The current package collective.base64imagepatch is an add on for the CMS Plone. It injects eventhandlers for Contenttype creation and modification to assure that no inline base64 encoded image is stored in an RichTextField.

There are two soft dependencies on the underlaying Content-Types-Frameworks of Plone:

• Archetypes
• Dexterity

None of those must be included seperately in the buildout, as they are already part of Plone.

If you are using zc.buildout to manage your Zope/Plone Instances, you can do this:

• Add collective.base64imagepatch to the list of eggs to install, e.g.:

[buildout]
...
eggs =
    ...
    collective.base64imagepatch
    ...

• Re-run buildout, e.g. with:

$ ./bin/buildout

The patch is installed and works directly on next startup.

Note: The patch will not show up in any install listing.

To run the patch on existing content call patch_all view on any Plone object for just this Plone Site Instance or any Zope Root Object for all Plone Sites. cmf.ManagePortal Permissions required.
