[TYPO3-dam] tt_news DAM connector: show old pictures?

[georg kuehnberger]

Hey Sven,

Having had a look at EXT dam_ttnews The function user_imageMarkerFunc in 
dam_ttnews is simply replacing the marker ###NEWS_IMAGE### with the DAM 
image; So you might eigther extend user_imageMarkerFunc with the 
original code from tt_news. Another option would be to modify the TCA 
and add the original image via TS see dam_ttcontent ext_localconf.php.

Being you I would migrate the records to dam, like:
- copy all referenced image-files to fileadmin/whatever and dam-index them;
- loop through all tt_news records, insert the filename matching tx_dam 
record into tx_dam_mm_ref and add the counter in  tx_damnews_dam_images
DONE; That would provide you with a clean DAM setup.
What you might have to do in addition is migrating metadata 
(alt/title... ) from tt_news to tx_dam, in case meta-data is existing 
existing;

regards georg
