I'm trying to implement a system of uploading a file (image) to the server running pyramid. Right now, this code gives me an AttributeError: 'unicode' object has no attribute 'file' exception:
Server-side:
session = Session()
username = authenticated_userid(request)
if username == None:
return HTTPNotFound()
else:
user = session.query(User).filter(User.username == username).first()
if 'photo.submitted' in request.params:
input_file = request.POST['file_input'].file
tmp = '../static/images/%s' % (session.query(ProfilePic).order_by(-ProfilePic.photo_id).first().photo_id + 1)
open(tmp, 'w').write(input_file.read())
tmp.close()
return Response('OK')
return {}
HTML:
<html>
<body>
<form action="/settings" method="post">
<input type="file" name="file_input" value="Choose image" />
<p><input type="submit" name="photo.submitted" value="Save" /></p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Something that seems simple, but won't work. I was trying to follow this tutorial, but it seems it only works with video/audio files. How could I make this work?
For file uploads, you need to alter the form enctype to use multipart/form-data:
<html>
<body>
<form action="/settings" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="file_input" value="Choose image" />
<p><input type="submit" name="photo.submitted" value="Save" /></p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
