The web2py book says: Because Ajax post does not support multipart forms, i.e. file uploads, > upload > fields will not work with the LOAD component >
This is a pity, as we are expected to split backend and frontend these days, and ajax comes handy. I have found other people hitted the same problem but didn't find a solution: - https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/web2py/upload$20file$20ajax/web2py/6yL1pNd7QE0/-9z7DWoQyDwJ - https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/web2py/upload$20file$20ajax/web2py/PmvIKczfn84/MCJso4P0vXEJ - https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/web2py/upload$20file$20ajax/web2py/IHSnr6cppBQ/2FCBSgCCUTcJ Then I realized there is one part of my app that has been doing file uploads via ajax for a long time. I grabbed it from this example appliance by Massimo, and never researched the code in depth: https://github.com/mdipierro/web2py-appliances/tree/master/FileManager I did some research and found it is using the jQuery.form library, which can do file uploads via ajax: http://malsup.com/jquery/form/#file-upload I write this in the hope that people trying to do fle uploads via ajax find this library, and the example app by Massimo, and it helps them. -- 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.
