1. eZ publish Developoment Best Practices
   1. Develop with SVN, Release with Stable
2. Use svn as it has development / managment tools not available with eZ publish stable zip releases / builds.

1. Managing a production, beta, dev, alpha and post (development) environment and just how to move a new application / site out through alpha to dev to beta to production, ( and after first release ...) move the eZ publish application\’s database, var/ dir, settings/, design/, extentions/, packages, etc... (to retain the revised production runtime configuration (as tested and tweaked for optimium performance) in the next dev release out on it\’s way to production...
2. Return to Development (From Beta/Production/Post (w/descriptions)
   1. Alpha : Staging Server (open directory listing for quick dev / statick / basic proto)
3. Dev : Primary Development Server (All VirtualHosts + Admins)
4. Beta : Primary Beta Application Server (All VirtualHosts + Admins) :
   1. 1. Resource for Developers to release the application for build and installation into a separate staging server (/resource) for clients to review, test, experiment, aprove todate / total application revisions and their release / schedual for the downtime window\’s release of the application.
   2. Production : The Primary Production Server (Preferably a 1 - 3 httpd server pool, nas, + postgress db server pool)
5. Post : The Secondary FallBack Server ( keeps a hot running standby of the revisions depricated by production releases (automated moves), this data is for emergency / just in case / security backsups, not really needed or wanted untill something really bad happens to the production var/ or db resources)
6. Client Task / Request Managment Systems + Dashboard ( to direct clients to their managed resources, production-web, production-admin, beta-web, beta-admin, (for devs too for pm managment), websvn/viewscvs commit history, release history (per production release)

eZ Tips

• mysqldump performance tip, enable extra mysqldump options to reduce the time it takes to backup large databases into tar.gz backup files with one command. References: #1, AutoMysqlBackup, #3, #4
• (class builder / ezpkg) If your like me, you dislike creating large complex class\’s inside the cumbersome and slow eZ publish admin class builder. I suggest trying to create a class definition file by hand by creating a class-definition.xml file and package xml file entries and packaging up an ez package of your hand-created eZ publish class and installing it into your eZ publish installation for testing and use.
  • eZ publish offers several built-in R.A.D. tools ( http://example.org/news_admin/setup/rad ) (but i\’ve yet to find out just how they are usefull).
    1. Datatype Wizard
• Template operator wizard

I should be sleeping ... the tv won’t do it anymore ...

Things no one else has addressed (yet has been drop’d):

Apache Access / Error Log Analyser / Staticics Package : With Extensability to store log information into rolling log stats database ... per application ... with interoperablity to provide statistics information to other software constructs ie: back into eZ publish for stats template programing and dispaly.

2. eZ publish 3 extention : shop : customers who purchased $item also purchased $item(s) tpl container. see bottom
3. eZ publish extention : ircbot : wrapper for irc bot : a flexible solution to irc conversations / logs / entries into eZ publish. eZ irc log? Ref: eZ publish : irc agent
4. An xul/firefox extention to providing a replacement (inc, removal) of add bookmark with blog bookmark to preselected profile / selectable profile blogs (i have several), bottom line: the browser adds content to my blog’s incoming category pending my review / commenting / re categorizing / publishing. I bookmark to a webapp thats can be / has views with blog / deep tree hiegheracical trees. the bookmarks themselves are not bookmarks but bookmark objects instantiated on behalf of the client browsers triggers instead of a traditional web app ui, with the thinking. what i consume online is what i would write about, ie i want to write when i’m not in front of my blog webapp ui, in fact it usualy makes it harder to throw out subjects and come back to add to the bookmark ....
