This 49 minute screencast can’t help you earn stripes from a manager running your workteam like an Army platoon nor can it help you deal with that coworker who keeps stealing your lunch from the shared fridge. 

What this screencast can do is give you a complete education around ExpressionEngine relationships - from defining what they are, to looking at specific types, to comparing relationships to categories, to working with EE’s native relationship capabilities, and then working with two of the leading 3rd party relationship extensions (Playa from Brandon Kelly and Related Entries from Solspace). 

All examples are presented within the context of a portfolio site with clients and projects that need to be tied together.

How do you set them up with access and make sure they only see what they need to see - both so they are impressed with your work, and so that they don’t mess anything up by selecting options that you didn’t factor for on the site?

This 38 minute screencast is designed to help you best configure your site before giving your clients access to it.

Or would you like to build an extranet using ExpressionEngine?

This hour-long screencast covers the basics of offering members-only content on an EE site, and builds on the member extranet idea by showing you how to allow members to submit content via a limited view of the EE Control Panel.

Then it wraps up by showing how to implement workflow for those member submissions so member-submitted posts need to be approved before appearing live on the site.

Seriously…there’s weblogs and categories and global variables and the pages module and fresh variables and global variables and….aaugh!

What you are struggling with is how to design an ExpressionEngine Architecture, or EEA.  That moment of frustration is what this hour-long screencast was designed to get you through.
