nigel dodd	Monday 01 November 2004 2:00:30 am Thanks for guidance. I'm keen to alter content data in the way EzPub was designed. Presumably, then, I should use a form rather than try to do it through the template language. The <i>Building an eZ publish site</i> tutorial shows how to add an object (guestbook entry class) from frontend interaction. It uses the content module action function (action.php) invoked with the NewButton sumbission. I've looked at the code and there is an equivalent EditButton. I want to edit the attribute value of an existing object. Is this documented only in the PHP file? I cannot find any other documentation. nigeldodd@blueyonder.co.uk
