So, I did the following: - I created a controller and I put the following code inside
# Example of a form that sends a valid POST request to changeAvatar() @auth.requires_login() def showChangeAvatarForm(): return locals() # use /showChangeAvatarForm from browser for testing @auth.requires_login() def changeAvatar(): if not request.env.request_method == 'POST': raise HTTP(405, json(dict(status='failure', msg='POST request is needed'))) try: image=request.vars['image'] except: image=None if image == None or image == "": raise HTTP(400, json(dict(status='failure', msg='No image provided' ))) if type(image)==type(str()): raise HTTP(400, json(dict(status='failure', msg='Only the finename of the image was provided, not the image itself. Try to copy the browser behavior of /user/showChangeAvatarForm when submiting a file'))) db(db.auth_user.id==auth.user.id).update(avatar=image) filename=db(db.auth_user.id==auth.user.id).select(db.auth_user.avatar). first().avatar return json(dict(status='success', msg='Avatar has been changed', filename=filename)) - Also I created view showChangeAvatarForm.html and I put the following code inside: <html> <body> <form action="changeAvatar" method="post" enctype='multipart/form-data'> This a demo to change avatar<br> <input type="file" name="image"> <br> <input type="submit"/> </form> </body> </html> - So I proved that web2py is able to accept and store images. Now I am expecting from the front-end developer to develop an appropriate POST request. In case that he does not know how to do it he can use this library http://malsup.com/jquery/form/ . I have used it and I can say that it is able to POST files that have been chosen using a html form. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
