Management

Asset management, content scheduling, inline administration....

Asset management
eZ publish provides a central repository where users can upload images, videos and other files. The items in this
repository can then be embedded in/as objects throughout the site. If you change a file in the repository it will
be changed in all the objects using it.

Content scheduling
Sometimes you want to publish/hide content on your site automatically at some point in time. eZ publish handles
both gracefully on a per class basis.

Content staging
Content staging means that you create content on one server and then move it to another server. eZ publish allows
you to do this using the package system. Any content can be exported to an XML package and then imported on another
eZ publish server.

Inline administration
eZ publish provides an administration back end where advanced users can edit the contents of your site in a
specialized interface. However, for less experienced users it is better to have content administration directly in
the user interface. You can achieve this functionality in eZ publish simply by adding log-in functionality to your
site and by adding edit buttons for logged in users with the correct rights.

Online administration
eZ publish can be managed completely through the web using the administration interface. The administration
interface is optimized for use with modern browsers with javascript. However, all functionality is also provided
for older browsers or text based browsers.

Package deployment
Using eZ publish you can package both content and extra functionality easily. You can import both the functionality
and the content on any other eZ publish installation.

Sub-sites / roots / multi-sites
eZ publish allows you to have several sub-sites within the same content tree. These multi-sites can be self
contained with their own menu structures etc. You can also have completely separated sites using the same eZ
publish installation.

Themes / skins
eZ publish allows you to import and export both templates and CSS styles. This allows you to build dynamic "themes"
that can be exported if you like. You can easily create your own skins by editing or creating a new CSS)

Trash
When you delete objects in eZ publish, they are stored in the trash. You can restore objects from the trash at any
time with the version information intact or empty the trashcan at any time.

Web-based style/template management
eZ publish provides a web based template and style management package in the administration interface. From here
you can manage all the templates and styles in your system to your needs. For more advanced users the same
functionality is also available directly from the file system.

Workflow engine
eZ publish contains a powerful workflow engine that provides the means to add business logic at key points in eZ
publish (so called "triggers"). The workflow system can also be used to add custom functionality or generic
functionality.
