I'm still confused about the uploadfolder.
Why do I need to specify it when using SQLFORM.factory but not when
using SQLFORM.smartgrid over a table with an 'upload' field.
Why doesn't it use the default /uploads folder?
Where does the default get set?
I'm following the example as in the book on page 342. I'm running
trunk, updated this morning at 8:20 central.

Uploadfolder sets a custom folder instead of app/uploads. The function
parameters are available at API docs:

found the solution.
in the code below, change line
importfile = request.vars.importFile.file
to
importfile = request.vars.importFile.value
Still don't know why I need the uploadfolder, but this solved my main issue.

Hi
I have an upload field defined in a SQLFORM.factory form as follows:
def wasptime():
from reports.payroll import wasptime
response.title = 'WASPTime Payroll Import Conversion'
form = SQLFORM.factory(
Field('importFile', 'upload', label='WASPTime File',
uploadfolder='c:/deleteme/payroll/test'),
Field('processDate', 'date', required=True,
requires=IS_DATE('%m/%d/%Y'),
label='Process Date'))
if form.process().accepted:
importFile = request.vars.importFile.file
processDate = request.vars.processDate
wasptime.payrollImport(processDate, importFile, 'testfile.csv')
return dict(form=form)
in my wasptime.payrollImport method I am trying to read through the
lines in the uploaded file using:
def payrollImport(dateWorked, f, outputFile):
for line in f.readlines():
...processing takes place here for each line in the file
but, I'm not getting any lines to print. Can't seem to find the right
way to handle this.
In addition, why do I need to specify an uploadfolder in the 'upload'
field definition in SQLFORM.factory?
Thanks
