Upload field

[Kenneth Lundström]

I�m trying to find out how form.accepts handles the uploading of files
(for my mail gateway) and made a form

form=SQLFORM.factory(Field('text','string'),
Field('upload','upload'))

When I submit a form I get a ticket stating
"you must specify a Field(...,uploadfolder=...)"

how come? In the manual it says:

These are the default values of a Field constructor:

Field(name, 'string', length=None, default=None,
required=False, requires='<default>',
ondelete='CASCADE', notnull=False, unique=False,
uploadfield=True, widget=None, label=None, comment=None,
writable=True, readable=True, update=None, authorize=None,
autodelete=False, represent=None, compute=None,
uploadfolder=os.path.join(request.folder,'uploads'),
uploadseparate=None)

I understand that if I don�t give a uploadfolder it uses a default value
of "os.path.join(request.folder,'uploads')"

You need a upload field to store the path and a field to store the name of the file... The book is not clear I think about upload particularly about blob storage...

My model :

Field('chroma','upload',uploadfield='chroma_blob'),

Field('chroma_blob','blob'),

You need both doen't matter if you use blob. 

Hope this help!

No, blob is optional, and it'll work well without specifying a blob field. (I use only upload and it works on GAE too)

[Arun K.Rajeevan]

Are you trying to do manual upload?

I remember I got such an error a while back.  Can't recall exactly what happened that time. I'll let you know if I can recall. (My Hg repo., of that project is lost due to hdd malfunction :( )

[Kenneth Lundström]

Yes I was trying to understand how the manual uploading was working,
never got it working, but I solved the issue an other way so did not put
any more time on it.
