So I changed it to this:
def makeThumbnail(dbtable,ImageID,size=(200,200)):
try:
thisImage=db(dbtable.id==ImageID).select()[0]
import os, uuid
except:
print "Error while loading libraries"
return
try:
from PIL import Image
except:
print "Error while Importing PIL library"
return
print request <http://127.0.0.1:8000/examples/global/vars/request>.folder +
'uploads/' + thisImage.Image
im=Image.open(request
<http://127.0.0.1:8000/examples/global/vars/request>.folder + 'uploads/' +
thisImage.Image)
im.thumbnail(size,Image.ANTIALIAS)
"""thumbName='uploads.thumb.%s.jpg' % (uuid.uuid4())
im.save(request.folder + 'uploads/' + thumbName,'jpeg')
thisImage.update_record(thumb=thumbName)"""
thisImage.update_record(thumb=db.Images.thumb.store(im,
filename='thumbnail.jpg'))
response <http://127.0.0.1:8000/examples/global/vars/response>.flash =
'Thumb created everything went fine'
return
Now I get an error message which I don't understand:
