[7.0] Storage Media no longer available

[David Deluria]

Using Dec26 src code of OE7.0 on debian.

You are no longer able to configure documents to be stored on Storage Media (not database).

I was using the last nightly build available and it still allows users to define storage media (Knowledge>Configuration>Document Management). In the new versions you are only allowed to store documents on the database itself.

[Viktor Vorobjov (vicom)]

Yes. is not works. And in source Addons(document) deleted Storage Media code.
May be need get code from 6.1 and make new module for Storage Media.

[Ian Beardslee (ibeardslee)]

The "document" module description still shows the image of configuring the storage media.

The "document.storage" model seems to exist, although that may just be something left behind if the code was yanked from trunk.

Can anyone from OpenERP confirm if this was a deliberate and planned change in functionality or a side effect of something else.

Currently using 7.0-20130122-001415

[Ian Beardslee (ibeardslee)]

In 6.1, we'd discovered a bug that had the attachments being saved to disk without any checking for existing randomly generated names. We'd only got as far as generating an internal fix for this.

When the storage media is added back into the code (please?) we'll do a check to see if the problem still exists.

Looks like this revision is the one that made the change .. Antony, can you explain the reasoning behind this change?

Hi there!

Can we have an official status on this?

I don't think that customers will accept to be merged to 7.0 with the unability to store file on filesysteml!

Can we know if it's gonna to be fixed?

Thanks.
