Patch for Plone. Don't raise errors for file contents with missing BLOB file
Project description
How to use
The BLOB support in Plone is amazing for a lot of reasons.
However, right now, Plone will raise errors when you visit a file content that use BLOB support, without having also the BLOB file.
I don’t know if this is good or not (I opened an issue related to this), but for developers this can be a little boring. It’s quite common to copy a production Data.fs for developing something using production data, but you don’t always want to copy all blobs.
This product monkey-patches some points inside Plone, so visiting objects that store content in blob-Fields (like ATFile/ATImage) without its BLOB available will not show any errors to visitors. Instead a file only containing the string “File created by experimental.gracefulblobmissing.” is created in the place where the blob-file should be.
Catalog
This product also patches the SearchableText Archetypes method, so you can reindex you catalog without errors.
Requirements
This product has been tested on:
Plone 4.0
Plone 4.1
