Hi,
I have a pre-existing php app I've created that uses a class that has over 250 attributes. I would like to create a class (or maybe extension?) for ezpub so I can access this data. I need to be able to search through it for certain specified attributes, and I also need a gallery display and a detailed display (templates). Where would I look to get information on how to do this?
Creating a class through the admin adding 250+ attributes does not seem to be overly efficient.... any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I don't require the objects to be integrated into ezpub as nodes (theres over 50k entries in the db currently, the db is not associated with ezpub in any way, its a separate app, and i would prefer to keep it that way and just have ezpub access the data)
Thanks,
DAn

If you already have the data and just want to access it via search and display the data I would recommend that you write a separate module which accesses the data directly and displays them using a template. I think that would be the quickest and most flexible solution for you.
I would not recommend creating a content class with 250+ attributes, this is more than it's designed for.
