Folder right column content

Olaf Fichtner	Friday 30 April 2010 5:57:33 am I just started exploring eZ Publish (4.3) and although the documentation is nice and (I think) I am slowly understanding the concept, I got stuck. I installed an eZ Flow site with sample content: http://dl7und.net/sd/ezpu/index.php?/eng The original "Conference" (now "Articles") page is a frontpage, on which I can easily arrange blocks - nice. What bothers me is what comes next: the folders, or better the right column (2-column layout) in them. There are "Top Stories" and a blog entry in that column and no matter how much I search, I can not find the place to modify the content (blocks) in that column. Could someone perhaps point me in the right direction? And btw, I suppose the same principle will apply to the blog? It seems to come preloaded with tags and archive in the right column...
Doug Brethower	Friday 30 April 2010 12:52:40 pm Welcome! The "Top Stories" in the right column, those blocks are edited within Home->Global Layout in the eZ Flow demo content structure. The blog right column and all layouts are created within the templates. Templates and how they combine is key to understanding presentation layouts in eZ. If you have much familiarity with template engines, a quick understanding of how eZ and the eZ Flow extensions work may come from setting debug to ON for everything except sql, load the pages and read the contents of the templates as they appear.

Olaf Fichtner	Friday 30 April 2010 8:34:00 pm Aaarrrggghhh, I always wondered what that "Global Layout" was good for, but never checked... Thanks! Yeah, it seems much can be done with the templates, so I will need to spend some more time on them. I only just started, and although I have been using PHP portals for a while, eZ Publish is a bit different, so I'm still a bit confused right now. But I have "debugged" before, so I'm optimistic... Thanks for the directions!

Welcome!

The "Top Stories" in the right column, those blocks are edited within Home->Global Layout in the eZ Flow demo content structure.

The blog right column and all layouts are created within the templates. Templates and how they combine is key to understanding presentation layouts in eZ.

If you have much familiarity with template engines, a quick understanding of how eZ and the eZ Flow extensions work may come from setting debug to ON for everything except sql, load the pages and read the contents of the templates as they appear.
