 * well im trying to make what seems to be a pretty complicated multisite environment
   and hoping someone here might shed some light on the subject!
 * First what im overall trying to do: make a register form where a user signsup
   with the standard info, but then also in some form (maby after registration) 
   should be able to upload a logo, change color scheme (child theme?), and add 
   a couple menu items + pages.
 * ya dont know how far ill get BUT my MAIN question at the moment is about editing
   the theme. how does it work if for example on the logo upload (which i dont know
   to do yet) but if i change functions.php to hook into a logo upload folder, well
   that rule will be global…i dont get now how to define different rules per user/
   subdomain, or if it even works like that??
 * thank for any hints in the right direction!!

 * The theme is common for all subsites.. But you could write a function in the 
   header to get a logo from the subsite’s uploads folder… WordPress fudges that
   folder depending on which subsite you are viewing… Maybe if you force a file 
   name and then put a relative link to the uploads directory you could make it 
   work?

 * No, the THEME handles that.
 * Look at 2011. When you upload a header image, it loads it in that sites Media
   section, and calls it from there. So I would try mimicing that.

 * ya i basically came to that conclusion myself
 * BUT, i found that the folder (blogs.dir/2(id of each site in order)/files) gets
   created only on an initial upload. so pretty much stuck with using the media 
   library somehow to create the directory right it seems?

 * You’re not ‘stuck’ using the media library (I recall someone once coded their
   header to grab header-%siteid%.jpg from the theme folder, but that meant he always
   had to add a header image for them). It’s just that letting the theme use the
   media library location is easiest for end-users. You don’t have to worry about
   it, since it’s supported by WP and is pretty solid.

 * ya i mean, if the first thing i want to on site registration is drop an image
   in /2/files/logo that directory doesn’t seem to get created untill i use the 
   media library to upload something. so then it seems i would need to a run a script
   to create that directory but might run into conflicts…. any idea how wordpress
   handles the creates of the dirs insides blogs.dir?
