Aldo Bucchi	Sunday 06 March 2005 3:03:23 pm Hi all, One of the reasons we have dropped eZp for major projects is the use of simple incremental IDs within the system, which leads to general portability problems and a terribly problematic Dev / Staging / Production workflow. Is the implementation of a Unique Identifier system considered in eZp's roadmap?
Łukasz Serwatka	Sunday 06 March 2005 10:43:18 pm Hi Aldo, In eZ publish you can use Identifier datatype where you define start value and incremental value. Every object of class can have own unique ID.
