Upload images to folder outside web2py

[Annet]

To upload images to separate folders outside web2py I set the upload folder with the model definition:

UPLOADSDIR = '/home/me/apps/static/'

db.define_table('mytable',
    Field('image', 'upload', autodelete=True, uploadfolder=os.path.join(UPLOADSDIR, 'vertexID%s' % session.vertexID),
    ...)

I use the standard download function:

def download():
    return response.download(request, db)

The form:

form = SQLFORM(table, row, deletable=True, upload=URL('default', 'download'), showid=False, buttons=buttons)
    if hasattr(request.vars.image, 'filename'):
        form.vars.imagefilename = request.vars.image.filename

and to process the form:

if form.process().accepted:
        if row and form.vars.image__delete:
            file = row.image
            os.remove(os.path.join(UPLOADSDIR, 'vertex%s' % session.back_end_vertexid, file))

In web2py 2.17.2 this all worked without problem, however, after upgrading to

web2py 2.20 it no longer works. The image doesn't show in the form, it's marked

with a broken link icon, and when I click the file link I get a page not found error.

Also when I upload a new image, the old one isn't being deleted, so the images pile

up in the folder.

I hope someone knows how to solve this issue.

Kind regards,

Annet

I forgot to say, uploading an image works, if the folder isn't

there it is being created, otherwise the image is uploaded

to the folder.

Best,

Is this related to slashes being dropped, as in Gael's question?

Thanks for the link.

I had a look at Gael's post, my problem isn't related to that one.

However, reading Gael's post I realised that bewteen versions

I introduced conditional models. Since the download function

is in the default controller and the uploadfolder is set in the

model I needed to add the respective model files to response.models_to_run

So, Gael's post indirectly helped me solve the issue.

Kind regards,

Annet
