About this ebook

The book is a carefully structured, practical, step-by-step guide to overcoming the trials and tribulations of building an eZ Publish enterprise web site. Each chapter will be based on a three-layer approach. Firstly, it teaches the techniques and principles required to fulfill the needs of our site, then it goes deep in the CMS approach to fulfill them. Lastly, example code and step-by-step screenshots are used to dig deeper. This book is written for beginners to eZ Publish who need to work on an enterprise-level site with a complex publishing workflow. This book is best for people who want to use eZ Publish from scratch without hard-core programming skills. Even if you are not a PHP-guru, and you don't want to study eZ Publish core functionality – this book is for you. In general, however, you'll get more out of the book if you know a little PHP, have some concept of Object-Oriented Programming, and have a general familiarity with CMS concepts.

    Introducing the project

    This book will focus on the delivery of a standards-based enterprise website for a magazine adopting eZ Publish for the first time. The book will feature a single magazine project from installation through to completion and deployment of the eZ Publish website.

    The project in detail

    This book is divided into three main areas: set-up, creating content, and managing it. We won't follow a linear approach but instead will try to see what we need in any given area to accomplish our tasks and then, chapter by chapter, we will drill down into concepts when needed.

    Set-up: We perform a complete eZ Publish installation on a LAMP platform, where we will see how to configure the environment, and how to install the standard layout that we will customize in the other chapters.

    Creating the content types and structures: We will define the content and the structures that we will use for our magazine site. We will also create custom content for managing some deeper information.

    Managing content: eZ Publish allows us to do a lot of things with content and layout. In this area we will customize one of the standard and flexible eZ Publish templates that comes bundled with the Content Management Framework, in order to fulfill our needs. We will also set up some useful services, such as internationalization, site subscription, and a forum for creating interaction with the users. And, obviously, we will also create our site pages.

    What this book covers

    Chapter 1, Installing eZ Publish: This chapter will look at the processes involved in installing eZ Publish for the magazine project, including hosting requirements. The choices that need to be made during installation will also be covered.

    Chapter 2, Creating Our Site Accesses: What are siteaccesses? When we work on a customer site it is useful to have different environments available to show your customer what we are doing. In this chapter, we'll create some simple site access rules to manage these areas. We will also take a deeper look at what site accesses are, and how they work.

    Chapter 3, Defining and Creating Content Classes: This chapter will introduce us to the standard content classes of eZ Publish. We will also learn to create the required classes, for the additional structured content, as defined by the project.

    Chapter 4, Creating Content Structure: This chapter will look at creating the default content structure for the magazine, as well as adding some initial content, so that we can see the structure and layout of various default content classes. We'll also introduce the eZ Publish backend and its
