ezdemo: the demo design
This page is for anyone who wants to see a complete Exponential site, or copy templates from one. ezdemo
("Exponential Demo Design LS") is the demo website of Exponential: a design, settings and installer packages that show
what ezwebin, ezflow, ezwt and ezodf do together. It has galleries, a
frontpage and landing page editor, flyouts, a campaign block, RSS pages and a shop. Version 6.0.9 (2 October 2026) is
current.
It requires ezjscore and extends ezflow, ezwt and ezodf.
Use it
- Activate the extension as a design extension:
design.ini [ExtensionSettings] DesignExtensions[]=ezdemo(the extension ships that line). - Use the design
ezdemo(design/ezdemo; the extension also carries adesign/adminfolder). - To reuse a template, copy it from
design/ezdemo/templatesinto your own design extension. Do not edit the demo in place.
The scripts the design loads on public pages are the [JavaScriptSettings] FrontendJavaScriptList[] of its
design.ini: ezjsc::jquery, init_ua.js, handle_transition.js, toggle_class.js and eztransition.js. The
gallery, flyout and ajax search scripts (ezgallery.js, ezgallerynavigator.js, ezflyout.js, ezajaxsearch.js)
are in design/ezdemo/javascript/.

About 6.0.8: the galleries (ezgallery, ezgallerynavigator, ezsimplegallery) and ezflyout are jQuery modules
($.eZ.*) with the same options and markup. Transitions are CSS (eztransition.js); init_ua.js, toggle_class.js
and handle_transition.js use the DOM. design.ini loads ezjsc::jquery instead of ezjsc::yui3; the landing page
editor loads jQuery; a jQuery ezajaxsearch.js ships with the design; the ezpage tab styles use the .ezpage-tabs*
classes of ezflow 6.1.4.
Upgrade note: if you copied the demo's gallery or flyout markup into your own design, nothing changes for your markup: options and markup are the same, only the script behind them is jQuery. See YUI removal.
