raphael bauduin	Tuesday 29 January 2008 1:03:46 pm Hi, I am discovering ez publish 4, and installed it once with ez flow interface, and once with the ezwebin interface. Now I pretty much prefer the design of the ezwebin package (I'd like to base my website on it), but I could really use ez flow on the same website. The problem is that they seem to be mutually exclusive. A freont page in ezflow is totally different from a front page in ezwebin. Thanks in advance for helping me discover ez publish! Raph
Łukasz Serwatka	Tuesday 29 January 2008 11:32:47 pm Hello and welcome to eZ Publish Community. Everything depends how complex frontpages you will need and how complex publishing flow you will use. If you plan build website where frontpage layout and content does not change very often then Website Interface (ezwebin) is right choice.

Is there a way to have front pages from ezwebin, but still have the opportunity to use ez flow pages on parts of the website? thanks Raph

Łukasz Serwatka	Thursday 31 January 2008 12:16:49 am Hi, You can move media (flash player, recorder) to your ezwebin installation. Just export classes, move templates and override rules as well as flash module. Then add it to ezwebin installation. It shouldn't be so hard.

raphael bauduin	Thursday 31 January 2008 12:59:34 am It's really a pitty that both features (or their packaging) are mutually exclusive. It would have been great to have standard frontpages and flow-frontpages available for the same website. As for your proposed solution, I'm not sure I'll go that way. It might seem super easy for you, but not for me. and I'd prefer an install as standard as possible to lower maintenance efforts. That was also my primary reason to look at ez publish, as a lot comes out of the box. Raph.
Jianjun Hu	Friday 28 March 2008 4:03:00 am Hi, Łukasz Serwatka I'm interested too. Could you please expound the differences between <b>Website Interface</b> and <b>eZ Flow</b> detailedly? I didn't find where is the related documents. I submited a post on this question, but no response for several days. Could you please look at it when you have time? http://ez.no/developer/forum/extensions/ez_flow/questions_on_website_interface_and_ez_flow#msg161844 Thanks! ------------------------------------ OnlyBlue ☆．．·°∴°．☆°°．☆°． °∴ °☆ ．·enjoy star° ．·★°∴° ∴°．°★ ．·° 　ミ☆°∴°．★☆° ∴·° °．☆° ．·∴°　 Is it a pleasure after all to practice in due time what one has learnt?
