I am using an external method to load an Image from the harddrive. The external method is as follows:
from email.MIMEImage import MIMEImage ##parameters=filename def getDocument(filename): fname = '/mnt/'+filename; input = open(fname,'r') content = MIMEImage( input.read( ) ) input.close( ) return content
When I try to display the content in the webpage what I actually got is all raw data of the file rather the image. So how can I convert the raw data to be dispalyed as image in the webpage. I am using ZPT to display the web page (image).
Apparently, you do not yet fully understand HTML and ZPT. HTML (and therefore ZPT) is *NOT* intended to present binary data (such as images). I expect you do not understand "MIMEImage" as well. I do not know what it is for but almost surely, it is not for presentation via HTTP...
If its dtml I could have used <dtml-mime> tag is there any equivalent to that in ZPT.
And it would not work. "dtml-mime" is for construction of an "email" message from DTML and not for a webpage presentation. Step back. Read a good book about Web publishing, HTML and HTTP. Learn about how to present binary information in web pages (i.e. via HTTP) -- you will need the "Content-Type" header of HTTP responses. Read about Zope's "REQUEST" and "RESPONSE" objects (in the Zope book or <http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/book/chap3.html>) You will *not* need a ZPT (nor DTML) for presentation of binary content. You use then only for textual content. -- Dieter
