What does it mean when you say 'served directly'?
David's sample code for blobifying was a good guide
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=midgard-dev&m=95684800219327&w=2 ), though
a few additional examples would be great too.
I'm feeling xtreme stupid on this, but maybe it's just common 'bed? don't
recognize the word... + who stole my coffe...' syndrom :)
Anyway, these are things I was thinking about:
- letting user download a blob. This should be easy, serveattachment should
do it, right?
- display blob in html page, say image.gif is stored as attachment. Same as
above, figured it out now...
html page says ie.:
<img src="/?displayimage=&(some_blob.id);">
and code-global says (doesn't have to be code-global, can be separate page
or whatever):
if ($displayimage) {
mgd_serve_attachment($displayimage);
exit;
}
When on this, what about getattachment in addition to listattachments so we
don't have to walk though all of them if we know what to search for?
Another thing, methods $object-><methodname> are not equal to functions
mgd_<methodname>. Underscore has to be put between words, ie.
mgd_serve_attachment(int id); and not mgd_serveattachment(int id);
So far so good, hopefully... I love blobs :)
And, is there a way to get a hold of location field of a blob? Say I wanted
to pass that to perl which would read the blob from the disk, parse it, and
send the result back...
