Hi!

You can rewrite system urls like content/view/full/42 to /services. You can also use the URL translator for forwarding an old url to its new location. * Link checker * Via cronjob or manually, you can check external links for validity. Links are automatically extracted from any content and placed in a separate list. That way, a link only needs to be modified at one place to propagate the changes to any content containing the link. * Internal linking * The forthcoming release 3.6.0 ships with an enhanced internal linking system. It allows to move around content objects which are linked from within content without breaking the link. Find more infos in the spec: http://www.ez.no/community/developer/specs/improved_related_objects The related new version of the eZ publish Online Editor will provide a WYSIWYG GUI for simple editing of internal links. > Any suggestions for something that includes most of the features below > plus some form of link management?

SOAP in eZ publish? Yes, just like any cool CMS :) A generic XML import extension is available as a community contribution: http://www.ez.no/community/contribs. Building your own import module is not a big thing if you know PHP. Many more (not all) eZ publish features are listed here: http://www.ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/general_information/what_is_ez_publish/the_main_key_features_of_ez_publish Cheers!
