[Zope] file upload question

[Phil Harris]

Try something like this,

upload_html:

<FORM ACTION="upload_external" METHOD="POST"
 ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
<TABLE CELLSPACING="2">
<TR>
  <TH ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP">File</TH>
  <TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP">
  <INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="file" SIZE="25" VALUE="">
  </TD>
</TR>
<TR>
  <TD></TD>
  <TD><BR><INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Change"></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</FORM>


external method called upload_external:

import os, shutil

def upload_external(self,file,REQUEST):
 #check if file was sent correctly
 if file.read(1) == '':
  return '<h2>File does not exist</h2>'
 else:
  file.seek(0)
 iname=os.path.basename(file.filename)
 oname=os.path.join(self.savedir,iname)
 f=open(oname,"wb")
 f.write(file.read())
 # let's get the mime information
 mime_type=file.headers.headers[1]
 user=str(REQUEST.AUTHENTICATED_USER)
 try:
  self.add_entry(path=self.savedir,filename=iname,owner=user)
 except:
  os.remove(oname)
  return '<h2>File upload not completed correctly</h2>'
 return '''<h2>%s was sent correctly, and saved in %s</h2><h3>The Mime Type
of the file is</h3>%s<h3>Saved by</h3>%s''' % (iname,oname,mime_type,user)


The self.savedir is a property set in the folder which contains the external
method and tells the external method where to put the file.

The self.add_entry is an update on a database to keep track of the files
uploaded, etc.

The rest should be self explanatory, ;)
