Zopistas,
I'm trying to store files that are submitted from a form on the local filesystem, and not in the ZODB. First, I thought I could use the LocalFS product, but this is read only, so no dice.
Then I tried to implement the things I found in the "Howto store files externally"-howto. I'm almost there (after some fiddling around, the howto is a bit lacking) but I get errors.
Shouldn't it be easy to store files outside the ZODB? I find these methods a bit cumbersome.

Hi Alex, I just use a simple external method for this purpose. I have a form that has a file input box called "file". The form posts to this external method using method="post" and enctype="multipart/form-data". It's a small function, so I'll just post the code here: def processFile(self, file, REQUEST=None, RESPONSE=None): buffer = file.readlines() outfile = open('%s/new_data.txt' % ATTACHMENTS_HOME, 'w') outfile.writelines(buffer) if REQUEST is not None: return RESPONSE.redirect('%s/updated.html' % REQUEST['URL1']) ATTACHMENTS_HOME is a variable I define elsewhere in the module. After the file is saved, I just have it redirect to a page called updated.html. There's normally some processing that goes on between the readlines() and the writelines(), but I cut all that out so you could see the basics. -- Nick Garcia | ngarcia@codeit.com CodeIt Computing | http://codeit.com
