Integration of a File Abstraction Layer into TYPO3
0%
Description
The project has been introduced at the Developer Days this year in Elmshorn.
The goal of the FAL is to provide an abstraction for the file system for easier usage of files, esp. with respect to Digital Asset Management. Additionally, this project would allow site owners to get rid of the uploads/ folder with is currently cluttered with lots of files on larger installations. There is also the aim to provide additional services around files, e.g. metadata extraction or file processing - but this is out of scope for this project.
This RFC provides the basis for the file abstraction layer, i.e. the basic functionality inside the Core and a system extension for enabling the FAL.
Additionally, there is an integration for a new uploader called plupload (www.plupload.com).

- fal_unittest.patch: Unit tests for the core parts
- fal_filelist.patch: Changes to sysext filelist
- T3X_fal: System extension for FAL integrationAdditionally, you need to put the plupload stuff from www.plupload.com into typo3/contrib/plupload/
