I'm using the ExternalFile product:

because I need to have a file both in ZMI, as well as in filesystem.

I would like to ask if anyone can tell me how to get back the file that
ExternalFile was created from, having only the object? In fact I do not need
the file itself, but tha data (bytes) that were inside.


Do you mean, the file in the filesystem does not exist anymore? An 
ExternalFile is like a pointer to a file, it does not store the 
actual file content, so if the original file is not there you can't 
get anything.


Or, if you are asking about how to retrieve the (existing) file 
contents, look in the sources for the getContents() method.

Hi  :-)

I'm using the ExternalFile product:

I would be very grateful for any help.

a) why do you need access to *both* the file system *and* the ZMI for 
the same object?  (because ExternalFile (says) the external files appear 
as objects in the ZMI)
b) You want to get back the file that ExternalFile was created from, 
having only the object?  Can you explain that?  Sounds like Freud would 
be interested.
