Hi.

I'm a noob to eZ Publish and I need to find some guides that will help me develop custom templates for eZ.

 I'm currently looking here: http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_8/templates/template_basics/node_templates

But it lacks programming examples. I need to figure out how to extract certain data from specific templates. (I know how to add new properties to nodes / templates)

Are there any good guides with example code out there?

 PS. This thread should probably be moved to the 'General' section.

Hello Steven,

You will get better information in the reference section of the documentation:
http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/4_x/reference/template_operators/miscellaneous/attribute

But to extract data from template variables you will need to do this:
{$variable_name|attribute(show, 1)}

although if your object is not a string

{$variable_name} for simple variables

Once you start digging into the actual php code, you will also be able to use:
http://pubsvn.ez.no/doxygen/trunk/html/

eZPedia, is also a good source of information, if you start writing extensions
http://ezpedia.org/

eZPlanet, is also a good place to keep updated with the community, since you will find a lot of code exemples on the blogs of other developpers
