Re: [Zope] Re: [Image-SIG] Properly integrating PIL, reportlab, and zope
Ahha!
To force zope (and reportlab) to use a different working directory, use:
import os
os.chdir('/usr/local/zope/differentdir/')
still this is a pretty big workaround, but hey... It works!

Re: [Zope] Re: [Image-SIG] Properly integrating PIL, reportlab, and zope
Thanks for the help everyone!
I'm a few steps closer to solving this one. What I'm doing is pretty much a
workaround, since I can't figure out how to pass a image file directly from
within the zodb. I have created a seperate field that gets passed to a
localFS directory.
Right now, I just need to refrence a file that is somewhere other than the
/usr/local/zope directory.
I've been trying:
c.drawInlineImage(str('/home/zope/uploadedimages/' + filename), .5*inch,
10.*inch,4*inch)
for some reason it can't find a file anywhere other than the base directory
in zope. I cannot use this directory because it will serve as a collection
of image files.
Any ideas how to force it to look somewhere else for this file?
Thanks again!

[Zope] Re: [Image-SIG] Properly integrating PIL, reportlab, and zope
I have no idea if this will help you. We use PIL, reportlabs and zope to
create P.O.'s, to place a logo on the page we use the following line of
code:
c.drawInlineImage("gclogo_color.gif", .5*inch, 10.*inch,4*inch)
where c is created thusly:
c = canvas.Canvas(fileName,(PAGE_WIDTH*inch,PAGE_LENGTH*inch),
pageCompression=0)
