Hi,
I've installed ezPublish to create an easy webiste (something like knowledge database). I've created three types of content: News, Article, Link with custom fields. I've created folders for those content (they are automatically displayed in site menu). I need help to do some things, especially information what files I need to edit:

1. I've edited main page and added there three objects usin WYSIWYG editor: links, articles and news (embed). All item are presented on list by title on mainpage, and I want to present news by other fields (date, lead). How to display that fields on mainpage?

2. In folders, on items list, items are displayed also by title only and I want to display more fields (date, lead etc.). How can I do that?

3. I've already edited file /extension/ezwebin/design/ezwebin/templates/node/view/full.tpl to add field name before field value e.g. <B>Tags:</b> tag1, tag2, tag3 (I've added <B>Tags:</b>). But I want to display field name only with seleted fields not with all. Could you tell me how?

4. I want to display on main page the most popular tagsfrom tags clud (e.g. 20 most popular). How can I do that?

Thanks for any help,

Regards,
Piotr

Piotr, hello and welcome to the eZ Publish Community!

To help you get started with eZ Publish, you might find the tutorial "Building an eZ Publish site" ( http://ez.no/products/ez_publish/documentation/building_an_ez_publish_site ) helpful. It covers the basic concepts of eZ Publish, such as how to work with templates, create custom classes and much more.

If you want to learn more about eZ Publish development (like creating new modules, extensions, or integrating with external applications) take a look at the developer documentation ( http://ez.no/products/ez_publish/documentation/development ).

The all-important technical and user manuals are available via the eZ Publish on-line documentation ( http://ez.no/doc ). You can also download off-line versions of eZ Publish documentation.
