TYPO3 Core

Proposal for the configuration:

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['collections']['file']['types']['static'] = 'TYPO3\\CMS\\Core\\Resource\\Collection\\StaticFileCollection';
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['collections']['file']['types']['folder'] = 'TYPO3\\CMS\\Core\\Resource\\Collection\\FolderBasedFileCollection';
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['collections']['file']['types']['category'] = 'TYPO3\\CMS\\Core\\Resource\\Collection\\CategoryBasedFileCollection';

This gives the possibility to create your own collections types for example:

• recursive folder collection
• collection based on file type,size,creationdate,etc.
• recreate the DAM selections

Patch set 2 for branch master of project Packages/TYPO3.CMS has been pushed to the review server.
It is available at https://review.typo3.org/27257

To test the pending patch:

Add following to you ext_tables.php

/** @var $registry TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\Collection\FileCollectionRegistry */
$registry = \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::makeInstance('TYPO3\\CMS\\Core\\Resource\\Collection\\FileCollectionRegistry');
$registry->addTypeToTCA('mediaAlbum', 'MediaAlbum', 'storage,folder');

And this to ext_localconf.php

/** @var $registry TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\Collection\FileCollectionRegistry */
$registry = \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::makeInstance('TYPO3\\CMS\\Core\\Resource\\Collection\\FileCollectionRegistry');
$registry->registerFileCollectionClass('TYPO3\\CMS\\Core\\Resource\\Collection\\FolderBasedFileCollection', 'mediaAlbum');

Now you should have a extra type when creating/editing the collection types that behaves just like the folder collection
