Files Uploads (Media Model)

[ddavisgraphics]

Media

This is the model we are going to use to associate the files to items. The idea is to have this data in a few locations just in case because the previous system if this information was lost from the item it was not recoverable.

Previous System

• saves the archival path
• does not save a relation back to the item
• saves json in the item json for the file path and information

New System

• saves the file to a archival path and working path, only using the working path for the modifications to the file.
• save based on the UUID as in the previous system, but keep this information all located in an active record model
• save the item id in the media model so that there is another way to find it.
• create a returnable method for the paths and create a to json method that gathers all the information for the items submission.
