Simon Caisse	Monday 28 November 2005 5:25:25 pm Is it possible to export MySQL tables into Exponential classes? I have MySQL tables with data that was not created by EZ that I would like to be displayed into Exponential. I know how to create new classes in EZ but is there a way to populate these 'classes' with the data I already have on MySQL tables?
Łukasz Serwatka	Thursday 01 December 2005 12:29:45 am Hi Simon, It is possible to fetch from database and display result in templates. You have to write new fetch function, it is not so difficult and well documented example you can find here: http://ez.no/products/ez_publish_cms/documentation/development/extensions/module/module_tutorial_part_1 However if you want to present data using objects, read this topic, and it will give you some light how create objects pragmatically: http://ez.no/community/forum/install_configuration/how_to_create_ezcontentobject_programmatically You can also learn more from Exponential book: http://ez.no/products/books/ez_publish_book Personal website -> http://serwatka.net Blog (about eZ Publish) -> http://serwatka.net/blog

Hi Simon,

It is possible to fetch from database and display result in templates. You have to write new fetch function, it is not so difficult and well documented example you can find here:

However if you want to present data using objects, read this topic, and it will give you some light how create objects pragmatically:

You can also learn more from Exponential book:
