ee 1.6.9 (considering 2, but not there yet)
I have a news site that displays the main weblog.
We would like to introduce separate weblogs for different cities and then allow the visitor to make a selection (radio button?) as to which city’s news he wants to see.  The weblog tags would react to the button selection.

The selection maybe could be stored in a cookie.

Is it possible to have such a function in EE?

You would essentially have to code this yourself, but yes it can be done..

I would suggest the following structure:

Create a Categories Group which contains all the cities.

News is then entered into the system associated with the appropriate categories.

Although you can do it natively, I would make life easier with an addon (Low Seg_2_Cat, you can search for it on devot-ee.com) then basically output a list of all the categories giving the user the ability to select one.

Then redirect to something like http://www.site.com/news/cardiff/ (for example) - and use the addon above to return all entries that match category ‘Cardiff’.

Sorry for the babble - but essentially the function *is* available in EE, but you have to code/build it.
