Combining Genealogy program with eZ publish?

Monday 04 April 2005 5:26:45 pm

I wonder if someone has experience with using eZ publish for genealogy applications?

Actually, I think of the possibility to combine "TNG" (The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding) with eZ publish. My project idea is to build a genealogy database with TNG/MySQL with GEDCOM import. This may next be used ot generate reports for an "eBook" authored and published with eZ publish.

The interesting thing here is that TNG looks to be based on the same LAMP-platform as eZ publish, and both generate dynamic web pages. The following links are meant as related information (not spam!):

A couple of examples, Norwegian sites using TNG:

Constructive comments and suggestions are welcome,

Bård,

While the TNG license is "almost" free ($27), PhpGedView is another genealogy program that is GPL licensed. PhpGedView is similar web oriented and can typical run on LAMP or WAMP servers:
http://phpgedview.sourceforge.net/

There is also similar developed module files to integrate phpGedView with PostNuke.
http://phpgedview.sourceforge.net/modules.php

It is similar wishible to run these programs as modules under eZ publish, without the need to login extra to the genealogy programs.

Is there some kind of documentation and command examples for eZ publish how to do this?
