Mik Kali	Thursday 24 September 2009 2:40:33 am I tried with Google as well as in the Ez Publish site to find "How do I customize Ez Publish blog layout" and found nothing useful. Other similar terms & strings did not give results either. So, how do I customize Blog ? It is missing e.g. number of comments for a blog post counter, latest comments in the side bar, latest posts in the sidebar etc. which are very normal and typical for blogs I have seen. So, how do I do it ?
Mik Kali	Friday 25 September 2009 8:42:52 am Does anyone have an idea ? I have found nothing in the documentation. Interestingly, search in the eZ publish documentation area gave the huge amount of 2 results to word "blog" I can not publish site like this, there are things that need to be there and currently are not in the blog layout. Or should I just like that notice, that of course I need to make that and that kind modifications to an override to xxxxxxxx.tpl with which is in in the directory aaa/bbbb/cccc/ddd/eee/fff/ Everybody knows that. Oh, and by the way, then you need to set that and that in the ini -file over there, then you need to know php and.... ???? What ????
Sandra Parente	Friday 25 September 2009 11:13:21 am You can find some templates here: /extension/ezwebin/design/ezwebin/templates/parts/blog Then modify blog.tpl , blog_post.tpl, comment.tpl in folders: /extension/ezwebin/design/ezwebin/override/templates/full /extension/ezwebin/design/ezwebin/override/templates/line Hope this can help you.

Mik Kali	Friday 25 September 2009 12:13:17 pm Yes... I found the files... Some undocumeted codelines (php I suppose ?) with no single comment anywhere. Any idea what those variables migt stand for etc. etc... Hmm... I am an 40+ engineer with background of leading technology projects worth of millions of euros, having software engineering experience in my early days and lead e.g. a mobile phone development programs, so I have seen a lot tech stuff, but this seems to be one of the most undocumented and unuserfriendly systems I have bumped into. Is this really the way you do the customizations ? When do you guys have time to do your daily work ? This is from Ez Publish presentation: "The ability to handle the distinction between structuring and displaying content is one of the key features of eZ Publish. The separation of content and design provides the following benefits: * Content editors and designers can work separately without conflicts" I did not realize that "can work separately" really means that you NEED to have both of these people on your paylists. Come on now, surely there is a better way to do these slight modifications? Or is there? Don't tell me there isn't...
