Paolo Tramontani	Wednesday 10 September 2003 1:32:53 am I'm setting up a site with news section and articles. I'm using admin access to design the site, create metadata, manage users and so on. When the site will ready some employees will publish news and articles (content in general). They will need a thiny interface with only the functions they need (insert news, or articles in particular sections). Does Ezpublish provide something to accomplish this or is it necessary to create a new site dedicated with templates, calling modules for content management and so on? Thanks Paolo
Paul Borgermans	Thursday 11 September 2003 2:07:04 pm No you can use some admin functionality in your regular site. The trick is to assign the rights/roles to your editors and create a few forms depending on the fact if the current user can create certain objects. Look in the admin interface templates how it is done (where you have the drop down of create .... ) It's easy. -paul eZ Publish, eZ Find, Solr expert consulting and training http://twitter.com/paulborgermans
Bjørn Kaarstein	Friday 12 September 2003 1:51:51 am I have copied the admin interface, named it editor, and stripped it down to a minium within the admin-templates. I've given it it's own siteaccess. I then run it from http://editor.domain.no where the editors can log in to edit their content. My full admin runs from http://admin.domain.no and is only for me. The site runs from http://www.domain.no. It's so nice to have control of your own server with full freedom to create subdomains :) This works fine on the smaller sites I've created, and minimizes the potential threat of none-technical editors messing up the content.
