Alex F	Wednesday 06 February 2008 2:07:18 pm Hi there, we're looking for a solution to store and work with several 100 XML documents. They all follow the same XML Schema. We would like to be able to edit them (with user management / permissions and revision control), export them to pdf (the full document and only subsets of it) and to plain html which can be stored and viewed off line. The killer feature (but not mandatory) would be a web based, XML-Schema aware editor which would only allow the document to be edited in such a way that a valid XML file is the result. At a glance, I think ezPublish might have the potential for that. Could you confirm that? How would we have to go about implementing this? Would we have to create our own Content Class, etc? Thanks a lot for your response! Best regards, Alex

Łukasz Serwatka	Thursday 07 February 2008 4:29:01 am eZ Publish has mixed data model, content is stored in XML format in database. ezxmlblock as content class attribute allows you store content in XML format and support input and output handlers. You can write your custom handlers that fits your needs. See settings/ezxml.ini, other alternative is to create custom datatype that handle that.

Hi there,

we're looking for a solution to store and work with several 100 XML documents. They all follow the same XML Schema.

We would like to be able to edit them (with user management / permissions and revision control), export them to pdf (the full document and only subsets of it) and to plain html which can be stored and viewed off line.

The killer feature (but not mandatory) would be a web based, XML-Schema aware editor which would only allow the document to be edited in such a way that a valid XML file is the result.

At a glance, I think ezPublish might have the potential for that. Could you confirm that?

How would we have to go about implementing this? Would we have to create our own Content Class, etc?

Thanks a lot for your response!

Best regards,
Alex

eZ Publish has mixed data model, content is stored in XML format in database. ezxmlblock as content class attribute allows you store content in XML format and support input and output handlers. You can write your custom handlers that fits your needs. See settings/ezxml.ini, other alternative is to create custom datatype that handle that.
