Re: [Zope] ZPhotoAlbum and images in general

From: "Steve Drees" <drees@the-bridge.net>

ZODB is a real database. It's a real good database.

I agree...

Aside from that, things you can look at are: 1) serving images from a seperate http server that is filesystem based. 2) using the localfs product 3) storing everything in an relational database. (oracle, postgres, mysql)

Actually, my port of ZPhotoAlbum to CMFPhotoAlbum removes any dependancies for image type, it's just a convenient folder presentation thingie. So your images could even be a mixture of Image, CMFImage, FSImage, EXTImage. Actually, I take it back, you have to modify a couple of lines, where it filters what kind of files it's presenting, but that's easy to do.
