When you create an upload field using the DAL, the filename is stored in the upload field itself, so you can get the filepath via:
import os filepath = os.path.join(request.folder, 'uploads', row.upload_field_name) The above assumes all uploads go directly in the /uploads folder. If you have specified an alternative upload folder, you will need to use that instead of "uploads" (also, if you set uploadseparate=True, that will take some extra work to get the full path).
