Is it possible to export MySQL tables into EZ publish classes?
I have MySQL tables with data that was not created by EZ that I would like to be displayed into EZ publish.
I know how to create new classes in EZ but is there a way to populate these 'classes' with the data I already have on MySQL tables?

Hi Simon,
It is possible to fetch from database and display result in templates. You have to write new fetch function, it is not so difficult and well documented example you can find here:

However if you want to present data using objects, read this topic, and it will give you some light how create objects pragmatically:

You can also learn more from eZ publish book:http://ez.no/products/books/ez_publish_book
