Hi,
I'd like to have a secion on my website with a similar structure as eZ's partners at http://ez.no/partner/worldwide_partners
In my tests I haven't found the way to do it in eZ publish 4. Is it part of the standard install or is there an extension available?
Thanks in advance
Raph

What about that mechanism would you like to have precisely?
Seems to me that it is a pretty standard content structure based catalog, that can be surely accomplished with every eZ Publish version and its built-in capabilities. If you don't see that, then I recommend that you study the documentation, otherwise it will be hard without basic knowledge of eZ and likely not to be a safe solution.
Good luck,Piotrek

In addition partner page uses also POST to URL transition. More info here:http://ez.no/ezpublish/documentation/incoming/http_post_to_url_conversion

the partner directory seemed to me to be pages with several attributes that are then searchable thanks to the top form and drop down lists.
This didn't seem standard behaviour, and I must say I haven't found yet how to achieve it by reading (some of) the docs. But it certainly depends of what we understand by standard.
I hoped to get a little more indication on the direction to take, like he POST to URL transition mentioned by Łukasz Serwatka.

The page uses a standard fetch function with some attribute filter based on view parameters.So you need to learn how to override templates, do a fetch, add attribute filters and work with view paramters ( the "/(level)/gold" url stuff ).
Most of these subjects are covered by this tutorial:http://ez.no/ezpublish/documentation/building_an_ez_publish_site

Raphael,
I only wanted to encourage you to go through the documentation and gain knowledge. By standard I meant covered by the technical and user documentation as well as not requiring any extensions or PHP. Also, at first I asked you about the details that you were interested in, as giving you a complete recipe would be least beneficial for you, in my opinion. That was my only intention and didn't want to make it sound like anything else. If it did - sorry.
BTW. I've read the documentation about 10 times now. Every time I discover some new stuff... ;)

Hey Piotrek,
don't worry ;-)
if after 10 readings you still discover things in eZ, imagine how it feels for a complete newbie like me :-)
However, I've come to the conclusion I won't be able to do it myself due to lack of time.
I hope to be able to announce the finished website here in the coming months. (you can already check the current version: it's the site of profoss.eu , spreading information about the use of professional solutions based on free and open source software)
Cheers
