Use with FileField

[submarcos]

Hi,
I had develop a similar (but incomplete) app to store template in database.
In combination with a custom ODTTemplate Engine, It allows to store and use ODT files as template.

Your app is very very usefull and complete, but I can't use it because I can't set my ODT content manually, only by upload a template file.

What do you think about transform Template content field in real FielField, and keep content as cached property ? (Well, it is possible in admin to keep content field to handle text content and store it as file)

I can propose a PR for this.
Thank you for your advice

Hi @submarcos and thank you very much for the suggestions.

I remember using ODT templates in one of my apps and it worked very well.

I imagine that your plan was to use different templating engines with every in-database template. This would be pretty cool but as it is not exactly my use case (or anybody else, as this issue is hanging here for about 2 years or so), I'm not sure how well would it work.

If you want to propose a pull request, it would surely need to be very well tested.
