I would love to extend Craft with a custom AssetSourceType. However it looks like components of type 'assetSource' are not extensible (enableForPlugins = false).

Is there a way to do this? Or can I simply swap core services in the common.php without hacking the core?

My goal is to provide a 'S3CompatAssetSourceType' - the main difference to the S3AssetSourceType is the API endpoint.

Thanks.

Custom Asset sources are not possible in Craft 2 without some core hacking.

However totally doable in Craft 3 (even in the dev preview). There is an example of how to pull it off here.

  • Besides changing enableForPlugins to true in common.php, what other core hacking would be necessary?

  • The reason I ask is because this didn't seem to do the trick for me...

    Possible something has broken or changed since we released the last dev preview. Good news is, we hope to have a new one out soonish.
