be enabled or disabled.
Multilingual mode allows running fully multilingual websites with Bludit, making it easy to translate pages, posts, tags**, categories, and themes.
Multiblogs mode allows running multi sub-blogs with Bludit. You can have a default blog and unlimited sub-blogs, for instance news, reviews, videos etc. Each language can have its onw sub-blogs.
This mode allows you to set a blog as a video directory, where you can have videos instead of posts (for instance tutorials collection, news and more).
e-Commerce allows you to have your own eShop with Bludit. You can have an eShop for each language.
Instead of having an eShop, you can still enable the e-Commerce mode and start sharing coupons, deals and more. It can grab the price details from Amazon, AliExpress and eBay, so you can have and a price comparison site.
Create, manage, and display advertisements anywhere on your theme. Define where ads should be shown on your page and Ad Manager will do the rest for you.

You can have your own comment system for Bludit.
For the plugin to work properly, you have to make a few modifications in your theme. I've ported a WP theme so you can see what modifications you should make in your theme. If you want to have only sub-blogs, you don't have to add any modification. Modifications are needed for multilingual mode.
Download the plugin from here. Copy the "Penscratch" folder into your "bl-themes" folder and the "sub-blogs" folder into the "bl-plugins" folder.
Activate the plugin, enable it from settings and you are ready. You can enable or disable every mode you need.
During installation, the plugin will try to find your language and add it as "Default". You can change the default language, in case the system made a mistake, one time only. I'll add a mode to allow you to change the default language in future release.
The plugins doesn't touch any DB file of your blog. It creates its own folder under the db folder where it stores its own DB files. You can enable and disable the plugin without the fear of losing your posts.
You can disable the plugin from its settings, so you don't lose its settings if you disable it through the plugin manager.
