Question about eZ possibilities

Hi :)

1: cannot confirm for sure, I have not worked with the shopping cart in Ez Publish yet.
Guessing by the api I've seen of other aspects of Ez Publish, this should be possible.

2: Definitely yes, from the same database, you can create new tables in it and use the database objects or your own queries to retrieve the data. Not sure about the external database, that would be an interesting thing to check :)

3. Just a protected area within the site you mean? Seeing Ez Publish has a lot of options for user groups, their roles and policies etc.. this should be no problem.
See if these articles answer your question:

Good luck :)

For one there's an interesting article about creating extensions to Ez Publish, you might want to go through this to learn how to add functionality. In there is also a part where an additional table to the database is created and used.

Besides that, there's limited info in the documentation, API etc, most useful is to look in the filestructure of Ez Publish and find the php code there. At least the files dealing with the database also have DB in them. :)

hi :)

Isnt it a whole lot easier to create two types of users? One that can access part of the restricted area and one that can access everything (level 2) of that restricted area?
The user that can access level 2 will only have to log in once as well in this case.
