[Zope] Export file attachment to actual filesystem

[Daniel Tang]

Hello,

I've tried numerous ways to try to export a file attachment to a temp
directory in the actual filesystem, but have failed to do so.  Does anyone
know a way to do this?

I can export the file to the zope file system, but I would like to export
it to an actual directory outside of zope (e.g. /home/user/files/).



Thanks for anyone who has insight on this.





html page:

<FORM ACTION="mypage" METHOD="POST" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">

<INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="attach" VALUE="">



python code:

import string
import re
import time

form=context.REQUEST.form
REQUEST=context.REQUEST

if (form['attach'].filename != ''):

    mimename = form['attach'].filename

    mimearray = mimename.split(".")

    if (len(mimearray) > 1):
        mimetype = mimearray[-1]
    else:
        mimetype = "txt"

    filename = "f" + str(ad_id) + "." + mimetype
    new_id = "old_" + str(ad_id)


    content_type=form['attach'].headers['Content-Type']

    if content_type.find('image') != -1:    #.find() is a method in Python2.0<
        if hasattr(context.upload, filename):
            context.upload.manage_delObjects(filename)
            context.upload.manage_addImage(filename, form['attach'], filename)

        else:
            context.upload.manage_addImage(filename, form['attach'], filename)

    else:
       if hasattr(context.upload, filename):
           context.upload.manage_delObjects(filename)
           context.upload.manage_addFile(filename, form['attach'], filename)
       else:
           context.upload.manage_addFile(filename, form['attach'], filename)
