Need advice for class creation

Next topic

Dan C	Wednesday 11 August 2004 2:29:20 pm Hi, I have a pre-existing php app I've created that uses a class that has over 250 attributes. I would like to create a class (or maybe extension?) for ezpub so I can access this data. I need to be able to search through it for certain specified attributes, and I also need a gallery display and a detailed display (templates). Where would I look to get information on how to do this? Creating a class through the admin adding 250+ attributes does not seem to be overly efficient.... any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I don't require the objects to be integrated into ezpub as nodes (theres over 50k entries in the db currently, the db is not associated with ezpub in any way, its a separate app, and i would prefer to keep it that way and just have ezpub access the data) Thanks, DAn

I think that would be the quickest and most flexible solution for you. I would not recommend creating a content class with 250+ attributes, this is more than it's designed for. --bård Documentation: http://ez.no/doc
