Project Description
- Project resources
ReleasesFeatures :
The CMF product CMFExternalFile http://wiki.zope.org/zope2/CMFExternalFile was quite useable under Plone 2.0x and allowed us to keep the ZODB at a manageable size with several hundred of files and images uploaded by our students.
Unfortunately, this product ( as per revision 0.5) breaks Plone 2.5 in several ways :
- It is not written using Archetype architecture
- It breaks addition of any content by overloading the createObject method of CMFPlone/skins/plone_scripts/
- It does not return anymore the actual content-type but text/plain
The aim of this project is to fix these features to avoid manual deletion and re-creation of these objects as regular files/images on a migrated site.
Caveats :
Our purpose is only to give backward compatibilty to sites migrated from Plone 2.0x to Plone 2.5. The attached screenshot shows edition of an external file running under Plone 2.5 .
Administrators seeking for a new and more reliable solution for "externally stored content" should turn to CMFExtFile http://www.zope.org/Members/shh/CMFExtFile that requires only some tweakings at the template's level to be used with Plone 2.5.
Dependencies :
Compatibility :
- developped and tested only with plone 2.5.1
