Overview

The tutorial gives a walk-through of setting up and understanding the simple example application that is included in the ZTal distribution. This included how ZTal is integrated into a Zend application, an example Layout, example View templates and translation. The tutorial should provide any developer with Zend Framework MVC experience with enough detail to start using ZTal immediately and also provides the foundation for further individual exploration of the example application (such as seeing how form and tables work).

The Tales section of the documentation covers all of the PHPTAL Tales that are provided with ZTal. They are broken down into generic, array, table and form specific groups with examples on how each is used.

The Form section explains in much greater detail how to integrate and use the ZTal Form support within your Zend app. The ZTal Form support makes full use of Zend_Form but offers many layout configurations within the ZTal macros (such as how you wish to present error messages) and this section will also cover the process of extending and replacing sections of the ZTal form support with your own macros.

The Table section covers the ZTal specific Table support that provides for tables a similar concept to Zend_Forms. Details of the classes, how to use and extend them are covered as well as how to use and extend the ZTal macros for rendering the tables.
