Site interface

These documentation pages are no longer maintained. Please visit the new documentation site.

The content of a site can be displayed (and modified) in various ways. This is possible through the use of multiple site interfaces. A site interface basically determines which particular design to use when accessing a site in some way. At the minimum, each site has two interfaces: an administration interface and a user interface. A typical example would be that the site administrator uses the administration interface to build and modify the site. The users have only access to the user interface, which simply displays the content in a nice format. A site can have several different interfaces.

Physically separating sites from administration

Is it possible to separate the sites from the administration, i.e. the administration is hosted on one machine and the sites on other machines?

This would be helpful for creating a centralized site builder that serves a web farm of sites.

Example of "Content Editor" site interface

I'm looking for an example of a "content editor" site interface. The "content editor" sees the same look and feel as the normal users but also sees buttons for editing the content on the page. The "content editor" never sees the typical site administration interface.

Can someone point me to an example of how to do this or is this interface already built into eZ Publish.

Thanks!

Default site interfaces

Shouldn't the default always be three interfaces?
1. Any non registered vistor restricted views and items. (Articles and News Items for subscribers only should not even be shown.)
2. An interface for registered users ( store, articles, etc..)
3. Administration (backend - work flow etc..)

In certain cases you wouldn't necessarily want a vistor to register and have access to all registered user areas.
