Thanks for this great tutorial. It will help many newcomers to ez publish in creating their own modules and views and understand the ezpublish logic behind these concepts.

Just wanted to inform you that i believe you have the incorrect syntax when describing unordered_parameters. You have indicated they should be /key/value, whereas the correct syntax is (key)/value i believe.

Keep up the good work!
