Use of it as a CMS only?

Does anyone have experience using EZ as only a CMS, and using a homegrown PHP solution as the actual presentation framework? I'm assuming it has an API to do something of this sort?

It's sounds like a rather painful thing to do. ezPublish's templating is deeply ingrained in a lot things. You'd have to write a lot of code if you want anything beyond even the most basic things I'd assume.

But yes, it can be done. There have been threads lately about it.

I just want to store plain and simple content, and get it via XML for display on pages. Basically use it as an XML/data repository. If that can be done then all is cool :) I will install it tomorrow and play with it and see. Most of the CMS" I've come across are ingrained with portal/application framework stuff, which I don't want.

You should probably look into Apache Coocoon then.
