Thank you for your help Robert,

unfortunately I can't get the code to work. It adds an image object with the correct Content Type, but the Title field reads <ZPublisher.HTTPRequest.FileUpload instance at 121a858> and no image appears to be present (it says size is ~92bytes).

My form code is:

    <form method="post" action="Create_new_zope_file_object" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    Path and File: <input type="file" name="new_file_object">
    <input type="submit" value="Upload this file to Library">
    </form>
My Python script parameter is:

new_file_object

My Python Script Code is:

import sys, string, os

    if hasattr(new_file_object,'filename'):
        filename=new_file_object.filename
        title=filename
        id=filename[max(string.rfind(filename, '/'), string.rfind(filename, '\\'), )+1:]

    if(new_file_object):
        container.manage_addImage(id, title, new_file_object)

in the method (probably a python script) dealing with the upload use the following

I patched it from several of my methods. It is not tested but it should give you the idea

Robert

Call this function as a the action of a file upload form.

If it is in a python script just leave out the def part, and give the script the

parameter file.

    def manage_addMyFile ( self, file ) :
        """ add file """
        import os
        if hasattr(file,'filename'):
            filename=file.filename
            title=filename
            id=filename[max(string.rfind(filename, '/'),
                            string.rfind(filename, '\\'),
                            string.rfind(filename, ':'),
                            )+1:]

        if(file):
            if(os.path.splitext(filename)[1] in ['.jpg', '.gif']):
                self.manage_addImage(id, title, file)
            if other extention ....

Subject: [Zope] How to upload files and create file objects from DTML page?

I want to have a normal DTML page for users that allows them to upload and download files (without needing to use the management interface). The downloading and display of files is fine, but I cant figure out the zope/python code to create a new file object and store an uploaded file. The files could be upto ~60MB in size, and can be zip or doc files etc. Has anyone seen suitable sample code for this?
