Additional installation of eZ Flow

Tuesday 17 February 2009 5:20:21 am

Hi there,

is it possible to add eZ Flow after having installed the ezwebin extension with the original installation only? If so

a) where could one download the latest eZ Flow package?

b) Is there a howTo for installing eZ Flow additionally?

Ron.

Gary,

thanks a lot for your reply. And thank you too for providing those eZ Flow packages. Do you have glue, why eZ does not provide such Flow packages by themselves?

Just to let you know, basically, I want to use the benefits of creating a dynamic front page with the eZ Flow classes. As far as I understood, this is what the extension is intended for. So, it might even be sufficient to import the appropriate Flow classes into an existing installation, rather than installing everything?

Ron.

Hey no worries.

I think these are the ones that are necessary

ezflow_classes.ezpkg
ezflow_extension.ezpkg
ezflow_site.ezpkg

I haven't really tested this method of extending the ezpublish to incorporate ezflow.

I think you will need to do some additional configurations after the installations such as

Perhaps for each file ending with .tpl in this case site_rss_feeds.tpl at this location
extension > ezflow > design > ezflow > override > templates > block you will need to do the following entries

Steps to do:
1. Updating the files at location settings > siteaccess > "your site" > override.ini

//A whole series of such entries to tell EzPublish that block views belonging to a front page object with name in this case ListRssAvailable should be mapped to block/site_rss_feeds.tpl

[ListRssAvailable]
Source=block/view/view.tpl
MatchFile=block/site_rss_feeds.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[type]=ListRssAvailable
Match[view]=site_rss_feeds

Assuming the package installations are successful
2. extension > ezflow > settings > block.ini.append.php

//Tells the front page content object to recognise that a block in this case by the type name of ListRssAvailable can be added in it.

AllowedTypes[]=ListRssAvailable

[ListRssAvailable]
Name=List of Available Rss Feeds
ManualAddingOfItems=disabled
ViewList[]=site_rss_feeds
ViewName[site_rss_feeds]=List of Available Rss Feeds

Hope this might be of help

Cheers
