Re: Re: buildZipArchive

what I want to do is ...
an image uploaded into ZMS should be zipped and stored in a field of type file.

I tested it with a given image object (myImage) within zms ... which worked.

            <dtml-let myImage ="getObjProperty('myImage',REQUEST)">
                 <dtml-call "setObjProperty('file', myImage,lang)">
            </dtml-let>

now to my problem:
therefore I wanted to adapt the python script mentioned in the article below.
http://www.zms-publishing.com/dokumentation/magic/zip_archive_erstellen/index_ger.html

in ZMS home folder i created a python script - named packZip - with two parameters (tempfolder, filename)

tempfolder is created by localfs_tempfile() command

        <dtml-let file="getObjProperty('myImage',REQUEST)" filename="file.getFilename()" tempfolder="localfs_tempfile()">

then the image is copied to the temporary folder

         <dtml-call "localfs_write('%s/%s'%(tempfolder,filename),file.getData(),mode='b')">

this works so far.

i call the python script like this:

            <dtml-let zipFile="packZip(tempfolder,filename)">
                <dtml-call "setObjProperty('zipfile',zipFile,lang)">
            </dtml-let>

this python script (packZip) builds a zipfile (in memory or in system filesystem) and asigns the zipfile to the variable exportfile
exportfile is the return value of a python script:

            exportfile = context.buildZipArchive( '%s/*.*'%tempfolder )
            return exportfile

even writing the exportfile into tempfolder within the python script works.

this all seems to work properly ... but i can not store the returned exportfile in zms.
when trying to store it in a text field there is a lot of junk ... but it seems to work somehow - so to say: there some data which is returned by the python script. ;)

I hope this makes the problem more clear.

regards, Thorsten
