webgyrl Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 (edited) I am considering using ezPublish for the next generation design of one of my sites. I was wondering if anyone here knew how hard this CMS is to skin? I am PHP "challenged" and only so-so at CSS and HTML. I am one of those Photoshop/Fireworks design and slice for output to Dreamweaver type people.... ha ha! Also, if anyone here has installed ez Publish and can give me their personal opinions on it, that would be much appreciated. Basically I want to develop a new site that has robust news and community features but I want the site to look really pretty. Edited October 26, 2005 by webgyrl Quote
TCH-Rob Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 Well, I have not used it but a quick Google on "ezpublish skins" gives a few results. I would say that with a tad of work it is possible. Let see if we have any family members that have tried this though and see how in depth it might be. Quote

When I did a search on Yahoo a few companies came up that have ready made skins... but they were.... well... lame! LOL I hope to create my own skin. Guess the only way to do is try.... Quote
webgyrl Posted October 27, 2005 Author Posted October 27, 2005 From what I can gather the design is DIV based CSS. Guess I better get crackin on the learning tip! Rob, do you know if this CMS is allowed on TCH Servers. I read some things about other CMS packages being resource hogs on shared servers. Who should I check with? Quote
TCH-Rob Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 Nat, From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EZpublish One of its drawbacks is that it is quite resource hungry, but the focus is different from most of the other cms: It's enterprise cms and there you need more resources I might shy away from that one, but that's just me.

webgyrl Posted October 27, 2005 Author Posted October 27, 2005 Yeah... been reading that it might be a hog. Would I email tech support to see if it's OK to use on TCH servers. So far I haven't found another CMS that has everything I want. EzPublisher is the best I've looked at so far. I would hate to do a design and then be asked to pull the CMS off the server because it was too greedy Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 It's doubtful that tech support could give you an answer other than respond as Rob did. Unless support knew someone else was running this cms they would have no idea. Quote

Well what I was going to do is play with it on one of my less travelled domains and then if I like it I was going to set it up on my main site domain when the time is right. I guess I will have to see what happens. Quote
