9 reasons to consider eZ Publish CMS for your next web project. Introduction With the recent refactoring of eZ Publish content management system as a full stack Symfony application it should be interesting for a broader PHP public to consider it as a content management solution. We at Netgen have been using it for almost a decade and would like to share our reasons why it is a good choice in certain cases. Before going deeper into the reasons why someone should consider eZ as a CMS solution, lets note a few disclaimers and audience filters: if the development team is really small or the project is just a simple web site then there is no good incentive to consider eZ. This post is about reasons why you should consider eZ, it’s not about praising it is an ultimate solution. Currently eZ is shipped as dual stack (version 5.* with new and legacy code) and this could be an obstacle to less experienced teams. 1.

Yes, it certainly sounds obvious for the readers of this portal, but its still worth emphasizing. eZ Publish was open-sourced before 2000. 2. 3. Social Media Management Dashboard - HootSuite. Migrating from eZ Publish 4 to eZ Publish 5: basic concepts. Tuesday 17 December 2013 3:21:41 pm Architecturally, eZ Publish 5 is not a simple evolution but a revolution. eZ Publish 5 is based on the Symfony2 PHP framework and completely changes how you develop an eZ Publish website in a powerful and fun way.

All versions of eZ Publish 5 take a dual-kernel approach that enables developers to work in both the “new stack” and the “legacy stack” at the same time. This ensures backwards compatibility and helps make the migration process to the new stack as smooth as possible. This blog series is for existing eZ Publish 4 (or eZ Publish 5 legacy stack) users who are familiar with key eZ Publish concepts and are looking at migrating to the new stack in eZ Publish 5. In this series, we will explore how to migrate your legacy stack extensions to the new stack. We will explain the core new concepts and highlight the differences when compared to the legacy stack. Preparation: the big picture New concepts Twig is the default template engine in eZ Publish 5. Schnitzlman : #ezpublish at Frankfurt Airport... eZ Documentation Center - Main - eZ Documention.

My Journey With The REST API v2. Part 1. These past days I've been playing with the REST API v2 in the scope of my project that is to implement an Angular.js (angularjs.org) Front-End for eZ Publish This blog post series will hopefully help you if you are on a journey to the Rild Rild Rest. Introduction First of all, let's talk about what led me to start querying this REST API I've beem hearing about for a while. I am currently working on an angular.js based application that is consuming data from eZ Publish exclusively over its REST API.

"Fancy uh" you might say. Actually this is more like a challenge and an experiment to me. Anyway, if you want to take a look at the foundations of this project you can check it out at fell free to clone, comment, PR or anything, It will be a pleasure. Well let's get to the point now. Roll Call : Configuring eZ REST API for Session Based Authentication In order to enable it, you only have to disable basic HTTP authentication method provided by Symfony2.

Return of The eZ Publish Show: From a forum discussion to interviewing new CEO. Friday 19 April 2013 5:14:27 pm Dear eZ Community, Earlier this week I posted a blog entry trying to trigger discussion about community engagement.

Some people did respond with good arguments and suggestions. At one point I suggested to make a Hangout about the topic and Peter Keung from Mugo suggested that Geoff Bentley should host it with Aleksander Farstad as special guest. So, Peter, it is arranged :) Although, you will need to stay up late, sorry How it happened? I contacted Aleksander, and although he is very busy man considering that he was announced as new CEO a week ago, we managed to find a spot for the hangout on Friday 26th 10:40am CEST. Few months ago I was considering to do some Hangouts but never found the time. So The eZ Publish Show series is returning with the episode #12. Rough agenda for The eZ Publish Show #12 Save the date and stay tuned on the Google+ page. Participants: Aleksander Farstad Nicolas Pastorino Robin Muilwijk Doug Plant Geoff Bentley Ivo Lukač.

Stuff and Content: New eZ Publish Puppet Module. In my last blog post I wrote about an eZ Publish Puppet module that I'd created that could be used to setup and install eZ Publish. Its been awhile since I'd done any work on it (and blogged for that matter!) And in that time both Puppet and Vagrant have matured considerably. I've also had more experience creating Puppet modules and managing systems with Puppet. I've decided to re-write the eZ Publish module from scratch utilising Puppets own modules for apache and mysql.

The result is available on GitHub and in the Puppet Module Forge. The overall functionality in the new module is essentially the same as the old one, but elements have been decoupled. This allows for the various components that make up an eZ Publish "stack" to be combined to match the desired architecture. e.g. a standalone system with the database and application on the one system to a clustered systems where different components are on separate systems.

Kaliop/ezbrightcove · GitHub. Working with eZ Publish 5 - Introduction - Partial Content. In early February, I had the opportunity to spend some learning some of the ins and outs of working with eZ Publish version 5 at a training event from eZ Systems.

