This is testing on GAE Locally

extra fields:

auth.settings.extra_fields['auth_user']= [
  Field('City'),
  Field('State'),
  Field('Country'),
  Field('Profile_Name'),
  Field('Avatar', 'upload')]


When the user registers i get a unrecoverable error message after
submission.  I checked the db admin for GAE and it shows that all info
was received including the blob.  When i try form submission leaving
the upload field blank it works fine.  At first i thought that the
image files were too big, but they are all under a 1mb.

Massimo,

This seems to be a GAE file size issue.  i checked the error log and
even though the file is under 1 mb it was saying that it was too
large.  Maybe the dimensions of the photo were too large as opposed to
the actual disk space of the file? Either way it is not a problem with
Web2py, just a limitation that i did not run into until testing on
GAE.  I used a smaller 50px by 50px photo which was about 15kb and it
works fine.

Per Google docs, it says that the upload file size limits is one
gig.

this is what the development console looks like:

Profile_Name (string) amanda
Avatar (string)   auth_user.Avatar.a05d3cb080ce697d.
4a656c6c79666973682e6a7067.jpg
Avatar_blob (Blob)binary
password (string) eaa0c72ce4ea6949e14bfa4ad575cab6

chawk,

the problem is that the upload field in web2py does not use blobstore on 
GAE, it uses a blob property on the model.  very different, and limited to 
1mb (or maybe something smaller based on your test).  if you want the file 
size permitted by the blobstore, check out 
http://www.web2pyslices.com/slices/take_slice/63  and/or read up on the GAE 
files API (that might be easier than this but i have not used it for image 
upload yet)

good luck!

Can you shows us exactly which extra field causes the conflict?
