I want to say next things - I'm in despair!

I'm familar with EZ for half a year...

Community seems to be very big and doing stuff..
Tons of bugs are being fixed... product passed several stable releases..

I very like the Idea of EZPublish but!!

Most common sections like user and search modules don't have basic functions or you have to be an Einshtein to apply this..

Stuff with dates is undercover! it's "not documented yet"..

I've been waiting for DECENT documentation for half a year!!!! Is it too hard to stop typing code for 1 month and document what have been done??..

Where are examples?? this "Building site.." sucks!!!

When you need something more complex then math funcs you always have to dig heap of messages called forum and ask someone to help you...

Developers of EZ systems feel like being in a jungle at night!!

I suggest you guys to make a little stop with releases and write a decent documentation...

Without it EZpublish it's somebody's personal code for his needs...

Hi,

your're right. The documentaion of eZ publish is -espacially if your new to this- kind of frustrating.

I recommend the eZ publish book: http://www.ez.no/products/books/ez_publish_book

Even the book is a bit outdated (written for eZ publish 3.3) it's still very useful.

But maybe this links can help you, too:

Template operators (very helpful):
http://www.ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/incoming/appendices/appendix_e_ez_publish_template_operators

Template functions:
http://www.ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/incoming/appendices/appendix_f_ez_publish_template_functions

List of datatypes:

Thanks,

I'v read a half of that book... its good for editors..

Other links I'm browsing every day during last month..

Actually I thought at the very begining EZ would be EASY and will be saving my time... Now I've got it vice versa!... as deeper I dive in to it as harder to move there..

I have to say good bye now..

PS: I will save for code for upgrading my PHP skills. Personal thanks for everybody who contributes to EZ - open source is future for everything.
