Wishlist : Adding Seafile

[denis-b]

Hello,

Seafile is a very powerful open source cloud service. It offers an API for accessing the service : http://manual.seafile.com/develop/web_api_v2.1.html, or a webdav access.

Can you advise me about the better existing model to use for implementing a Seafile plugin ?

Thanks

Hello denis-b.

I don't quite understand what do you mean by "better existing model to use for implementing a Seafile plugin". Do you want to add support for Seafile service to Cloud plugin -or- do you want to create a new plugin with support for Seafile? Can you please explain this a bit more?

Hello,
the idea is to add Seafile support to the cloud plugin.

Looking at the code in blocktype/, i see that most of the code is duplicated between different cloud modules. So as far as I understand, adding support for a new cloud system consists in copying one of the existing modules and adjusting it for the API. So my question is : looking at Seafile API, what is the best existing base for implementing it ?

Hello.

By quickly looking through Web API v2.1 I probably would start with ownCloud implementation and would also implement the method for getting the auth token. I would borrow and change/update that piece of code from some other blocktype. This probably means implementing/adapting the "access_token" method (and/or if it is necessary also the "request_token" method).
