Version 2007.1beta1 of the eZ Components has been released earlier this week. This release features a beta version of the Feed component. The downside is that there is almost no documentation available about this component, but I’m sure that is just a temporary situation that will be resolved before the final release.
Anyway, programmers are a bit like adventurers: to boldly go where no one has gone before. It would be a shame to keep this adventure for myself, so what follows is a small and simple tutorial that will show you how you can display items from an external feed.
There are two important classes: ezcFeed and ezcFeedItem.
Mit eZ-Components gibt es eine freie Enterprise-PHP-Bibliothek, die auf moderne Sprachfeatures von PHP 5 setzt. Dieser Auszug eines Artikels aus dem aktuellen Linux-Magazin-Sonderheft "Scripting 2.0" zeigt, was damit möglich ist, im Web wie auch auf der Konsole.
One of the cool new features in the eZ Components 2006.2 release is support for relation mappings in the PersistentObject component. This article will give you an introduction to the PersistentObject component and explain the new relations handling feature.
Previous releases of PersistentObject already allowed you to store and retrieve objects in a database. With the latest 1.2 release of PersistentObject, you can configure the object relations in a central place and benefit from using PersistentObject throughout your application. To aid my explanations, we will look at code from a simple example application. The example application makes heavy use of other components, such as UserInput and Template, but this article will concentrate completely on the use of PersistentObject.
The example application source is available for those who want to play with the code.

Among the additions to the latest eZ Components 2006.2 release is the Graph component, which enables you to create bar, line and pie charts. The output driver mechanism allows you to create different image file types from each chart, and the available renderers make the chart output customizable from simple two-dimensional charts to beautiful three-dimensional data projections.

Diese Session liefert einen Überblick über die Entwicklungen der vergangenen Monate im eZ-components-Projekt. Wir werden die vor einem Jahr gesetzten Ziele dem aktuellen Status gegenüberstellen und darstellen, wie sich eZ components bisher entwickelt haben. Außerdem werden die aktuellsten Features, die neuesten Komponenten und die besten Erweiterungen der eZ components präsentiert. Letztendlich wird ein Ausblick auf die zukünftigen Pläne erfolgen. Sie sind herzlich eingeladen, uns Ideen und Feedback zu neuen Features zu geben.
A few days ago I was asked to develop a simple script for a solidarity campaign. The idea is that people send their photos as attachements to some email. The script would download all images attached and insert a record for that in the database.
I got introduced to eZ components during my last visit to Norway to attend the eZ systems conference. I decided to give it a shot, and oh boy it’s just amazing, probably the cleanest and simplest API ever.
This article describes the template engine included in version 1.1 of eZ components. I analyze a simple application that, using the template engine, queries Google for specified keywords and then checks the rank of a website in the results. While I am not going to describe the entire application (which also uses the eZ PersistentObject component and some more classes), describing the template aspect of the application should give you a good idea of how the eZ Template can be used.
