Great idea, and highly flexible.

My not so flexible, however instant, solution would be to use the 
phpmyadmin xml-export function on the table tx_dam.

And apologies if this question is posted in the wrong list.

The Update option is exactly what I was looking for, but now I run to a new
problem.
I used the DAM Tools  "Check Index" and "Check Uploads", then ran the
dam_ttnews Update feature again. Now everytime I run the update, the browser
is timing out after 120 seconds. I have relaxed several of the server and
browser timeout settings, but I still get a connection timeout error in the
browsers. I have hundreds of tt_news images that need converting to DAM
Image equivalents.

The script seems to keep running for 20+ mins on the server, even after the
browser connection has timed-out.

Unfortunately, I am not a programmer. Can the class.ext_update.php script be
modified to either return a partial result after 100 seconds or can some
data be issued to the browser to keep the connection alive?

Many thanks,
David.

Hi DAM-Team,

are there any plans, how the DAM-Extension will work with the new FAL in

Hi everybody,

 

Is it just my installation or is the Dam indexing progress bar broken for
everyone ?

 

I am running Typo3 4.4.4 and the progress bar always shows 0% progress while
the indexing is running (I can see the indexing is running correctly while
looking at the devlog).

 

I have tested on Firefox, Chrome, IE8 and the same problem occurs on the 3
browsers, so it doesn't seem to be browser related.

 

Regards,

 

Alban

Message-ID: <mailman.4047.1291892984.648.typo3-project-dam@lists.typo3.org>

Hey list,

when running an index check on the uploads directory, do those files get 
indexed (saved on tx_dam table) or is there something I need to set to 
get them in there (i.e. make them available for selection)?

Problem I have currently is when selecting images by reference from 
content elements, I don't get many of them (those which are not on 
tx_dam, just on file tracking table) and therefore the content is not 
displayed properly.

The site had a lot of existing images (~3500) which have to get indexed. 
Could be am just doing something wrong when trying to index them 
manually. To be honest didn't find a way to get a full index run 
applied, just the uploads folder checking. Maybe someone can give me a 
hint on how to index all those files properly for DAM.

Also the reference MM table is rather empty currently, when do entries 
get inserted there?

Cheers and best regards

Message-ID: <mailman.1.1291911240.28024.typo3-project-dam@lists.typo3.org>

Hi everyone, especially Dan :),

TYPO3 4.5 will introduce a File Abstraction Layer that will replace a 
part of DAM's functionality. As far as I know Dan is part of the FAL 
project.

We now have several issues in the bugtracker concering changes in TYPO3 
4.5. ATM we are working on two branches:

- Trunk is DAM 1.2dev, open for new features, requiring TYPO3 4.4 (or 4.3?)

- Branch 1.1 is DAM 1.1.8dev, bugfixes only, minimum (still supported) 
TYPO3 version 4.2.

I'm still not sure if FAL will replace the "filelist" sysext or if the 
user will have a choice whether to install FAL or not. Either way I 
think there will be fundamental changes necessary to continue working 
with DAM.

What are the plans for DAM 1.1 and 1.2. Is there a roadmap for DAM 1.2?

What are the plans for DAM on TYPO3 4.5? Will there be a completely new 
extension or should we start fixing the 4.5 issues in DAM trunk?


Thanks for your information.

Thanks for bringing this up Lorenz,

At this moment there is some uncertainty as to the way that FAL will be 
integrated with the core - if it will be part of the core, available as 
a system extension, or as a regular TER extension. There is also some 
question about FAL's future evolution. Once that is decided, we will 
know how DAM releases should be structured to take advantage of FAL with 
maximum support for non-FAL installations.

As far as 4.5 support - there will be releases that are compatible with 
4.5, probably when 4.5 goes into RC stage.

Hope this clears it up a bit.

It will be integrated, and hopefully will drive the development of some 
non-essential features in FAL as time goes on. If you'd like to get 
involved, let us know!

It's not yet sure that FAL will indeed be part of 4.5, so we can't 
really bet on it. OTOH DAM 1.2 is long overdue IMO. So I would propose 
to try and roll out 1.2 as soon as possible with all the necessary fixes 
for 4.5, but *without* FAL even if it makes it into 4.5 (I hope that 
would be possible). Then work could start on DAM 1.3 or 2.0, which would 
incorporate FAL. I'm afraid that trying to build FAL support into the 
DAM will push back a new version to some very late future, especially 
given the very low recent activity in DAM development (no reproaches, 
just a fact).

I'm not part of the team, so that's just my opinion ;-)

Heyla Francois,

DAM development never really took of. The 'team' basically does maintenance.
There is a lot of work being done for FAL atm. After FAL is more or less
finished it makes sense to review DAM and have scheduled meetings like we have
with many projects now to ensure development.

I think your suggestion to roll at DAM 1.2 with fixes for 4.5 is a very good
one. I have no idea what the current issues regarding 4.5 are.

