I'm following the documentation trying to figure out how to correctly save a filename to my uploads database.
Basically i have the same code as the website shows in it's examples def submit(): import datetime form = SQLFORM(db.uploads, fields=['up_file', notes], deletable=True) form.vars.up_date = datetime.datetime.now() form.vars.username = auth.user.email if request.vars.up_file != None: form.vars.filename = request.vars.up_file.filename if form.process().accepted: redirect(URL('data', 'index')) elif form.errors: response.flash = "form has errors" But my form doesn't appear to be validating correctly. It allows me to hit submit even if a file is not supplied. This leads to a error being logged, so I want to avoid things getting submitted. My only thought is that it could be my requires not working correctly ext_regex = '|'.join(quikr_utils.all_ext) db.define_table('uploads', Field('username', 'string'), Field('filename', represent = lambda x, row: "None" if x == None else x [:45]), Field('up_file', 'upload', uploadseparate=True, requires=[IS_NOT_EMPTY (), IS_UPLOAD_FILENAME(extension=ext_regex)]), Field('up_date', 'datetime'), Field('up_size', 'integer', represent= lambda x, row: quikr_utils. sizeof_fmt(x) ), Field('notes', 'text')) >>> print quikr_utils.all_ext ['fasta','fa','fna','fasta.gz','fa.gz','fna.gz'] Any ideas?
