This book is now in its fifth edition and, like aged cheddar cheese, is getting better with time. This edition is packed with the maximum number of pages that can be bound into a paperback book, so if you’re planning on taking a book to read on a subway ride, take this book and leave all the others behind. I’d hate to think that I caused some loyal readers back pain. Several changes have been made in this edition. First of all, many of the older tutorials have been retired to make room for the new features.

I’ve also included a new Quick Start that takes you through constructing an entire character and using the Character Studio tools. I’ve also made room for an entire part covering Character Studio and several other new chapters covering the new features. To make room for the new Editable Poly features, I’ve taken away a chapter covering Editable Mesh objects and I’ve split the modifiers into several chapters, making them easier to locate and use.

It is very popular among designers and developers alike, and has an active community of users. Sound good? Well, you're in luck—this book shows you how to use every aspect of Textpattern to a professional standard. Textpattern (and this book) appeals to two main groups of people: Firstly, the web designer who has mastered the fundamentals of XHTML and CSS and wants to create sites that have fresh and dynamically changing information, but is not familiar with server-side coding and databases. Never fear—Textpattern enables you to integrate your XHTML knowledge, inserting dynamic aspects into your already solid site design. Secondly, PHP developers who are looking for a content management system upon which to build additional functionality and want a hand with the design aspects of their site. Again, Textpattern fills in those holes. The book leaves no stone unturned. It starts by introducing you to Textpattern and guiding you through its very simple installation process. After the core features of the administrative interface are explored, the book dives into building sites with TXP, using CSS, articles, forms, pages, and more to create fully customized templates. Development follows next, looking at installing plugins and building your own custom plugins to further enhance your Textpattern-based site. The book concludes with several case studies to provide ideas and inspiration, including a weblog, an e-commerce site, and an online review directory. In this book you will:
  • Learn to develop websites quickly using Textpattern's intuitive templating language.
  • Learn to use Textpattern to build e-commerce websites, including customer feedback and reviews.
  • Learn to use Textpattern and web standards to create blogs and community sites with dynamically driven content.
