ZODBDirectory schema/layout can't hold any type of fields inherited from file widget/field

What's the traceback? Would fixing the storage adapter to store always as simple attributes be enough?

Traceback:

ZODBDirectory use as an adapter the AttributeStorageAdapter?, which seems to not offer all the needed functionality.

Patch to add a photo on member data, works with or without LDAP feature.

patch for photo on member data

The rar attachment is not complete

I had the same problem using images for directory entries and used the patches, but I found a problem creating directory entries:

• TypeError?: _getContentUrl() takes at least 3 arguments (2 given)

from getFileInfo() in PatchAddPhotoToLDAPMembers.py

I decided to modify the method getFileInfo to get the entry from the directory and get the url of the image from the entry itself (the image file is not stored in the ZODB so it is in the field 'image' within the entry). So, I changed:

... # some adapters does not have _getContentUrl if getattr(adapter, '_getContentUrl', None) is not None:

content_url = self._getContentUrl(entry_id, field_id)

...

for:

... # some adapters does not have _getContentUrl if getattr(adapter, '_getContentUrl', None) is not None:

dir = dm.getContext() try:

entry = dir.getEntry(entry_id) content_url = entryimage?.absolute_url()

except:

content_url =

...

and it worked. Then I decided to implement a new widget for directory entries that implemtents the patch functionality. It is called "DirectoryEntryImageWidget?". It just inherits from CPSImageWidget and redefines the getFileInfo method. And it worked too.

I hope this "solution" could help.
