Destination¶

MCM module

Destination extension¶

Destinations are information about the file hosts which host the media in the CHAOS database. Each destination corresponds to a host with a particular URL-pattern.

Destinations have a StringFormat which describes how the URLs to the media (on the particular host) should be formed.

StringFormat is a string in which the following tokens can be used:

• {BASE_PATH} will be replaced by the Destination’s BasePath
• {FOLDER_PATH} will be replaced by the File’s FolderPath
• {FILENAME} will be replaced by the File’s FolderPath
• {SESSION_GUID} will be replaced current session GUID
• {OBJECT_GUID} will be replaced by the Objects’s GUID

each token will be replaced with the corresponding value according to the file, its destination and so on. None of the tokens are required and can be omitted. If {SESSION_GUID} is present in the string but no session guid is available to CHAOS (e.g. if no user is logged in) it will be replaced with {SESSION_GUID_MISSING}. The other tokens work the same way.

The URL field of every File belonging to the Destination will be generated by the StringFormat of the Destination.

Destinations have a BasePath field, which typically is the first part of the URL for files hosted on the particular destination. The token {BASE_PATH} will be replaced with value of this field.
