Deane Barker	Monday 23 May 2005 2:57:54 pm What are the success rates in having eZ just manage PART of a Web site, not the whole thing? I have eZ running in a subfolder of the root. Everything works fine, but I want to have some URL transparency on the front side. For instance, this path: /News/.* Should pull this content: /ez/index.php/plain/news/ This rewrite rule... RewriteRule ^/news/(.)$ /ez/index.php/plain/news/$1 [L] ...did not work. I got a "module not found" error out of eZ. The rewrite log looks like this: init rewrite engine with requested uri /news/ applying pattern '^/news/(.)$' to uri '/news/' rewrite /news/ -> /ez/index.php/plain/news/ local path result: /ez/index.php/plain/news/ prefixed with document_root to C:/xampp/vhosts/cbc/htdocs/ez/index.php/plain/news/ go-ahead with C:/xampp/vhosts/cbc/htdocs/ez/index.php/plain/news/ [OK] It looks fine...but it still didn't work. I guess I have two questions: 1. Is there a more intelligent way to do this? The rest of the site is vast and is managed by a lot of other systems. I just need eZ to manage this one piece. 2. If RewriteRules are the way to go, can nayone show me examples that have worked? Deane
Stuart DH	Wednesday 25 May 2005 2:09:41 am Hi Deane, Dare I suggest that if you're only looking for something to run the news part of your site then it may be worth taking a look at a different CMS package. eZ Publish is a bit of an overkill just for news and as you've probably worked out already, with the lack of replies to your post, eZ publish doesn't have a big enough community to answer the various problems that you're likely to face along the way. My site uses Mambo for news, which is very quick an easy, although in hindsight I think that Xoops or Drupal would have been a better choice. There also many other OS packages that could fit the bill, from Midgard and WebEditor to the various news apps that can be found on Hotscripts.com http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk

I have eZ running in a subfolder of the root. Everything works fine, but I want to have some URL transparency on the front side.

For instance, this path:

/News/.*

Should pull this content:

/ez/index.php/plain/news/

This rewrite rule...

RewriteRule ^/news/(.*)$ /ez/index.php/plain/news/$1 [L]

...did not work. I got a "module not found" error out of eZ. The rewrite log looks like this:

init rewrite engine with requested uri /news/
applying pattern '^/news/(.*)$' to uri '/news/'
rewrite /news/ -> /ez/index.php/plain/news/
local path result: /ez/index.php/plain/news/
prefixed with document_root to C:/xampp/vhosts/cbc/htdocs/ez/index.php/plain/news/
go-ahead with C:/xampp/vhosts/cbc/htdocs/ez/index.php/plain/news/ [OK]

It looks fine...but it still didn't work.

I guess I have two questions:

1. Is there a more intelligent way to do this? The rest of the site is vast and is managed by a lot of other systems. I just need eZ to manage this one piece.

2. If RewriteRules are the way to go, can nayone show me examples that have worked?

Hi Deane,

Dare I suggest that if you're only looking for something to run the news part of your site then it may be worth taking a look at a different CMS package.

eZ Publish is a bit of an overkill just for news and as you've probably worked out already, with the lack of replies to your post, eZ publish doesn't have a big enough community to answer the various problems that you're likely to face along the way.

My site uses Mambo for news, which is very quick an easy, although in hindsight I think that Xoops or Drupal would have been a better choice.

There also many other OS packages that could fit the bill, from Midgard and WebEditor to the various news apps that can be found on Hotscripts.com
