I want to use ezpublish to run my photoblog (and weblog).

I have done the following so far, see http://vathanan.dk :
- Installed ezpublish.
- Defined siteaccess
- Did minor changes to pagelayout.tpl (plain theme)
- Changed template for full view of the image

Have any of you experience with using ezpublish as weblog or photoblog script? If so, please share your experiences and your code/templates.

And a specific question related to photoblog. What needs to be done in order to enable comments for images?

Hi Vathanan,

Nice set of photos you got there. If you want some inspiration on how to use eZ publish for a photography site take a look at:
http://www.soulfood.no

To enable comments you need to do the following:
* Add view of comments to the image template
* Add button to create new comment to image template
( both can be copied directly from the article template )
* Add permissions to add comments under images to anonymous users or registered users, whatever you need for your site.

Hi Bård,

Thanks. It worked like a charm. :)

I am familiar with http://www.soulfood.no. It is build upon ezpublish 2.x which is not so complex to work with compared to ezpublish 3.x. I have sites running ezpublish 2.x but I though I will give ezpublish 3.x a try. I am sure I am going to love 3.x as much as the 2.x releases when I get to know the system a little bit more.

But anyway thank you for your help.

Vathanan,

good that you got it working!

I hope your transition from 2.2 eZ publish development to 3.x development goes smooth. If you get stuck you know where to ask ;)
