Occasionally you may want to store the original filename in a database
field. In this case, you need to modify the model and add a field to
store it in:
db.define_table('person',
Field('name', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()),
Field('image_filename'),
Field('image', 'upload'))
def display_form():
if len(request.args):
records = db(db.person.id==request.args[0]).select()
if len(request.args) and len(records):
url = URL(r=request, f='download')
form = SQLFORM(db.person, records[0], deletable=True,
upload=url, fields=['name', 'image'])
else:
form = SQLFORM(db.person, fields=['name', 'image'])
if request.vars.image:
form.vars.image_filename = request.vars.image.filename
if form.accepts(request.vars, session):
response.flash = 'form accepted'
elif form.errors:
response.flash = 'form has errors'
return dict(form=form)
