Hi,

try it with a HTML-file-upload-form and a PythonScript, which handles 
storing the file/image in the ZODB:

DTML-Method with id=addFileForm:
--------------------------------
...
<form action="addFile" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  <input type="file" name="file">
  <input type="submit" value=" Upload ">
</form>
...

PythonScript with id=addFile; Paramter List = file
--------------------------------------------------

context.manage_addProduct['OFSP'].manage_addImage(id='',
                                                  title='', file=file)
return context.REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect('whereDoYouWantToGo')

And that's it...

Cheers, Maik
