Supposing one has a controller like this:
def mycustomstore(f, n, p): print "file length", len(f.read()) print "file name", n print "path", p def index(): form = SQLFORM.factory(Field("myupload", "upload", custom_store=mycustomstore)) if form.process().accepted: pass return dict(form=form) Running in a welcome app and a linux machine with the rocket builtin server (web2py Version 2.7.4-stable+timestamp.2013.10.19.17.40.27) When one submits the form specifying a file, the form passes validation and it is possible to store the file output elswhere or, for example use it as custom field input for a custom db interface (which is the way I'd use such code). Now, it seems that with this configuration, the upload feature does not keep a copy of the file in the filesystem (not within the application path afaik). Is this the correct way of submitting file data without file storage with web2py? I belive this feature is not documented. Would this also work on an environment without write access to the file system (for example appengine)? -- 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.
