I don't understand how functionality is extended outside of the framwork of ez. I am building a internet portal for travel, and I need to include my own flash developed picture gallery, and google map into ez. And I need to allow people to log on and have their own "space", where they can write a little and upload pictures and build these flash galleries. Is this even possible within ez? How to make it possible? Extension, module, or component. It's all a bit confusing. Would I need to make a component that i can select alongside "Article", "Folder" or "gallery"? Or would I select gallery, and modify it heavily with php? Do I just write PHP code into the text box in the article? Could you point me towards documentation or tutorials telling how to develop components for ez,or how to make certain pages behave in a dymaic way, such as showing flash content? JT

Check the Community/Contributions section, some of the things you ask for is there somewhere. Or in the extionson folders around the pubsvn.ez.no site. When it comes to the flash gallery you can make it as an override for the gallery template. and modefy it to read content from ez in some way. One of the ways to read that data is looping thru it in the gallery template thru the $node.children variable. eZ Online Editor 5: http://projects.ez.no/ezoe \|\| eZJSCore (Ajax): http://projects.ez.no/ezjscore \|\| eZ Publish EE http://ez.no/eZPublish/eZ-Publish-Enterprise-Subscription @: http://twitter.com/andrerom
