b_w_johan Regular Posts: 56 | Hey guys, i was wondering have you ever tried the following method? (this i've seen in Plone (some CMS) and i'm not sure if its smart or not..) this is the situation: Plone gets installed ... installs its own server and database (can work with apache and mysql but we couldn't really configure it to work thatway ;)) there is no wwwroot or something like that its just the server; the plone isntallation files and a databse you can download some module wich would be like this i guess http://www.meka-meka.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=276 so you can import zips with images wich are stored in the database.... okee thats the background info now comes the questions What would be the handy part of not using files anymore ? is it faster/smaller to store both text, image and design in database instead of .jpg .php and .css files ? or is it just 'another' method ... its i'm currently working on some mini CMS ... and comparing methods so i'm like why are they storing everything in database without any seperate files |

b_w_johan Regular Posts: 56 | ok and in youre opinion is this bettter then uploading the image itself to some directory or would it be exactly the same ?? |
