hi All We want to implement our company Intranet (currently using XOOPS) on Google Apps Sites (we are a Google Apps Premier customer).
We have a lot of online forms on our Intranet. Forms like expense reimbursement where our staff enter their expenses and attach receipts to the form and then submit the form. The form data will then be email to our accounting staff with download links to the receipts (which are stored our webserver). It is not possible to implement this in Google Apps Sites, and so we are thinking of creating an application on Google App Engine and then packaging it into a Gadget and inserting the Gadget into a Dashboard in Google Apps Sites. It seems that this is the only way to incorporate a Google App Engine application into Google Apps Sites, i.e. via Google Gadget. But it seems like there is not flat file system on GAE to store the uploaded file. And the file has to be stored as a blogtype entry in Google datastore. But Google Datastore has a limit of 1MB per entry. Our users sometimes upload files as big as 100MB (for CAD files). Also, after storing the file in the Datastore, we need it to be immediately available for download as link in the form email notification. For example, after our staff submit the expense reimbursement form, an email will be sent to our accounting staff and the email will contain a link to the receipt/invoice file uploaded, and the accounting staff can download the receipt file -- this is what we are doing now using our Xoops Intranet. I got the information that there's no flat file storing in GAE and that there is a 1MB limit on DataStore entries from this site: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/81451/upload-files-in-google-app-engine Thank you. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
