Hi Massimo,
I am using upload attachments. I have Create and Edit pages with number of
fields. Upload is one of the fields. Now in create page, it was pretty
straight forward using, Upload field in model.
Table name is service_attachments
Field('attachment','upload',uploadfolder=os.path.join(request.folder,
'attachments')) (Model)
if form.vars.attachment:
form.vars.attachment_name = request.vars.attachment.filename
id =
thisdb.service_attachments.insert(**thisdb.service_attachments._filter_fields(form.vars))
.(Controller)
And this works great.It inserts the record into the table and also saves
the attachment into the folder as -
service_attachments.attachment.b19d4ef38978e8e6.746d707437756c626f.jpg
Now for edit functionality page, I want users to be able to add more
images. Just calling the form.custom.widget.attachment again is not serving
the purpose. So I tried doing, manual upload for this particular page. Eg,
input class=upload id=service_attachments_attachment name=attachment
type=file / (view)
I recreated this HTML statement with taking reference of what the Create
upload field creates in HTML..
In Controller,
if request.vars.attachment != '':
form.vars.attachment = request.vars.attachment.file
filename = request.vars.attachment.filename
form.vars.attachment_name = filename
id =
thisdb.service_attachments.insert(**thisdb.service_attachments._filter_fields(form.vars))
Just Assigning this manual field to the already existing upload field.
This saves the file, the same way as upload field does. It does save the
file in the folder specified and also inserts the record in the
service_attachments table.But, it saves the extension of that field as
.txt, regardless of what the file type is. It saves the file as .txt in the
folder and the db record.
Let me now if this is giving you the clear picture.

Hi Everyone,
I need help urgently.
In my application, I am have included upload fields in Create and edit
page. Through create page, it was very straight forward with:
td{{=form.custom.widget.attachment}}/td (View)
Field('attachment','upload',uploadfolder=os.path.join(request.folder,
'attachments')) (DAL).
if form.vars.attachment:
form.vars.attachment_name =
request.vars.attachment.filename
id =
thisdb.service_attachments.insert(**thisdb.service_attachments._filter_fields(form.vars))
.(Controller) And this works great.
That with Edit page is not the same, as it is not about editing the
current image, but uploading more attachments. So I tried doing something
like this:
input class=upload id=service_attachments_attachment
name=attachment type=file / (view)
if request.vars.attachment != '':
form.vars.attachment = request.vars.attachment.file
filename = request.vars.attachment.filename
form.vars.attachment_name = filename
id =
thisdb.service_attachments.insert(**thisdb.service_attachments._filter_fields(form.vars))
This follows the very similar procedure of saving the encrypted version
of attachment name in the attachment field, but it changes the extension to
.txt for all the attachments. It saves the attachment as
service_attachments.attachment.b19d4ef38978e8e6.746d707437756c626f.txt
where as the orginal attachment is photo.JPG. So ideall it should save it
as service_attachments.attachment.b19d4ef38978e8e6.746d707437756c626f.JPG.
Can anyone please help me with this?
