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

[Christian Ludwig]

Hi Klaus,

It would be great if you could provide me the ExtBase extension you
wrote as a basis. Would you be so kind?

Thanks.
Christian

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://bitbucket.org/franssaris/fal_fe_upload/

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

Cheers Klaus
