An Introduction to Developing eZ Publish Extensions

Most Content Management System requirements can be fulfilled by eZ Publish without any custom PHP coding. But sooner or later experienced eZ Publish implementers get to the point where a project needs some special functionality and it becomes necessary to develop extensions.

(This tutorial was initially published on 21/01/2008, and refreshed to match the 4.x series on 10/12/2010)

Understanding and developing fetch functions

This tutorial will explain how template fetch functions work and how to develop custom ones. It will also show you how to call them from PHP.

 

Adding custom security policy limitations to your modules

This tutorial will show you how to deal with custom security policy limitations for your modules. Once read, you will be able to fully take advantage of the granularity in eZ Publish's security and access control system.

Using a SSO in eZ Publish

Sometimes, during a web application development, you need to interface with your client's software(s) and/or websites in order to keep a common and coherent session within its applicative environment. To do this, it is often useful to use a special tool : SSO (Single Sign On). This article illustrates one way of integrating an eZ Publish based web application into an existing SSO architecture
