Omeka Storage Adapter in plugin

[Oldřich Vykydal]

Hello,

I'm thinking about storage adapter for some web service e.g. picasa. I know I can do it similar like ZendS3 adapter and put file with new class to application/libraries/Omeka/Storage/Adapter directory and update configuration application/config/config.ini.

But I want to make it in pure omeka plugin. So I'm looking for clean way to create this plugin. I want to have possibility to turn on/off this functionality instantly when I enable or disable whole plugin and I don't want to configure config.ini or copy my class to Adapter directory in this time.

I'm thinking about make a link  "ln PicasaWeb.php application/libraries/Omeka/Storage/Adapter/PicasaWeb.php" in installation hook and delete this link in uninstallation hook. But I don't know how to configure application/config/config.ini in clean way. I can only do some dirty text processing in plugin hooks :)

Is it possible to do it clean?

Thank you

O1da

You don't need to make any symlinks to ship a new adapter: they don't
need to be located in the Omeka/Storage/Adapter directory. Having it in
your plugin at libraries/PicasaWeb/Storage/Adapter/PicasaWeb.php would
let you use it by specifying the adapter as
"PicasaWeb_Storage_Adapter_PicasaWeb". The class would be autoloaded as
long as it's at the right (PSR-0) path under libraries/ within your plugin.

As for altering the storage adapter automatically, that's not supported.
It's probably possible to do it by using initialize or another hook and
getting the Config resource from the bootstrap and editing the data
there, but I wouldn't recommend it. Because there's no method for
automatically migrating between storage methods, the storage settings
are designed to be more permanent than easily-editable.
