Patch for Plone. Not raise error when visiting file contents with missing BLOB file

Introduction

The BLOB support in Plone is amazing for a lot of reasons.

However, right now, Plone will raise errors when you visit a file content that use BLOB support, without having also the BLOB file.

I don’t know if this is good or not (I opened an issue related to this), but for developers this can be a little boring. It’s quite common to copy a production Data.fs for developing something using production data, but you don’t always want to copy all blobs.

This product will simply monkey-pach some points inside Plone, so visiting a ATFile/ATImage without its BLOB available will not show any errors to visitors.

Requirements

This product has been tested on:

• Plone 3.3 (with plone.app.blob 1.5)

• Plone 4.0

• Plone 4.1

Warning

This is designed only for development/staging environment. Do not use in production if you are not sure of what you are doing!
