File abstraction layer (FAL)
TYPO3
Show in appDescription
The FAL abstracts physical file assets storage within the system. It allows storing, manipulating and accessing assets with different Digital Assets Management Systems transparently within the system, allows high availability cloud storage and assets providers (e.g. Dropbox, AWS S3). Assets can be enriched with metadata like description information, authors, and copyright. This information is stored in local database tables. All access to files used in content elements should use the FAL API.
Goals
- I know there is an abstraction layer between actual file storage and handling in TYPO3.
- I understand how FAL is integrated with TYPO3 content elements.
