I am trying to figure out the relation between PRFile, MAFileModel,
MAFileDescription, and possibly others. They seem to duplicate a lot of
information, such as mimetype and filename.
I'm using the Pier-1.2 download.
PRFile says it references an instance of MAFileModel, but a lot of test
code for seems to get by without an MAFileModel.
Look at the class side of PRFile. Its in the descriptionFile method.
I've looked for references to the classes, but have found either
extremely terse and trivial tests or the setupup for, e.g., defaultCSS.
I also don't know which of the classes is intended for display, or how
to display them.
Initially, I just want to use these to display links to files that are
on the disk. Presumably that will use MAExternalFileModel somehow.
You really don't need to worry about all that in Pier I don't think. Just use the Add command and select PRFile from the combo box. Then edit the page to put a reference to it. Given that it is named MyFile the reference would look like +/MyFile+ (also given that it is added to the root page)
Later on, I may want to have pseudo files that include the ability to
select a format in which to download the file or to display the file
inline on the web page.
