Hi,

I need to integrate several external application in a ezpublish site. The other applications are simply php/MySQL applications (one table, one list page to show the records and one edit page to modify and create new records). I understood reading several topics and article that the best way to do it is create my own extensions and module.isn't it?

Always reading a lot of topics and articles I understood how to create the extensions and module but all the examples I found deal this subject for the view mode of the data (how to show data from external database or external application). they don't deal the part to create and edit data.

For example
http://ez.no/ezpublish/documentation/development/extensions/building_an_ez_publish_module
is a tutorial to create an extension to show data from an external application

also hello world tutorial for module deal only the "view" data and not "create/edit" data
http://ez.no/ezpublish/documentation/development/extensions/module/hello_world

There is some interesting topic or article or tutorial where I can learn how to create my own form, validate data filled in the form and insert them into an external database.

Any help is very welcome ;-)

Bye bye
Luca

Hello,

You may want to create a custom content action/edit handler extension

You may prefer to create a custom module extension instead, there are examples of modules which provide the type of functionality your looking for. An example of this might be found in the ezadmin extension.

The first cow said, "I tell you, this mad-cow-disease is really pretty scary. Don't you think ?"
The other cow replies, "Hell, I ain't worried, I'm a duck !"
