Project Description

ExternalStorage is an additional storage implementation for Archetypes, to support storing the fields content outside the ZODB. It works in a fashion like ExternalFile or similar products.

Each field can use a different ExternalStorage instance as storage, featuring:

• independent repositories:
  • content from field_1 is stored in a place
  • content from field_2 lives at another place (disk/partition)
• flexible path policies:
  • files from field_1 uses an hierarchical path computed from the instance absolute_url.
  • files from field_2 uses a flat path containing the field content-type concatenated with the parent creation date
  • files from fields 2 and 3 receives fixed names, logo.jpg/jingle.mp3 and are stored inside a folder with the instance UID name.
  • files from field 4 call any method at instance context to get and even more customized name pattern.
