Rainer Krauss	Monday 22 June 2009 2:40:57 am Hi there, I wonder if this is possible: There is an installation of Exponential and eZ Flow. We intend to import content to it. Obviously, I'll have to use PHP scripts and the API to do the import - please correct me if I'm wrong here. Our installation uses articles with eZ Flow blocks. From reading documentation, I know I can add articles via PHP and the API. Question: Is it possible as well to add blocks to articles via PHP and the API? Your reply much appreciated! Sincerely, Rainer Krauss
Heath	Monday 22 June 2009 3:02:55 am Hello Rainer, Yes indeed this is possible. Importing content can be complicated. Study the eZ PHP API while creating your script [0,1] While I've note done so myself I would believe you could use the very same apis to add blocks to articles. Seems these apis are located within the ezflow extension [3] Cheers, Heath [0] http://pubsvn.ez.no/doxygen/trunk/html/ [1] http://pubsvn.ez.no/doxygen/trunk/html/classeZContentObjectTreeNode.html [3] http://svn.ez.no/svn/extensions/ezflow/trunk/packages/ezflow_extension/ezextension/ezflow/classes/ezpageblock.php 7x \| https://se7enx.com/ Brookins Consulting \| https://brookinsconsulting.com/ Certified \| http://web.archive.org/web/201012...th.ez.no/certification/verify/380350 Solutions \| https://projects.exponential.earth/users/community/brookins-consulting eZpedia community documentation project \| http://ezpedia.se7enx.com

Hello Rainer,

Yes indeed this is possible.

While I've note done so myself I would believe
you could use the very same apis to add blocks to articles.

Seems these apis are located within the ezflow extension [3]
