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. When I try to add an object of the class "myFileClass", I get the following: "Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Error Type: NameError Error Value: cookId" The external method "cookId" is located in the ZClass. Traceback below. Shouldn't it be easy to store files outside the ZODB? I find these methods a bit cumbersome.
