eZ Publish is really beautiful and powerful for the new system, after 3 week to look around by myself (from beginning).

However, there are some challenges at the current time. I show here some of them and I hope that some of them are solved and if you known/used/developed it, please let me know the way to do...

- eZ Publish is more than a content management system, there is a forum is built-in. But at this time I see that many people use vBulletin as the default forum. Some system is running based on vBulletin and it functions are really powerful (if compare with the forum from eZ Publish). So the better choice now is using vBulletin as the forum, and eZ Publish as the content management system. And then there is a conflict between user database between two systems. I see that the hook system in vBulletin can help me intergrate user account between them, actually when user register, we can create corelative account in eZ Publish and update some important information: password. But so that, user must login two time in vBulletin and eZ Publish.

- There are not many demos or guides to use eZFlow and Website Interface. There is no demo or article to create a site style (could we call its name as: themes or templates?) from beginning, I still don't know the way to start by myself.

Thank you very much!

There are different methods to solve the single sign on problem.

If you ensure the cookies are shared across both sites, you can for example write a single sign on handler for eZ Publish that checks which user is logged in with the session cookie in the external app, and vice versa. I don't know about which possibilities vBulletin has there.

About eZ Webin, there is a customization guide here: http://ez.no/doc/extensions/website_interface