Having developed for years in eZ Publish, I knew 5 was going to be a big change, but didn't really consider how much change would be involved. After digging in, I found that there's a lot to like about the new system. The goal of this series of blog posts will be to help current eZ Publish developers get up to speed. We're mostly focusing on developers already familiar with eZ Publish 4, but as long as you have a basic familiarity with the CMS, you should be able to follow along. The idea here is to provide a tutorial that will allow you to get up and running quickly with eZ Publish 5, even if you're a bit of a neophyte with Symfony (like me).

A lot of folks contributed in some way to the creation of this tutorial. Some Things To Clear Up eZ Publish 5 is a Totally New CMS eZ Publish 5 isn't a New CMS Wait, what? The Project. Upcoming eZ Publish Git/GitHub changes. Tuesday 29 January 2013 5:10:27 pm Now that eZ Publish 5 is out, there is a need to cleanup our Github repository naming to avoid future confusion for new and existing eZ Publish users. We plan to do this Wednesday 11:00 CET in two weeks (12th of February).

If you have a clone of an eZ Systems' repo somewhere, we highly recommend you to read on, you are likely affected! Update: This change has now been done, go to "Reconfigure GIT" bellow to update your git checkout of eZ Publish if you have one! The breaking changes will affect eZ Publish repositories only, and that is the topic in the rest of this post. If you use eZ Publish from Git (development version) then you need to do two things: Re-configure git settings If you are using “ezpublish5” or “ezp-next”; run composer update.

Specifically the changes will (also see the related JIRA issue for more info): A bit of background We have already discussed these changes extensively, but feel free to comment on this below or in the JIRA issue. 1. New_way.php. Planet eZ Publish.fr orbited by eZ Publish 5! Inexact siteaccess matching? eZ Publish 5 REST API internals - Netgen. This week saw a release of final version of eZ Publish 5 Kilimanjaro. One of the most prominent and advertised features available is certainly the brand new eZ Publish REST API. I know for a fact that support for full CRUD in eZ Publish REST API is one of the most wished for features in last couple of years. I’ve been honored to work on implementing the new eZ Publish REST API as part of Netgens R&D partnership with eZ Systems and the intention of this blog post is to give you insight on inner workings of the new API and give you some examples.

Specs First things first: for those who love a good RFC, eZ Publish has you covered. (Level 1) REST API is composed of resources for various parts of the API. Tech The new REST API is composed of two parts, PHP client and server. Server part of the REST API is thin, which means couple of things: It only has a handful of resources available, but those resources implement most of the features desired.

It has been a crazy few weeks (nothing but work) here at Netgen since returning from eZ UnConference #1, so I am a bit behind schedule with this post, but better late than never. :-) This year eZ Systems decided to change the standard eZ Conference style quite a bit so instead of having a big all-in-one conference both for developers and businessmen, from now on there will be two separate events.

The one hosted in Cologne on 17th and 18th of October was primarily oriented towards the developer community, and there will also be a second event in February for the business crowd. The style of the event was quite different too, and elements of the unconference style were introduced and mixed with traditional presentations given both by the eZ Systems crew members and the people from the eZ community. Conference style Both talks received a good response from the attendees, and you can check them out on slideshare and YouTube!

UnConference style Symfony2 training Conclusion See you all next time! Ilukac : eZ engineering team giving... Publish 5 Survey - What are your top 5 extension types? Publish 5 from a technical point of view, Part 2. After some weeks of extensive development at eZ engineering, it’s time to summarize a bit what has been done. EDIT: The eZ Publish 5 story continues with Real-life REST with eZ Publish 5 Full Composer usage One of the first things we needed to do was to simplify a bit the installation process. The previous install document stated about a git submodule pointing to another repository (ezp-next, where most of the code is located). It has led some of you stuck because, for some obscure git reason, the submodule refused to install correctly.

So the decision was made to fully take advantage of Composer. Upgrade If you already installed eZ Publish 5 the old fashioned way and want to take advantage of all recent development, here’s the steps to follow : Update your git clone (git pull --rebase) Remove all dependencies by deleting the whole vendor/ directory Install the latest version of composer (php composer.phar selfupdate) Re-install the dependencies (php composer.phar install) SiteAccess Matching.

Usually I start with the event itself and mention the location at the end. This time the location really deserves to be mentioned first. In my humble opinion Lisbon was a bulls-eye decision due to the beautiful weather (sunny with almost 15 degrees Celsius) while most other parts of Europe were covered with snow and under freezing -15 degrees Celsius :). It was a great pleasure to enjoy the sun and discuss the future of eZ with other attendees. Back to the eZ stuff. Before writing this post I referenced the summary post from last years eZ Winter Conference because the current CEO of eZ Systems Gabriele Viebach took charge few month before that event and Nice was her first general introduction to eZ Community. So it was very interesting to compare topics from back then and to measure the progress in some way.
