These documentation pages are no longer maintained. Please visit the new documentation site.
An object like an article or a product can often be placed in several folders. A bookstore can have several books on programming and computers. A book about PHP programming could be put in a PHP folder. But it can also be put in other folders like Programming books and Computers. This is easily handled in eZ publish 3.
First you find the article or product that you want to publish in several locations. Click the "Edit" button and you will get to the "Edit article - article name" page. On that site you will find the button "Add locations". With this button you can add the places you want your article to be published in.
Click the "Add location" button. You will now get an overview of all the folders on your site. If you want your article to be published on the top level of one of these folders you select that folder by ticking the "Select" box. If you want to publish your article deeper down in the tree you click on the links until you find the location you are looking for.
When you have selected where to publish your article you will get back to the "Edit" window again. There you can see in what places your article is published.
To remove a location for your article click on the Trash can image next to the location that you want to remove. That's it. Your article or product is removed from that specific location. Remember to always have a main location for your object. This is the main place in the site where the object is saved. It can easily be changed by ticking the "Main" circle.
