Getting all images in the ZODB 'out' into Apache-land?
Hi all, Hopefully the subject gives you the gist. I have a really good group of guys here who have been squirreling away images into the ZODB. Many images. Sometimes big images. All over the ZODB. I wish to save them from themselves and have these images made available via Apache :) Can anyone give me a clue how I might do this? The images are all over the place - I'd like to extract them into an external directory structure that I'll plop into Apache. They can then use a judicious combination of the Replace product (great product!) and old fashioned sweat to get the img src="" stuff sorted out.

Hi, You could use the catalog to collect the images, search for meta_type. Then create links to all the images and have a python script read them from your server and save them to the local harddisk, using urllib.urlopen or something. This script could also call manage_delObjects if you want to remove them from zope. Douwe

Thanks Douwe, That seems certainly doable - I'm not hugely familiar with catalogs but I'll have a look see. The urllib stuff, I'm pretty ok with.

We'll you don't have to use the catalog. a python method like: def printImagesFromObj( obj ): for child in context.objectValues(): if child.meta_type=='Image': print '<a href="%s">%s</a>' % (child.absolute_url(), child.title_or_id() ) elif child.meta_type in ['Folder',...]: printImagesFromObj( child ) printImagesFromObj( context ) I didn't really test it, but you get the idea.

Alternatively, use ZopeFind to get the urls of the images and feed wget with this list. No need to "artificially" build a html page with links. cheers, oliver

We used a different scheme - all images are stored in a top-level directory that is separate from the dynamic portions of the website. A simple sucker script can extract the images from that dir into an Apache dir. Apache then has a simple rewrite rule to serve the dynamic stuff from Zope, and the rest comes from disk. Works a treat. See also http://www.zope.org/Members/richard/docs/zope_optimisation.html Richard
