want the file converted). All my dtml method does is change data in a few already-defined properties. I've commented out my dtml statements and put them back in one at a time, to see if I can isolate the one which is causing the error. Here it is:
<dtml-call "manage_changeProperties(upload_file=REQUEST['new_file'],)">
"new_file" is the name of an input field of type "file" in the form the dtml method containing the line above was called from. If i replace the line above with the following:
<dtml-call "manage_changeProperties(upload_file='This is a test',)">
things work fine.
what gets assigned to 'upload_file' is probably not pickleable. What that is I don't know, you will have to find out what kind of object is getting assigned or is trying to store itself as a property. This is just a guess, there is not enough information to pin it down exactly.
Ive run into this several times, and you've prompted me to look into why. I think manage_changeProperties and manage_editProperties should be using self._updateProperty rather than self._setPropValue. self._updateProperty performs type checking on the property values. In this case you property would probably get the value <file object at 0x12345678> or something similar, which gives a good hint about what you did wrong. (Note, all of that is untested.
