Hello,
Just spent a few hours trying to figure out why my FileField() with
FieldStorageUploadConverter() validation worked fine using the TW-
generated template (returning a FieldStorage object) but returns only
a Unicode object when I try to use my own custom template. Though TG
2.1 docs touch on the solution (See
http://turbogears.org/2.1/docs/main/ToscaWidgets/forms.html
- "Adding a File Upload") I though I might leave a note here to make
Googling for a solution a bit easier.
To summarize: Make sure your template contains enctype="multipart/
form-data" in <form>:
My Widget:
class OrderForm(twd.CustomisedForm):
submit_text = 'Save Order'
# Using OrderForm returns document_scan as Unicode. Comment the
template and document_scan
# correctly returns a FieldStorage object
template = "Project.templates.OrderForm"
fields = [
..
FileField('document_scan', label_text = 'Paperwork Scan',
help_text='Click to upload document scans',
validator=FieldStorageUploadConverter(if_invalid=None))
..
]
A correct template form definition in OrderFrom.html:
<form xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xmlns:py="http://
genshi.edgewall.org/" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude";
name="${name}" action="${action}" method="${method}"
class="OrderFormTop-Test" enctype="multipart/form-data">
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Be sure to put in enctype to let the server know to expect multipart
message.
Hope this helps somewhere.
