Ahha! To force zope (and reportlab) to use a different working directory, use: import os os.chdir('/usr/local/zope/differentdir/') still this is a pretty big workaround, but hey... It works! -e-

Hello ed,

If you figure this out let me know. We tried several times and were unsuccessful. we only have two files (logos) so it wasn't worth fighting with.

thanks,

Dan

I'm a few steps closer to solving this one. What I'm doing is pretty

workaround, since I can't figure out how to pass a image file directly from within the zodb. I have created a seperate field that gets passed to a localFS directory.

Right now, I just need to refrence a file that is somewhere other than the /usr/local/zope directory.

I've been trying: c.drawInlineImage(str('/home/zope/uploadedimages/' + filename), .5*inch, 10.*inch,4*inch)

for some reason it can't find a file anywhere other than the base directory in zope. I cannot use this directory because it will serve as a collection of image files.

Any ideas how to force it to look somewhere else for this file?

Thanks again!

I have no idea if this will help you. We use PIL, reportlabs and zope to create P.O.'s, to place a logo on the page we use the following line of code:

c.drawInlineImage("gclogo_color.gif", .5*inch, 10.*inch,4*inch)
