EEA Downloads ¶

EEA Downloads (Media Storage) mounts a file-system directory within ZODB

Main features ¶

Mounts a file-system directory within ZODB

Install ¶

Within your buildout define environment-vars per instance:

[instance]
environment-vars +=
  EEADOWNLOADS_NAME downloads
  EEADOWNLOADS_PATH ${buildout:directory}/var/downloads

Make sure that registered file-system directory exists and the zope effective-user has read access there:
```
$ mkdir -p var/downloads
```
Add eea.downloads to your eggs section in your buildout and re-run buildout:
```
[instance]
eggs +=
  eea.downloads
zcml +=
  eea.downloads
```
You can download a sample buildout from https://github.com/eea/eea.downloads/tree/master/buildouts/plone4
Install eea.downloads within Site Setup > Add-ons

Getting started ¶

Login to ZMI
Navigate to Plone > downloads

Storage adapter ¶

This package defines a storage interface IStorage that you can use to get generated files system paths and Plone related URLs. Default strategy of storing files is:

EEADOWNLOADS_PATH / UID / MODIFIED / ID.EXTENSION

Here is an example:

>>> from eea.downloads.interfaces import IStorage
>>> store = IStorage(context).of('pdf')
>>> store.filepath()
'/opt/downloads/uid-21323e2321312/3213213/context-id.pdf'

>>> store.absolute_url()
'http://localhost:8080/Plone/downloads/uid-21323e2321312/3213213/context-id.pdf'

You can always provide a custom IStorage adapter for your Zope objects if you need other file-system storage layout.
