Thanks Jonothan. But what I want to do is sort of the reverse. I want to process the image files throught Zope to be so they can be cataloged with keywords but have the actual images sit in Apache. Image file | Uploaded through a form page in Zope | ------------------------------------------------------------- | | id and keywords sent Image file sent to Apache to Catalog. The logic behind this is that the imagse are served up from Apache and don't load down Zope, but they can be searched by keyword and previewed within Zope through local fs. I hope this makes sense, and thakns again for your help. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jonothan Farr" <jfarr@real.com> To: "Tom Scheidt" <tom@falsemirror.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 30, 2000 7:38 PM Subject: Re: yet another LOCAL FS question

...

I want to use this:

<dtml-call "manage_addImage(id=REQUEST['id'], file=REQUEST['file'])">

<dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect( URL +'/success_html')">

but have the images placed into a folder in Apache. Can I send them directly? I have a local fs in the same folder as the above doc, should i send the images there, will the really end up in Apache?

You could use LocalFS to upload the image files to the local file system, then if you have Apache configured to serve files out of the same directory as the LocalFS object has configured for its 'base path' then you should be OK.

Hope this helps, --jfarr
