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

[Klaus Heuer]

Hi Bernd,

I migrated in the the last weeks a couple of extensiontables from "old 
image system" to FAL.

So my experiance:
Of course - at first - I feel a bit lost, maybe as you feel now ;)

But after reading some core code, friendly and  concrete questions here 
in the list with helpful answeres I manged it know.

The principle I use is to map the tables with old image fileds in an 
extbase extension and do the job inside an normal controller action.
This way makes it is very easy to define which fields (title, 
description, etc.) should be stored in the new file reference, in my 
case there were several other fields to consider.

For me this was a good starting point: 
https://gist.github.com/fsuter/5858132 and also this: 
https://bitbucket.org/franssaris/fal_fe_upload/

I think with both hints you can manged it by your own, otherwise let me 
know.

Cheers Klaus
