Codesmith resources - code-generation

I use Codesmith to create our code generation templates and have had success in learning how to use the tool by looking at example templates and the built in documentation. However I was wondering if there are any other resources (books, articles, tutorials, etc.) for getting a better grasp of Codesmith?

Have you checked the codesmith community site

We also have a great new collection of video tutorials available. You may want to check those out as well.

There is also a Google Code Codesmith section where you can download the latest updates of some CSLA, nHibernate and Plinqo templates.

Here is an interesting tutorial for building a data access layer using CodeSmith.

Depending on the templates you are using, we might have a separate website with tons of useful information like nettiers.com and plinqo.com. Also check out the help section on our community site.
We have also recently created a new WIKI (http://docs.codesmithtools.com) for all of our documentation.
Thanks

How to use GWT's editor framework?

I'm trying to learn how to use Google's Web Toolkit (GWT) editor framework. I haven't been able to understand how I can use it through the documentation. The examples I've found online were not helpful for me to begin with. I would like to ask if someone can provide a simple working example.
The book GWT in Action, second edition has a chapter about the EditorFramework.
The sample code is free to download:
GWTInActionSamples
You should find working examples in chapter 9.
You can also look at the following sites for further reference, good examples to get your hands dirty with! Might not be a full blown examples, but definitely a good read to understand the concepts!

Sample working CMS with Zend Framework

I'm looking for a sample project that uses Zend Framework so that I can see how masters do it.
I'm not looking for something that uses other stuff like smarty, or any other major library.
There are plenty of samples for different subjects on sites like zendcast.com but I need a full working solution.
I couldn't come up with anything like that by googling.
I came accross this a while ago, it has a sectoion on Central authentication
http://www.zend.com/webinar/Framework/70170000000bEs9-webinar-secure-application-development-with-the-ZF-20100505.flv
Here are the notes, look at page 9

Is this a good idea?
We are making a full open source CMS, based on Zend Framework: Centurion CMS (http://www.centurion-project.org/).
We are working on it since more than 2 years. The project is under the new BSD licence.
Feel free to try, use, pull feature, make some push request, criticize...
If you have any question use the our Google group: http://groups.google.com/group/centurion-project
Social Engine 4 is what you are asking for but its not free nor open source . The best application ever created using ZF has became even more popular then Zend itself (google trend) its known as "Magento". Its open source and based on best programming practices (design patterns) .
Social Engine 4 projects are built on Zend Framework.
Social Engine 3 used smarty but they decided to move to Zend.
Have a look at TomatoCMS
Pro Zend Framework Techniques: Build a Full CMS Project
I think this book will be useful for you.

Is there a grails plugin to create an online documentation guide?

I am developing a grails app and was wondering if there is any grails plugin available to create online manuals in both HTML and PDF version, something like:
Spring's reference docs which is hosted in both html and pdf versions.
Yahoo! PlaceFinder webservice guide
If there is not one available, can you please advise me on the tools that can be used to accomplish this.
The documentation is to be used by general public.
The Grails documentation itself, and some Grails plugins uses GDoc for creating documentation in both html and pdf. Something worth taking a look at?
There is work in progress for new Groovy documentation using this infrastructure, see https://github.com/pledbrook/groovy-guide, you might take a look at build.gradle there to get started.

Tutorials and resources on jqgrid and flexigrid

Am currently trying to use for the first time both jqgrid and flexigrid to make database driven pages whos backend uses Zend Framework.
I have been googling and the search results that turn up aren't very helpful.
Any links that can be helpful?
Sorry I'm not fammiliar with the Zend framework, but as per a useful link for jqGrid documentation I find this wiki to be the best.
Edit: This is also a valid documentation resource here.
The Demo page on the official jqGrid site provides a lot of good examples and the code behind them.
Well worth checking out as it covers most things you can do with it.
