Code improvement : Images, Files and Upload Classes

The php classes managing the files has been entirely rewritten.
It is now clean and consistent !
Now, only one helper file is handling all the work for upload, thumbs, :
HelperFile : (helpers/file.php)

The following files has been removed :

classes/file/file.php
Has been renamed in a helper, because it is a static class, so its place is in the helpers.


classes/file/upload.php
Has been merged inside HelperFile. It still does the same job with few improvements at the level of the caller.


classes/images.php
Has been totally removed and the work is left to the JImage native class of Joomla!
We don't need anymore with the actual version of Joomla!


classes/image/image.php
Has been removed because it was an empty class file.



A new important function appeared in the item controller:
updateFileField()
It manages the uploader call, manages the file / thumbs deletions and update the image value field in the database in only one static call.


CHECK YOUR FORKS if you have modified the deprecated classes.
(or build in Legacy 2.8.7)

Follow this short guide :

This is what you call a component builder. I was able to master using this in a very short time and the resulting component works like a charm. Not just a basic component builder but a fully working component builder with forms fields tables all ready to go. You can make the list and item views to display in the front and back end. Also there is a great forum just starting to evolve and I'm sure this will grow very rapidly when you all realise how good this tool is.
