Hi,
I have been trying to set up a 2-3 page website using Ez publish .. but with no success , gone through a no of tutorials and the techical manual .. most of them are either too verbose or too little. Can somebody please point to a neat solution where I can set up a sample application .. preferable with a DB access which explains the config files to be edited

Thx in advance.

If you specify a bit more on what you have problems with it would be easier to help out.

The problem is I have to build a website.. I have a protype of a website written in jsp. I want to do it using Ezpublish.

How do I begin ?? I have read the tutorials but still not sure..

There is some custom php code that will go in too.

To further simplify, I want to start with building a simple login /welcome page application

You have login page, enter user name and password, form is posted, information validated against a DB and welcome page comes.

No Style , no css at the moment.

Something of the type http://ez.no/ezpublish/documentation/building_an_ez_publish_site

But this is for 3.5 and I am using 3.9

Cheers

If you have set up your site with 3.9+ with the website interface and english language you can accomplish this by modifying the settings/siteaccess/eng/site.ini.append.php with the following settings:

[SiteAccessSettings]
RequireUserLogin=true

This would detemine that the user has to log in everytime thje website is visited.

What I mean to ask is shall I start by creating a new folder in 'siteacces' say 'my_website' and then writing files '*.overide.ini.php ' and then writing my own pagelayout.tpl and also specifying in the ini files which DB to use .. (as I want to do a login page)

If yes, how would I make sure that in the admin interface , 'my_website' appears in the siteaccess drowdown .

I did the above steps and was able to aceess something like

http://localhost/my_website

but was lost when I went to the admin interface as 'my_website' was not in the site access dropdown.

Could you point to OR list the steps reqd to setting this up..

I mean if I have to create new folder 'my_website' in siteaccess . I think we will have to create the same folder(my_website) inside 'design' and the 'var' folders.

Thanks..

This is controlled by a setting called RelatedSiteAccessList, its for setting witch siteaccesses belong to each other (use the same db).

[SiteAccessSettings]
RelatedSiteAccessList[]
RelatedSiteAccessList[]=mysite
RelatedSiteAccessList[]=mysite_admin

>I mean if I create new folder 'my_website' in siteaccess . That would also be created inside 'design' and the 'var' folders.

design ( [DesignSettings] ) and var ( [FileSettings] ) is specified in its own settings inside site.ini.append.php, so siteaceesses that are related(use same db) should share the same var and cache directory. This makes it easier if you need to clear cache fro the frontpage from admin siteaccess and so on.