@Dan: Do you have an overview of what needs to be done to get DAM ready for 4.5?
We could put some effort into that.

gRTz

Yes, the problem is that there's a maximum of 6-10 people fixing bugs 
and doing reviews. And even if someone is doing patches it takes a while 
to get reviews.

The current issues for TYPO3 4.5 without FAL can be found in the 
bugtracker. It's not much, but I just want to know if DAM 1.2 will be 
for 4.5 without FAL and then I can help bringing it to the DAM list.

I like the idea of having DAM 1.1.x for 4.2-4.4, DAM 1.2 for 4.5 without 
FAL and DAM 1.3/2.0 for extending FAL. I'm very interested in the TYPO3 
4.5 features for our university, but we need to make sure that DAM will 
not be an "update blocker"...


Best regards,


Lorenz

Subject: [TYPO3-dam]  clean filenames at file upload on Windows
Message-ID: <mailman.1.1293548913.24417.typo3-project-dam@lists.typo3.org>

Hello,

-------------- Short version ----------------
Is there an option to clean the filenames with umlauts and other special 
characters generated basically on Windows file system, that I can use 
with DAM, so that the file-names would be stored in ASCII, while 
original file-name with special characters would go into "title" meta?

Best,
Mario

-------------- Long version (optional) -----------------

I've come across a problem with accented filenames on Windows system and 
I hope somebody has a solution to it.

I'm using DAM for file management and complete UTF-8 setup (all DB 
server connections and Typo3 setup as well: force charset and utf8 
filesystem). The underlaying OS is Windows (2008 R2 server) and I 
believe this is where the problem lies.

I experience a "two-way" problem -- here's the scenario:
1. When I upload the file with special characters (umlauts, for 
instance) with DAM, the filename is not readable using Windows Explorer, 
all umlauts and other special characters get strange multi-byte strings 
represented as single-byte, while DAM title is correctly displayed.

2. When the file with umlauts and other characters is created directly 
with Windows Explorer, and I'd like to index it with DAM, special 
characters are not visible in file browser. There are question marks 
instead.

I tried to disable UTF8filesystem, setting it to 0, as Krystian 
Szymukowicz pointed out in one of his previous posts, but it didn't help 
here. He also said modifying the 
"binding/tce/class.tx_dam_tce_extfilefunc.php" file at line 328 and 
enabling "cleanFileName" function would help, but I haven't tested it 
yet, as the post is old and I don't think it's wise to modify the core 
files.

There are no problems on Linux as the filesystem is entirely in utf-8, 
but since I have to use Windows, I'd like to clean filenames at upload, 
to solve the problem.

Does anyone have a suggestion about the right approach here, and are 
there already any configuration settings available I can use to solve 
the problem with filenames on Windows?

Best,
Mario

Hi,

I usually move files to new location, then use DAM Indexer, to index 
files (maybe a new plugin is needed for that, dam_cat, please check DAM 
manual).

A note about Windows system: I experience problems with special 
characters in filenames on Windows, since Windows filenames are not 
utf-8 as on Linux.

Best,
Mario

I've just applied a patch from the:
http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=12360
and it solves the problem, except I didn't know how to set new 
parameter: mod.txdamM1_SHARED.systemCleanFileName, so I just removed 
condition from patch.

Does anyone know how or where to set this new parameter?

Best,
Mario

Yes. You need to set it in TSconfig of the Media sysfolder (where all 
the DAM records are stored). Depending on the configuration in the 
extension manager it may be hidden.

If the patch works for you, please post that to the bugtracker together 
with the charset you're using. I've had some problems with non UTF-8 
systems and would be interested if I'm the only one.

I've some other issues assigned to me ATM but I hope I will find the 
time to bring it to the DAM team list, in the version that enables 
cleanFileNames also for the Flash uploader.


Best regards,


Lorenz

Bart,

Attached to http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=4845 you'll find a 
rudimentary migration script
     p2_migrate2dam.zip [^] (248,988 bytes) 02.08.10 16:35
It worked for us in 2007,
no guarantee it will work 100% with recent T3 & DAM Versions.
hth, regards g

Hi Lorenz,

Thanks for the feedback, I'll check the Media Sysfolder TSconfig asap. I 
can confirm the patch is working, but before I post the confirmation to 
the bug tracker, I'd like to ask you what do you mean with "non utf-8 
system" -- is it a "file-system" or "db-system" you had on mind?

This installation uses completely utf-8 database with all connections, 
while the file system is native Windows, which is not utf-8, hence the 
problems with file names. I've heard Windows uses Windows-1252 charset, 
but I'm not sure for that yet, as I've heard it uses UCS-2 on other 
discussions.

It's a Windows Server 2008 R2 OS. So my interpretation is that the 
problem comes from the fact that a Typo3 utf-8 db driven system file 
manager writes down a utf-8 characters to the filename that Windows 
can't digest. And vice-versa --> Typo3 has problems digesting a Windows 
filename with special characters in it (occurs in files bypassing Typo3 
file manager, a ftp, scp,...), when "utf-8" backend is enabled.

~ Happy New Year ~

Mario
