What time does it take...

Dear Members,

right now I stay in contact with a company that may want to use ezPublish as a intranet-tool.

They have some things they want to have implemented that ezPublish doesn't support in the base-installation.

I have to tell them how many time it would take to implement additional function and modules, so here is my question to you:

What time would it take to become familiar with the system? I'm a very experienced PHP-Developer and did a lot of code-reengineering in my carreer, so I don't bother to work with code that wasn't created by me.
But to tell how much it would cost them to set up the needed functionality I need a value with which they can work.

I know this is may be hard to tell, since one programmer understands things quicker than another does, but it would be kind of you to tell me from your experience.

Best regards

Thorsten

Hi Thorsten,

not a direct answer but describe what functions do you need. Some of them are perhaps in development.

Hi ekke,

the company wants to have

a) an address-database with searchfunctionality for different criterieas (name, prename etc., pretty standard)

b) an "Organigram"- Functionality. Organigramm is the structure of the company made visible with a tree-structure

c) Kind of document-magament - they have MS Word documents they want to put on the server and work on them - since the system will run on a Linux machine I'm not sure on how to implement this without the .COM-interface...

It'd be nice if you could say something about this.

Greetings

Hi Thorsten,

To become familiar with the system, I would say one or two weeks full-time: you will also have to learn the template language and discover some (hidden) treasures with the variables/objects/methods that can be used in the templates.

>a) an address-database with searchfunctionality for
>different criterieas (name, prename etc., pretty
>standard)

Easy, you can create a content class(es) for this, maybe one or two days including QA (no php programming, only templates). Best to implement based on the upcoming 3.2 release, the 3.1 is still too limited.

>b) an "Organigram"- Functionality. Organigramm is
>the structure of the company made visible with a
>tree-structure

Also easy to do with a few new classes (no php programming, only templates)

>c) Kind of document-magament - they have MS Word

Working on-line on MsWord docs is not possible, I assume they want some document management features for this? That's also almost standard in ez publish.

You may take a close look for the ez webdav library which will appear in the next weeks. You could develop a webdav interface for direct uploading within MsWord into ezpublish. That's something we want too (scheduled for the late autumn) if no-one else did it before then.

Hi,

You can perhaps use Openoffice, which can open most MSOffice documents. Works on Linux, Win, etc.
