# eZ Platform



## What is eZ Platform ?

*eZ Platform* is a 100% open source professional CMS (Content Management System) developed by eZ Systems AS and the eZ Community.



*eZ Platform* is the 6th generation of *eZ Publish*, it is built on top of the Symfony framework (Full Stack).

It has been in development since 2011, and integral part of the *eZ Publish Platform 5.x* as "Platform stack" since 2012.



## eZ Publish vs. eZ Platform

This repository contains *eZ Platform* (formerly known also as *eZ Publish 6*) the next generation cms which uses the same Symfony kernel as *eZ Publish 5*, but does not include the legacy kernel, nor its library dependencies.

eZ Platform is where the new features are added.



The [eZ Publish 5](https://github.com/ezsystems/ezpublish-community) repository, mostly maintained for backwards compatibility, integrates eZ Publish Legacy.



### Abstract:

- **Very extensible** *You can extend the application and the content model in many ways*

- **Future & backwards compatible** *Strong BC policy on data as well as code*

- **Multi channel by design** *Strong focus on separation between semantic content & design*

- **Scalable** *Easily scale across multiple servers out of the box*

- **Future proof** *Architecture designed to allow even more content scalability and performance in the future*

- **Stable** *Built on experience building CMS since early 2000, and in production since 2012*

- **Integration friendly** *Numerous events and signals to hook into for advanced workflow needs*



### Main packages:

- **ezpublish-kernel** (building on top of **Symfony Framework**):

 - Content Repository with a highly flexible content model exposed via a Public API.


   Out of the box powered by SQL *Storage Engine* using [Doctrine DBAL](http://doctrine-dbal.readthedocs.org/en/latest/reference/configuration.html#driver),

   data cache implementation using [Stash](http://www.stashphp.com/Drivers.html) and binary file system handled by [Flysystem](https://github.com/thephpleague/flysystem#adapters).

   Improved *Storage Engine* planned, custom implementation for increased data scalability already possible.

 - Powerful (& extensible) Content Query engine, currently powered by SQL, soon Solr/ElasticSearch

 - Very high performance thanks to content & user aware HTTP "view" cache (now [using](https://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/FOSHttpCacheBundle))

 - Introduces concept of "web sites" allowing you to manage several within one installation

 - Allows to rapidly set up *Contextual override* of content display twig templates as well as controller based on Content type, section, and much more.

 - Helpers, services, events and signals allowing you to efficiently create everything from simple web sites to complex applications

- **PlatformUIBundle**: A modern, extensible "Backend" UI for managing content & administering the site



### Further information:

eZ Platform is 100% open source and is released as companion to a commercial *eZ Studio* software which adds advanced

features for editorial teams and media companies, 100% built on top of *eZ Platform* APIs.

### eZ Platform Demo

This repository lets you create a clean, empty installation of eZ Platform. This type of installation is used for developing from scratch. You can also choose a version of eZ Platform including a demo, that is an example website. It is available in the following repository: https://github.com/ezsystems/ezplatform-demo



## Requirements

Full requirements can be found on the [Requirements](https://doc.ez.no/display/TECHDOC/Requirements) page.



*TL;DR: supported PHP versions are 5.5, 5.6 and 7.0 (for dev use), using mod_php or php-fpm, and either MySQL 5.5/5.6 or MariaDB 5.5/10.0.*



## Issue tracker

Submitting bugs, improvements and stories is possible on https://jira.ez.no/browse/EZP.

If you discover a security issue, please see how to responsibly report such issues on https://doc.ez.no/Security.



## Running BDD

For instruction on how to run the functional tests, see [RUNNING_BEHAT.md](https://github.com/ezsystems/ezplatform/blob/master/RUNNING_BEHAT.md).



## Backwards compatibility

eZ Platform aiming to be **100% content compatible** with eZ Publish 5.x, 4.x and 3.x *(introduced in 2002)*, meaning

that content in those versions of the CMS can be upgraded using

[online documentation](http://doc.ez.no/eZ-Publish/Upgrading) to eZ Platform.



Unlike eZ Publish Platform 5.x, eZ Platform does not ship with eZ Publish Legacy (4.x). For Platform kernel use combined

with legacy, eZ Publish Platform 5.4 is the most stable choice, offering support and maintenance updates until 2021.

Alternative is releases of eZ Publish Community, latest as of Oct 2015 is v2014.11 found at

[ezpublish-community](https://github.com/ezsystems/ezpublish-community).
