file uploads

[Wes James]

Also, students will need to upload a text or word doc for extra
information for their scholarship application. I noticed that web2py
has some file upload pieces. Does the data go in to the database or
on to the file system? Do I put a pointer in the db to the filename
if it is on the file system?

thx,

If you have SQLField('doc','upload') than doc goes in the uploads
folder and the name (renamed) in the field.

If you have SQLField('doc','upload',uploadfield='doc_data') and
SQLField('doc_data','blob',default='') then the uploaded file goes in
the database.

I mean can I choose more than one file and then click upload once?

Do I need to design the form for myself?

You'll need to do this yourself. Check out the jquery multi file upload plugin.
