Hi

Sorry this is probably a really dumb question. I am not sure if it is
not working or I just cann't figure out how to use FSS
I have a buildout that installs FSS

[instance]
eggs = iw.fss

zcml = iw.fss
iw.fss-meta

I also use the iw.recipe.fss to configure an instance

[fss]
recipe = iw.recipe.fss
zope-instances =
${instance:location}
storages =
global /
plone /plone site1

I start up the instance, create a plone instance called plone through
the ZMI, go into the plone instance and install iw.fss

All goes well, no errors I see the directories fss_backup_plone
fss_storage_plone created. The management tab for the fss
configuration looks okay, shows the /plone instance with a storage
strategy site1 etc.

I expected that when i upload a file or an image it goes to the
external directory fss_storage_plone but it does not, it seems to
still be going into the Data.fs file. I click through the Filesystem
Storage preferences tab and I see the following in the Migration tab

You didn't configure any content type with FSS. Migrating doesn't make
sense.

Although I am not migrating any content and this is a fresh site DO I
have to configure somewhere which content-type are to use FSS, if so
where do I do this, I thought I read the docs but I could not find
mention of this. There is some mention in the docs if you are a
developer and want to attach fss storage to your custom content-types.
But for now I just want to use the default content type Image and File.

Thanks
Steve

Obviously you did not read the docs - at least not carefully because
the documentation is pretty explicit and verbose about integration iw.fss with
content-types:

Hi Andreas and Martin

I have been away for a while so did not close this off.

Thank you, I did manage to find the necessary info after reading more
carefully.
In my defense as feeble as it may be - I did not read carefully the
Developer section. I do not consider myself a developer when all I
wanted to do was install a stable product and use the default plone
content-types. I would have expected to see this information in the
installation or preferably the configuration section of the
documentation. Not in the section labelled for developers,
consequently I only skimmed this section quickly.

Anyway it is working
Thanks for your assistance.

Steve

If your're looking for a large file solution for Plone, you may want to
consider plone.app.blob. It will ship with Plone 4, and is now
considered the best practice way to handle large files in Plone. The
latest version also works in Plone 3.

See http://plone.org/products/plone.app.blob for instructions on how to
install it.
