Rename title in storage without creating new one in bootle python

Question

I'm new to this. My problem is when I want to edit the text in aritcle(Artikel) everything seems fine, but when I edit the name/title it's creating a new article with the edited version, while the first article title I tried to change exists.

I think is "fname = "storage/" + name" which ruining everything

@route("/new-page", method="POST")
def new_page():

  
    name = getattr(request.forms, "title")
    text = getattr(request.forms, "text")
    **fname = "storage/" + name**
    with open(fname, "w") as mfile:
       
        mfile.write(name + text)
        mfile.close()
    redirect("/")

import json
from bottle import run, route, template, static_file, request, redirect
from os import listdir


def file_scan(fname):
    fname = "storage/" + fname
    try:
        mfile = open(fname, "r")
        pages = mfile.read()
        mfile.close()

        return pages
    except:
        mfile = open(fname, "w")
        mfile.write([])
        mfile.close()

        return []


def file_print():
    file = listdir("storage")
    files = []
    for i in file:
        if i != ".DS_Store":
            i.split()
            files.append(i)
    return files

@route('/')
def index():
    return template("index", files=file_print())

@route("/add")
def edit_form():
    return template("add", files=file_print())


@route("/edit/<name>")
def edit(name):
    return template("edit", files=file_print(), name=name, text=file_scan(name))

@route("/wiki/<name>")
def wiki(name):
    return template("wiki", text=file_scan(name), name=name, files=file_print())


@route("/new-page", method="POST")
def new_page():

  
    name = getattr(request.forms, "title")
    text = getattr(request.forms, "text")
    fname = "storage/" + name 
    with open(fname, "w") as mfile:
       
        mfile.write(name + text)
        mfile.close()
    redirect("/")

Answer 1

First you can call request.forms.get('title')

2 ways to solve this problem.

• Create an ID that stays with the document, which will require you to track the relationship of the ID and Title in a database

• If they change the title, have a hidden input that is a copy of the original and rename the file to the new name. This keeps you from keeping track of an ID in a database, but can get messy.

Example:

@route("/new-page", method="POST")
def new_page():
    name = request.forms.get("title")
    orig = request.forms.get("original")
    text = request.forms.get("text")
    if orig and orig in os.path.exists(f'storage/{orig}':
        os.rename(f'storage/{orig}', f'storage/{name}')
    fname = "storage/" + name 
    with open(fname, "w") as mfile:
        mfile.write(name + text)
        mfile.close()
    redirect("/")
