[TYPO3-dev] Photodatabase with FAL + making it available with a FAL driver in a different installation

[Frans Saris]

Hi,

Please have a look at the Media extension. I used this api to create an
asset_repository for a client. Something similar to your photodatabase.
Images are uploaded raw and shown as thumbs with links to different
(rendered on request) versions/sizes of the original image.

I have no real experience with the FAL drivers yet. But it should
be possible to setup a storage thats a mount/link to an other server etc.

Let me know if you want some more info about my approach with the extension.

gr. Frans
