[TYPO3-dev] Migrate to FAL with internal_type = file_reference

[Christian Ludwig]

Hi,

bad news, but internal_type = file_reference is a core feature since
v4.3 and is commonly used by others (simply google for i. e.
https://www.google.de/search?q=internal_type+%3D+file_reference+uploads
or look at
http://blog.marit.ag/2013/01/16/files-ohne-kopie-in-uploadspics/).

So are there no plans in extending the Upgrade Wizzard?
Any other hints on where to start writing an extension or extending the
UW my self or is TYPO3\CMS\Install\Updates\TceformsUpdateWizard the only
place to beginn?

Until now I never worked with FAL, so I am pleased for any advice where
to find a good documentation that fits for my needs.

Thanks
Christian

Hey Christian,

ok, so you changed or some installed extension changed the tt_content
image field from internal_type file to file_reference?
This is not covered by the wizard. It assumes that image field type has
the type defined from the core.
Sory, you have to do the migration on your own.
Have a look in TYPO3\CMS\Install\Updates\TceformsUpdateWizard
Changing it back to 'file' would also not help, because the values in
the records (e.g. 'fileadmin/pics/dummy/090000-Ausbildungen-b.jpg')
are not compatible to this TCA type.
