similar to: file upload

I''m writing a ''Mailman'' model that catches emails sent to my application (kind of like backpack, I think). The trouble is that I''d like to save image attachments in the same was that file_column saves them--in fact, I''d really like to use a simple assignment like photo.image = attachment to save the image in its proper place. However,

Hi, Rails - newbie here.. I''m setting up an app and am trying to use file_column to upload a picture with an item and I''m running into several problems. (Background: I''m running Locomotive Rails under OS X 10.4.4, and using Safari) I followed the directions to add the necessary items, then found out that I had to add the item to make the form tag be a multipart

Is there a simple way of forcing file_column to download file from given (ex. in form) url instead of uploading it manualy? I know: http://blog.caboo.se/articles/2006/01/09/file_column-magick-and-versions require ''open-uri'' Attachment.find_first.filename = open(url) if not working as expected... what is interesting is that: >> @a =

I wasn''t sure where to email this request, so I am hoping the author of file_column actually sees this. I was wondering if there were any plans to allow some configurability in the file_column plugin. By configurability I mean allowing the developer to define which table column is used as the unique identifier when creating image folders. Right now it seems like it uses the ID of the

Is there a way to find out the attributes that have been passed to file_column in models? I''ve looked through the source and it seems that the file_column methods are generated at runtime but there''s actually no class or instance variable that hold the file attribute. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I''m curious if anyone knows if development on the file_column plug in is continuing? I''ve seen some SVN commits from awhile back but no binary releases. Did Sebastian speak at Canada on Rails? Anyone catch that? What is the future of file_column?

Hi, I am using file_column for some image uploading. I want to have all the images stored under one root which I have managed by setting the :store_dir option as below. file_column :filename, :store_dir => File.join(RAILS_ROOT, ''public'', ''images'', ''products'') So, my images get uploaded to: /public/images/products/<primary_key>

After I installed the very sweet file_column plugin I get strange output on my html pages. At the very end I always get something like this: "Loaded suite dispatch.cgi Started Finished in 0.000218 seconds. 0 tests, 0 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors " Seems like there is executed a non existent test suite for every page load. Can anybody help me find the lines that force this

Hi all, I''m using Capistrano and SVN to version control and deploy, but I''m not sure what to do about my images directory. I use file_column and RMagick to save images to the disk under a model called "Image", and they''re saved in public/image/... etc. Each time I deploy a new version, my image folder doesn''t exist anymore. I don''t want

file_column is great -- but I need a way to run through the validations (ie: validates_file_format_of) before saving. That is, when a user first uploads an image it is displayed in the view but not ''saved'' until they click the ''Save'' button on the form. I want to display an error message/disable the ''Save'' button if the file they just

Hello, I''m working on an import utility that will match the functionality of uploading an object of a model that uses attachment_fu for thumbnailing, etc. Rather than uploading the file via a form, I want to populate the params[:image][:uploaded_data] with data from a file already on the server''s file system. So far, I''ve been able to copy to an instance of Tempfile

I was looking at Kyle Mawell''s extremely nifty-looking StateModels plugin http://www.kylemaxwell.com/articles/2006/02/06/fun-with-single-table-inheritance and before I go down the road with it, I was wondering if anyone has used it with file_column. The way file_column deals with an uploaded file -- by storing it to the filesystem in a path that employs the model name and id --

Quick Question. I understand how to change the default path to something other than public but what if I wanted to add another directory into the equation. I want to upload an image into the following structure: /public/image/userid/imageid/test.gif So basically I want to look up the userid in my users table and put all the images for that user in the same directory. So i have a one
