Hello web2py users,
I am in the process of completing the "edit profile" option for the web app
members and I am experiencing a particular problem that is causing me a
headache !
in the profile controller, I am using the following function to update a
user's profile :
def editprofile():
table = db.auth_user
form= crud.update(table,request.args(0))
return dict(form=form)
and in the view, just to test this function, I am starting out with a
simple view with no customization like :
{{extend 'profile/userlayout.html'}}
<h4>This is editprofile </h4>
{{=form}}
in db.auth_user there is the picture or avatar for the user among other
fields
First observation ) When a user updates his profile, all other fields gets
updated ... except the picture field ! ???
Second ) the fields that used checkboxes as widgets when the user was
registering on the site do not show as checked on the edit profile view !
So :
the user's profile keeps the old picture and old thumbnail even after
uploading a new one to replace the old ....
the new picture uploaded does not even make it to the table nor to the
upload folder ! ... however, I do get the message that the uploaded pic was
re-sized but ... it is not there !
and I wish to have that same picture to show up on the edit profile page
before the submit (update) button is pressed !
And why doesn't the checkboxes show their status or value when in edit
profile view ?
any assistance on this will be greatly appreciated !
thank you
Don
