All about the development of eZ Publish by Graham Brookins, 7x and Brookins Consulting.
Hello Fellows of the world of all things eZ Publish related.
Today, 7x restored through an tricky refactoring process and rigorous testing the eZ Publish Free Documentation Wiki called eZpedia had its SOAP Search Engine
Designed for network clients js, native, telegram, irc bot software to query the available documentation by keyword string based searching.
Postman
You can easy query our web service via soap https calls using Postman, read how.

Example XML Request Body Required
Here is a simple example of using the search with the minimum required parameter searchStr a string of any reasonable length or content. I like searching with full sentences most!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <soap:Body> <xsd:search_ezpedia xmlns:xsd="https://soap.ezpedia.se7enx.com:443/en/bcsoapsearch#search_ezpedia"> <searchStr>wiki</searchStr> </xsd:search_ezpedia> </soap:Body> </soap:Envelope>
This is the bare minimum in parameters required to get a proper response result but check out the documentation for bcsoapsearch extension to the nusoap extension for additional parameters and customize the code to your own use case requirements!
Example XML Request Body Supported
Here is a simple example of using the search with the minimum required parameter searchStr a string of any reasonable length or content. I like searching with full sentences most!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <soap:Body> <xsd:search_ezpedia xmlns:xsd="https://soap.ezpedia.se7enx.com:443/en/bcsoapsearch#search_ezpedia"> <searchStr>php</searchStr> <searchLimit>5</searchLimit> <searchOffset>false</searchOffset> </xsd:search_ezpedia> </soap:Body> </soap:Envelope>
This is the full supported search engine web service parameters as designed.
This solution is based upon the vintage nusoap extension (repo link coming soon) and implemented as a service using the bcsoapsearch extension implementation (very small, very stable, flexible).
Bots
We plan to implement this in the future as a Share eZPublish! Telegram Group Chat Bot based search solution!
We urge you to consider why writing web services for your website applications these days is vitally important and more often critical to your business.
Enjoy!
This is just too cool for words. It’s really coming true, SQLite Database Support equal to MySQL or Oracle but drastically cheaper in cost to get started quickly.
Have you ever wished to reduce your own database headaches with eZ Publish?
For years I’ve watched others developing with eZ and wished silently for the day when SQLite database driver support in the eZ Publish kernel and setup wizard would be generally available to end users.
I have grown from not just dreaming but stepping up, reaching my goals and making my dreams come true with hard work.
Checkout the newly refreshed installation process. We lightly refactored the default setup wizard to provide for a completely simple database selection choice and full installation support for site package data and site configuration used when building a SQLite driven database eZ Publish website, kiosk app or other unique use cases.
With this new feature of our software eZ Publish 6.0.1 (github/main;unreleased) you on need to install PHP, PHP Extensions (required by eZ Publish which now includes the SQLite driver which is painless to install using your favorite OS package manager). As a Debian advocate I recommend APT which is a time saver in life in all things. Back to the point after php is installed you only need to install composer! That’s it! Run the php built in web server and install a full working eZ Publish installation in minutes instead of hours or potentially days. This is a big deal for people who just want to use the software without having the requirements of a full web server or database server setup just to try using the latest version.
The quickest way to get started is to install via composer using the main branch of the project version control.
Here is to a new year full of exciting developments in eZ Publish History.
