Ive used it for 6 sites so far. Building out a 7th and 8th now.

Fire away although Im not using EE2 yet because the company doesnt want to upgrade to something thats in "beta".

from what I understand its quite different from 1.x. 2 is built on CodeIgniter whereas 1.x is php. From a CMS perspective I believe they work the same except that 2 has channels by default.

The syntax in both is very easy to get used to though, once you have the site set up its easy to put the pages together.

Few things to get you started

At the top of every page or include

{assign_variable:my_weblog="weblog-name"} {assign_variable:my_template_group="site-group-name"}

The make all the includes under the template tab and embed them like so

{embed="{my_template_group}/-left_member_resources"}

To pull content from certain categories: {exp:weblog:entries weblog="Onboarding" category="130|131|132|133|" orderby="date" sort="desc" limit="3" disable="member_data|trackbacks"}

Pagination code:

{paginate} {if total_pages > 1} Page {current_page} of {total_pages} pages {pagination_links} {/if} {/paginate}

As you can see the code is fairly easy to read. Dont know how much help I can be with 2 though, but if youve any questions let me know and Ill see it I can answer.

Sorry, you must be a member to post to a conversation. Either log in or sign up to get involved.
