Anthony,
I have noticed an error in the code. I have created a very simple form to
test the upload without using components. The code is as follows:
Controller:
=============
def index():
form = SQLFORM.factory(Field("first_name"),Field("quotes_file",
"upload", uploadfolder=os.path.join(request.folder, 'uploads')))
test = ''
first_name = ''
if request.vars.first_name:
first_name = "My test"
if request.vars.quotes_file:
test = "My File"
return locals()
View:
==============
{{extend 'layout.html'}}<br>
File: {{=test}}<br>
First name: {{=first_name}}
{{=form}}
{{=BEAUTIFY(request.vars)}}
When i submit the form with a file attached the beautify displays the file
content and the value for first_name.
But, the value for "test" = "My File" is not being displayed in the view,
while the "first_name" = "My test" is being displayed without any problem.
I have further noticed this error in the page source after making a submit:
<script type="text/javascript"><!-- // These variables are used by the
web2py_ajax_init function in web2py_ajax.js (which is loaded below). var
w2p_ajax_confirm_message = "Are you sure you want to delete this
object?";var w2p_ajax_date_format = "%Y-%m-%d";var
w2p_ajax_datetime_format = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S";var ajax_error_500 =
'An error occured, please <a
href="/testapp/default/index?first_name=bggfbfg&quotes_file=FieldStorage%28%27quotes_file%27%2C+%27rows+%282%29.csv%27%2C+%27circular.circular_no%2Ccircular.recipients%2Ccircular.circular_title%2Ccircular.circular_date%5Cr%5CnNAZ%2F1%2F2013%2CALL+MEMBERS+OF+STAFF%2CLunch+to+be+served+at+the+Motel%2C2013-03-01%5Cr%5Cn%27%29">reload</a>
the page' //--></script>
any idea on whats going on here?
