Hi Massimo!
It is not my intention to bypass anything as I'd prefer you experts to
do the framework business. Rather, I wish to know what the best
course of action would be.
I cannot retrieve a file which was uploaded using SQLFORM.factory
My SQLFORM.factory renames and places my file on the filesystem via
store() in dal.py, excellent.
I cannot use URL('default', 'download', args=spam) as it throws an
<type 'exceptions.KeyError'>('spam')
I believe the issue stems from my only table defined in models are for
auth and I'm using OrientDB for everything else.
So when I call download() there is no table for it to reference to get
the filename.
How should I go about retrieving the file I uploaded with my
SQLFORM.factory?
At the cost of sounding repetitious, thank you Massimo. My positive
experiences with this community is part of what drove me towards
web2py and away from other projects.
