Hi *,

I'm new to ezpublish! I installed 3.3-4 yesterday and I'm playing with it. It seems very powerful but not easy at first!

Many compliments to the developers, keep up with your good work!

I'd like to ask a couple of questions to the experts, because I know what I need but I don't know if eZpublish can be set up to fulfill the needs:

- a news site with different sections (for example "Sport", "Music", "Computers"). (OK, this should be easy)

- users of type "Editor" who can write articles *only* in one or more sections assigned to them. The articles must *always* go in the moderation queue. The editors must not be allowed to publish directly.

- users of type "Director" who moderate/modify/approve/publish the articles written by the "Editors"

- ability for the articles to contain one of more images (even only one is ok)

- comments to the articles by anonymous users must go in the moderation queue

- comments to the articles by registered user can be automatically published straight away

- a banner system

- polls

- a newsletter system

Can ezpublish 3.3-4 accomplish this "out of the box", by way of simple administrative configurations?

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

I think it's a good idea to install the news demosite. This includes some of the things you aks, such as different news sections and polls. It's a great way to get to learn eZ Publish.

- a news site with different sections (for example "Sport", "Music", "Computers"). (OK, this should be easy)

It is. Create some folders (Sports, Music etc) and then go to Setup, Sections: Create some sections and assign the folders to the right section.

- users of type "Editor" who can write articles *only* in one or more sections assigned to them. The articles must *always* go in the moderation queue. The editors must not be allowed to publish directly.

Create some users using 'Users' and then create some roles using 'Users, Roles' to put them in.

- users of type "Director" who moderate/modify/approve/publish the articles written by the "Editors"

I'd like to know myself: Is it possible to have more than one person for approval of new items?

- ability for the articles to contain one of more images (even only one is ok)

Not a problem: The standard contentclass 'article' already contains one image. Add as many as you like.

- comments to the articles by anonymous users must go in the moderation queue

I think this can be done using roles.

- comments to the articles by registered user can be automatically published straight away

I think this can be done using roles.

- a banner system

Don't know about this. Try searching ez.no. It has been discussed before.

- polls

No problem!

- a newsletter system

Don't know about this. Try searching ez.no. It has been discussed before, I think. Also take a look at the Community Contributions. Perhaps you can find something there.

Hope this helps.
