Hi!
I want to make files from the filesystem down- and uploadable via browser.
It is needed for a python product. No TTH editing, dtml or zpt.
Which products are available?
A quick search revealed:
+ExtFile +ExternalFile
What are the pros and cons?
I'm using ExternalFile product for a while now and I'm quite happy with it ; it allows you to define links to files which can be placed anywhere on your filesystem, which files can be already existing or created on the fly throught upload forms. You can also make these files "behave_like" other products (File, Image, DTML Method or DTML Document), just to store these objects on disk instead of into the ZODB, but while still being able, for example, to catalog them easilly. I think ExtFile is referencing files present in a given subdirectory only, and provides less options with optional behaviours... Thierry
