Hi,
I have an interesting questions as a new user/developer of the eZ Publish. I have already read certain material on eZ Publish. There are many information on how to customize the eZ Publish with the Webinterface to build a new site. However, my question is this: is the web interface suit for any kind of the CMS (assume we don't require an ezflow site)? I knew the basic steps to build a new site: 1. Content modeling (define contend classes and create content objects) and site structuring (construct the shape of the node tree). 2. Design the site's look and feel. 3. Tire the design and the content together use the template language (integration). Of course, above steps are not necessary following a restrict order; design and content modeling can be doing simultaneously. However, my dilemma is: If I based on the webinterface, there are already have a set of template, and have content classes I may can take advantage of (e.g. the frontpage class), and there are seem more tutors and guide on this. But, I need to based on the exist CSS and html structure, firebug is good, but there are so many CSS ids and classes, some CSS classes maybe involve with the content class. Is the webinface design can be changed to anything only through alter the two css files and images of the site style? If I start from scratch, the obvious disadvantage is that I need build very template and override rules/template from sratch, and know a new language, the template language. And advantage is that I have the flexibility and freedom to create the template markup. What you guys usually do when start to build a new site? P.S. I am actually a PHP dev, and use the template language seems odd to me. Are you all PHP devs? Are designer use the template language?(I always think that the designer should know the content structure when s/he start to design, am I right?).
