A very useful ZopeProduct that makes part of your filesystem accessible in the ZODB (Zope Object Database). This is useful for, eg, when you want zope to serve some files that need to stay where they are. It can write files too.
- http://www.easyleading.org/Downloads
- latest version with zope 2.7, large files and PUT support. Very handy for eg editing po files with ExternalEditor.
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/localfs
- old home, out of date. Be sure to use the newest version instead! Most support questions and problems with LocalFS can be traced back to people downloading outdated versions.

Just to give folks more confidence - the above change (replace "OFS." with "zope.app." in LocalFS.py) is really the only change you need to make LocalFS work with zope 2.9.
Thanks for the patch!

Try change the _wrapper_method = blah part to:
_wrapper_method = '''def %(name)s %(arglist)s: """Wrapper for the %(name)s method.""" self._p_oid = self._local_path r = self.__class__.__bases__[-1]?.%(name)s %(baseargs)s try: _save_ob(self, self._local_path) except ValueError?: pass return r '''

upload form works, python script nor ZMI drop down do not work --relay23, Fri, 31 Oct 2008 13:37:29 -0400 reply
Thanks for all of this info.. Before 2.9 (I was on 2.7 before) I was able to use manage_addImage as well as upload a file from the dropdown into my localfs. I cannot use my python script to do the manage_addImage nor the ZMI drop down to add a file or image anymore. Maybe I need to use a different function in the python script to upload?? Here's the error I get:
Error Type: PicklingError?
Error Value: Can't pickle
Here's the addImage line I'm using: context.imagesdir.manage_addProduct['OFSP']?.manage_addImage(filename, image_data, '', content_type)
Is OFSP the same thing as the OFS that we are instructed to change to zope.app?
