Neil Kanth	Monday 02 October 2006 6:03:28 pm I would like implement the functionality of the, forum, gallery, weblog and corp packages into one (1) site. Since I cannot import more than one (1) package per site; is it best to import the <i>contentobjects</i> or create the <i>contectobjects</i>?? Also, when a <i>contentobject</i> is imported, should I have new folders (...files etc) created when similar folders (...files etc) already exist? Lastly, I will have several <i>sections</i>, one (1) for each main-menu item and I would like to have a different template for each, is it best to create additional <i>content classes</i> even though they would be similar? Thanks.
Claudia Kosny	Friday 06 October 2006 3:00:16 am Hi Neil I don't see a reason to create the contentobjects if you can import them. The few contenobjects I imported from the EZ website provided enough information during imprt to see what changes are made. In regards to the folders - I would say this is up to you. I don't like to have many folders so Iwould try to use the same folders for contentobjects that belong to the same topic. In regards to the sections I just would use override conditions to select the template. http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_8/reference/template_override_conditions/node_view_tpl Having additional content classes for similar content kind of defeats the idea of an template system to separate the content from the display.
