Building an eZ publish site

odd hogstad	Friday 17 December 2004 6:55:42 am I have been through the tutorial, and one of the things that struck me was that almost all the editing was done through the admin page of the site. So I was just wondering, is this the only way to do it or is it also possible to create a site entirely by scripting files, or is some of the work, like create sections and assign templates to pages, bound to take place through the admin interface of the site? Thank you.

However, this will of course require a lot of time and effort 'cause you'll have to learn a lot about the core of eZ publish... Balazs
