A couple questions about file_field elements. First, with code such as this: <%= file_field ''attachments'', ''filename'' %> Would the filename of the file I select be the value that''s stored within the database under the "filename" column, and then I would just add in code in my "create" controller to upload the actual file?

I am uploading a .csv file for importing into a database; however, this file does not need to be saved on the server. How do I get the file name of the original file? I know about the file_column plugin but I don''t need/want to save the uploaded file on the server, I just need to import it and delete it. Right now the file name get returned as some random temp file name... there has to be

Hi! Im developing a simple prototype of an application. It fills an oracle db with data about a file in the filesystem, and save the entire file in a blob along with some metadata. To get the file in the db i use a file_field form helper. All goes well with the radrails-integrated browser, but it doesnt work anymore in firefox. The problem is, firefox seems to cut the pathname from the file. Here

Does anyone see any problem with this form? - form_remote_for(Photo.new, :html => {:multipart => true, :target => :uploader}) do |f| .form_element = f.label :photo = f.file_field :collateral = hidden_field_tag :container_id, @shoot.id = hidden_field_tag :container_type, @shoot.class.name .form_element = f.submit ''Add Photos'' The photo has a

In my item upload view I have: <%= file_field ''item'', ''file'' %> and in my Item model: def file @file #@file.original_filename # <- also tried this end def file=(file) @file=file end And if the upload bails because of errors (and renders the same page), all other fields (text_field, text_area, etc.) retain their inputted values, but the file

Hi all, I have a really really annoying problem that''s driving me nuts with file_field and paperclip and having to upload images everytime a form is edited even though the user is quite happy with the currently uploaded image or loose the previously uploaded image. This seems to be caused by the rails file_field helper not storing the data that has been read in from the db in the same

Does anyone know how to validate if a file has been selected using a file_field control? I want to ensure a file has been selected before the associated action is selected.

Hi, The documentation doesn''t make it clear why both file_field and file_field_tag are both useful. What is the reason for having two instead of just one of these? Thanks, Peter

Hi, My web app is mailing a lot of PDF attachments (invoices), thru ActionMailer. Pb is, ActionMailer dumps the contents of each PDF into my log.

When I do file_field within a form_for things are fine... but within a form_remote_for, with nothing else changed, I find that the params does not even have the element document[uploaded_file] even though it is definitely present in the HTML source in the form.

I''m new to ruby and rails, so sorry if this is a simple question. I''ve found lots of examples that demonstrate uploading pictures, but I need something simpler. Could someone post a simple example of uploading a text file, saving the file in an object and then "puts" the object text. I''m really getting lost in two steps: 1. How to get from file name to

Howdy Gang, in a major controller that has many methods using the same lookup tables for option choices and such, what is the life expectancy of the list instances. Is it useful to set these up in the controller initialize method - or is that utterly dumb? Cheers, Eric
