Does anyone have an idea ?

I have found nothing in the documentation.

Interestingly, search in the eZ publish documentation area gave the huge amount of 2 results to word "blog"

I can not publish site like this, there are things that need to be there and currently are not in the blog layout.

Or should I just like that notice, that of course I need to make that and that kind modifications to an override to xxxxxxxx.tpl with which is in in the directory aaa/bbbb/cccc/ddd/eee/fff/

Everybody knows that. Oh, and by the way, then you need to set that and that in the ini -file over there, then you need to know php and.... ????

What ????

You can find some templates here:
/extension/ezwebin/design/ezwebin/templates/parts/blog

Then modify blog.tpl , blog_post.tpl, comment.tpl in folders:
/extension/ezwebin/design/ezwebin/override/templates/full
/extension/ezwebin/design/ezwebin/override/templates/line

Hope this can help you.

Yes... I found the files... Some undocumeted codelines (php I suppose ?) with no single comment anywhere.

Any idea what those variables migt stand for etc. etc...

Hmm... I am an 40+ engineer with background of leading technology projects worth of millions of euros, having software engineering experience in my early days and lead e.g. a mobile phone development programs, so I have seen a lot tech stuff, but this seems to be one of the most undocumented and unuserfriendly systems I have bumped into.

Is this really the way you do the customizations ? When do you guys have time to do your daily work ?

This is from Ez Publish presentation:

"The ability to handle the distinction between structuring and displaying content is one of the key features of eZ Publish. The separation of content and design provides the following benefits:

* Content editors and designers can work separately without conflicts"

I did not realize that "can work separately" really means that you NEED to have both of these people on your paylists.

Come on now, surely there is a better way to do these slight modifications? Or is there? Don't tell me there isn't...
