Kedar Deshpande	Monday 20 July 2009 1:19:14 pm Hi, I wanted to ask what the correct procedure was to add attributes to a pre-existing content class like blog_post. I can see that it allows me to add attributes but was wondering if this was ok and if these updates would work with an upgrade to ezpublish. thanks, Kedar

It is a bit of extra work, but it makes it easier to later export those classes via the packaging system and import them into other installations, where the standard content classes do not expect to be modified...
