Hm... not sure if it is good solution but it is just a quick though so
possibly somebody may give you something better. Maybe there are ready
solutions for this. In general if you want
to return image then you have to return it's data to the browser (not
Image object) and you also have to set proper headers like content-type
and content-length. I don't remember exactly how it should go but you
should find examples with google or see how z3c.image does this etc.
This should be something like:
class StudentDetails:
"""Helper to return a student photo."""
def __call__(self):
student = self.context
self.request.setHeader('content-type', 'image/png')
# determine and set content-length here
return StudentPhoto(student).data # not sure if it was 'data'
# check image.py
If you declare this in zcml as:
<browser:view
name='myphoto'
class=StudentDetails'
permission='zope.Public'
for=.....
then you may use url just like:
student_object/myphoto
and this will execute __call__ method of the view class.
