I'm looking for a listing of errata for the web2py book but I don't see one. I looked in all the usual suspect areas -- AlterEgo, here, the website, etc.
My issue is the section on using form_factory to generate a form for uploading a file that I do not want to store in the database directly, but which will be processed into database records (e.g. a CSV file). The book covers this explicitly in section 7.3 on page 177, but the example seems missing a few details. For one thing, it does not create an SQLField of type "upload" at all -- only two text fields. When I try to create a form using the form_factory with only an upload field, it seems to make the form all right, but submitting it does not trigger the form.accepts() block in the controller. I can see the request.var.field_name set, but it is a FieldStorage object and I'm not sure what to do with it! This is the kind of detail I'd like to see added to the wiki. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py Web Framework" group.
