RE: Re: specifying content types when uploading files with WebDAV

Hi,

You can do it on a folder type basis by overriding the Put method, code
below. Just put the method on your NewATFolder class, and then put in
the portal type that you want to override in the method.

Works with ftp, not tried with webdav yet.

Hope that helps
Cheers
Michael

    # from PortalFolder
    def PUT_factory( self, name, typ, body ):
        """
            Dispatcher for PUT requests to non-existent IDs.  Returns
            an object of the appropriate type (or None, if we don't
            know what to do).
        """
        registry =3D getToolByName( self, 'content_type_registry' )
        if registry is None:
            return None

        typeObjectName =3D registry.findTypeName( name, typ, body )
        if typeObjectName is None:
            return None
        elif typeObjectName =3D=3D 'Image':
            typeObjectName =3D 'Student Photo'

        self.invokeFactory( typeObjectName, name )

        # XXX: this is butt-ugly.
        obj =3D aq_base( self._getOb( name ) )
        self._delObject( name )
        return obj

Subject: [Plone-design] Re: specifying content types when uploading
files with WebDAV


hi nate,

i ran into a similar problem the other day.
i played arround crating a plone product which subclasses the ATFolder=20
and the ATImage. lets call them here: NewATFolder and NewATImage.=20
NewATImage is the only Content Type allowed in NewATFolder.

so when i crate a NewATFolder in my plone site and navigate to it via=20
webdav/ftp and want to upload an image i get an error cause the=20
registry points wants to create an ATImage.
is there any way to tell plone to create NewATImage Content Types when=20
to parrent object is a NewATFolder?

thanx christof
