Re: [web2py] Re: REF: Issue with uploading files with web2py

2014-02-25 Thread Anthony
What is "file"? It must not be the original request.vars.photo you were 
dealing with, as that was a string object. In any case, looks like "file" 
is what we need, so you should now be able to use it in your original code 
and have web2py automatically rename and save the file via the built-in 
upload mechanism.

Note, looks like "file" is the expected cgi.FieldStorage object, so 
file.file would be the actual file object, and file.filename would be the 
original filename. You don't have to worry about that, though -- you can 
just pass "file" in the insert method, and web2py will extract the file and 
filename automatically.

Hi again,

I have found out as follows after twiking with the dhtmlx framework. I am
not sure how o access the actual image, i have noticed the file is an
instance of something...not a file per say. i have the following results:


print type(file)

type: 

print dir(file)

dir: ['FieldStorageClass', '_FieldStorage__file', '_FieldStorage__write',
'__contains__', '__doc__', '__getattr__', '__getitem__', '__init__',
'__iter__', '__len__', '__module__', '__nonzero__', '__repr__', 'bufsize',
'disposition', 'disposition_options', 'done', 'file', 'filename', 'fp',
'getfirst', 'getlist', 'getvalue', 'has_key', 'headers', 'innerboundary',
'keep_blank_values', 'keys', 'length', 'list', 'make_file', 'name',

'read_lines_to_eof', 'read_lines_to_outerboundary', 'read_multi',
'read_single', 'read_urlencoded', 'skip_lines', 'strict_parsing', 'type',
'type_options']


print file

file: FieldStorage('file', 'power.gif',
'GIF87a\x1f\x02c\x01w\x00\x00!\xfe\x1aSoftware: Microsoft

long to display

I looked at the PHP implementation which looks as follows:

$filename = $_FILES["file"]["name"];
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], "uploaded/".$filename);

What would be the equivalent in python?

 So what happens in the controller is that I can access the form

 The framework has code examples of how to access the uploaded file
 in php and java

 Any ideas?

Well, it's just a string, so that's not the file. You have to figure out 
how the JS library is sending the file to the server.

You'll have the check the JS framework docs to see how/where it is posting 
the file (e.g., maybe via a separate Ajax request).

 So what happens in the controller is that I can access the form

 The framework has code examples of how to access the uploaded file in

Re: [web2py] Re: REF: Issue with uploading files with web2py

2014-02-24 Thread Teddy Nyambe
Am using form processing tool. Which has a send method...what it actually
does is make post/get to a url in the form.send("{{=URL('c','a')}}")

So what happens in the controller is that I can access the form variables
as follows:

def a():
file_name = request.vars.file_name

The framework has code examples of how to access the uploaded file in php
and java

Any ideas?
