I stumbled across this thread while looking for the elusive DB schema (am installing MySQL WB right now) Can I ask, of those of you who have run the ez DB thru MWB and have manually located and added (to "something") the table relations, would you care to share your findings? While I have read all the posts in this thread, I may have skipped a link posted to just such a thing, so apologies for this. On another note - while I agree with the issue of quality of documentation of template functions and the like I have to say that ez's documentation is *much* better than some other CMS's out there. We were stuck on Plone 2 for ages and the docs for this are shocking (They may have improved in Plone 3, I haven't bothered to look) written in an inconsistent format, over many websites in a varying quality of English (No offence to non-native English speakers - really :-) - my German is pretty basic and my French..well let's not go there..I can count to 3 in Finnish though... Compare this with ez's docs:
* On one website (two at most if you include ezpedia)
* In a consistent format
* Written at a level suitable for beginners and more experienced (subjective, but that's my own experience) * Nicely structured and actually very detailed I think an issue many people come up against is that they generalise over all the docs when it is on fact one or two things that are poorly documented. Again this is just my own opinion but I wouldn't want people new to ez or considering it to be put off by reading some of the posts in this thread (howsoever factual and *objective*) Sure, stuff can be improved, everything can, but there are ways, means and established methods for collaborating and doing this. Just my 2c worth :-)
Cheers all, Russ
