Guidance Counselor Needed

Saturday 19 April 2008 9:19:49 am

Hello,

I consider myself a web designer with intermediate knowledge of html/php, but I am tired of having my hands tied regarding changes to code and creating truly custom sites with eZ Publish. If you were my 'eZ Publish Guidance Counselor', what would you recommend in terms of making a transition from designer to developer?

I have reviewed the listings of books available -- Which one would you recommend in my case? The books are a bit outdated and focus on eZ Publish 3 -- since I'm using 4.0, how much value can they provide?

What are the best free resources out there to begin my learning?

Thanks, all

Brian

You can also get some information there :

and

http://ez.no/services/eznetwork/development_guidelines

And specially the 'Standard' section which will provide more specific and harsh guidelines to correct development.

Cheers.

My advice would be to install the ezwebin (Website Interface) demo and then tear apart the templates to see how they work. First you need to get familiar with where templates are stored and how the override mechanism works, and then you can get into the template code.

There are many excellent examples of template code in ezwebin -- fetches, functions, calendars, object relations -- so you just need to start with them when building out a site to see how they work.

The PDF downloads of eZ Publish documentation are also excellent. Keep them local on your machine and search through them as needed for information and code samples.
