Dear Alan and Massimo,
First, please look at this site:
*http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/file/dndfiles/*
It shows how to upload and read multiple files directly using HTML5 *(and
JavaScript)*.
It uses the *File API specification* from W3:
http://www.w3.org/TR/file-upload/
How to implement that in Web2Py for Email Composing with File Attachments?
*Controller*
def Composer():
form = FORM <http://localhost:8000/examples/global/vars/FORM>(TABLE
<http://localhost:8000/examples/global/vars/TABLE>(
TR <http://localhost:8000/examples/global/vars/TR>('Subject:', INPUT
<http://localhost:8000/examples/global/vars/INPUT>(_type='text',
_name='subject',
requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY
<http://localhost:8000/examples/global/vars/IS_NOT_EMPTY>())),
TR <http://localhost:8000/examples/global/vars/TR>('Email To:', INPUT
<http://localhost:8000/examples/global/vars/INPUT>(_type='text',
_name='emailto', _multiple="",
requires=IS_EMAIL
<http://localhost:8000/examples/global/vars/IS_EMAIL>())),
TR <http://localhost:8000/examples/global/vars/TR>('Save Draft?',
SELECT <http://localhost:8000/examples/global/vars/SELECT>('yes', 'no',
_name='savedraft',
requires=IS_IN_SET
<http://localhost:8000/examples/global/vars/IS_IN_SET>(['yes', 'no']))),
TR <http://localhost:8000/examples/global/vars/TR>('Body', TEXTAREA
<http://localhost:8000/examples/global/vars/TEXTAREA>(_name='body',
value='Body of email')),
*TR <http://localhost:8000/examples/global/vars/TR>( 'File', INPUT
<http://localhost:8000/examples/global/vars/INPUT>(_type='file', _id="files",
_name="files[]", _multiple="", _value='File test')*
* ), *TR <http://localhost:8000/examples/global/vars/TR>('', INPUT
<http://localhost:8000/examples/global/vars/INPUT>(_type='submit',
_value='EMAIL'))
))
if form.process().accepted:
response <http://localhost:8000/examples/global/vars/response>.flash =
'Form accepted'
if form.vars.savedraft:
*## SAVE DRAFT on IMAP ##*
draft_id = imapdb.Gmail_Drafts.insert(
to=form.vars.emailto, subject=form.vars.subject,
content=form.vars.body, draft=True,
*attachments = [ mail.Attachment(
form.vars.FILE.file.read(), filename=form.vars.FILE.filename ) ]*
)
response.flash = 'Email Saved'
else:
*## SEND Email by SMTP ##*
mail.send(
to = form.vars.emailto,
subject = form.vars.subject,
message = (form.vars.body, '<html>' + form.vars.body +
'</html>'),
*attachments = [ mail.Attachment( form.vars.FILE.file.read(),
filename=form.vars.FILE.filename ) ]*
)
response.flash = 'Email Sent'
elif form.errors:
response <http://localhost:8000/examples/global/vars/response>.flash =
'Errors in form'
else:
response <http://localhost:8000/examples/global/vars/response>.flash =
'Compose Email'
return dict(form=form)
*Questions*
- How to use *<input type='file', name="files[]", multiple="">* to
input files for Attachment to email?
- How to extract the required file attributes and append them directly
into the mail message and attachment?
- If the HTML5 provides a means to input, read and upload files, why
cannot we use that directly in web2py Email to read and attach multiple
files?
Please look into this and help implementing this.
Thank you, very much.
Gratefully,
*PRACHI V*
