Howto Make an eZ site your own

• Delete all the content that is not your own. If you want to save the very handy Global Zone layout, leave it unchecked while selecting all other subitems of Home, click Remove selected. <image, eZ default content trashed> Then trash, empty trash.
• Edit the Home frontpage. Easiest to change layouts to trash the current contents and start fresh. OK to save the layout, but need to delete all reference to content by successively clicking the trash can icons on both left and right zones. If the global zone was saved, delete all references to content in the global zone using the trash can icons.
• If running an adserver, replace the banner ad js with js for your banner ad server. Do this before loading anything, and you won't have to clear cache to see the changes. If the banners have already loaded once, a clear cache MUST BE PERFORMED to realize the change.Details below..

Any time eZ-Flow is upgraded, it will likely overwrite these banners. Maintain a reference copy someplace safe.

<htdocs>/extension/ezflow/design/ezflow/override/templates/block/banner1.tpl
and ..banner2.tpl
****openads server on DD*********
<script type='text/javascript'><!--//<![CDATA[
var m3_u = (location.protocol=='https:'etc...etc..</a></noscript>
**************************************

• If not done at install, replace the administrator name with your own name. In the admin interface, upper right corner, Current User pane, click the "Change information" link text. Insert a real name in place of the administrator text. This will not change past postings, so the quicker this is changed, the more credit the author gets.
• Change the logo. Login to the admin interface (../ezflow_site_admin/) ->Design tab-> ”Look and feel”, click that text. Click the “Edit” button for the ez-flow site. Edit <eZ Flow> [Template look], change the settings to suit, upload your logo. “Send for publishing” when finished.
• Change the background graphic ../extension/ezflow/design/ezflow/images/page-bg.jpg
  
  Notice that ezflow - the layout, is an extension to ezpublish. From /extension/ezflow proceed into the
  design folder which has layouts for “standard”, “admin”, “iphone” and “ezflow”. The ezflow folder holds most of the layout info for the standard ezflow view. Including the page-bg.jpg. Overwrite this file, with a file of the same name, and the desired background. Be sure to check the file size! Try to keep it at or below the original, unless designing for fat pipes only.
• Change the site icon.
  
  ../design/standard/images/favicon.ico
  Upload a favicon.ico file overwriting the existing file.
  The change may not be immediately apparent due to caching. Clear caches or bide your time. Even better design would be an override, so the icon does not get overwritten by an eZ Flow upgrade.
• Change the "about" info. http://domainname.com/index.php?/eng/ezinfo/about

/design/standard/templates/ezinfo/about.tpl
/kernel/ezinfo/about.php

These two files combine to create the about page. Simply replacing the /kernel/ezinfo/about.php file with a custom file seems to work for the php. For the template, Design->Templates->Siteaccess-Eng, Click the Set button, then New override in ezflow extension directory named about.tpl using a copy of the original. Then an edit button is displayed that allows making changes from the original before saving as an override template.
