I am still struggling along with trying to get Zope (2.01 on Linux) to properly manage image *overwriting* for a web application that I am developing. I previously posted about this (http://www.egroups.com/list/zope/md534753122.html) here is some simple code to illustrate my problem : I have a form that prompts users for <input type="text" name="id" size="20"> <input type="file" name="image"> i.e. id is the name of image, and file is the file to be uploaded from the local file system to Zope. the action of this form is the added_new_staff method below : <dtml-with REQUEST> <dtml-with "_[id]"> <dtml-call "manage_upload(REQUEST['image'])"> </dtml-with> </dtml-with> Zope executes the above without complaint, but when I try to use the image in other methods, I get the *old* image. *BUT* when I try to view /image/image I see the new uploaded image......what is going on here ? It seems that I am running into a side effect of acquisition here, but I also notice that when you use Zope's builtin image uploading and updating through the management interface, I get the same behavior. Is this a bug or a feature ? Can I really overwrite an image in Zope ? thanks for any helps, Darcy --------------------------------------------------- Ph: (734) 764 3377 Email: darcyc@engin.umich.edu URL: http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~darcyc/ --------------------------------------------------- 'If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate' .....
