similar to: problem with file_column storing images and other files

I have the following two methods: def ProductFile::find_images(mode, prod_id) # convert to symbol in case it is not (most commonly it may be a String) mode = mode.to_sym case mode when :all, :first ProductFile::find(mode, :conditions => ["product_id = ? AND file_type LIKE ?", prod_id, "image%"]) end end def ProductFile::find_documents(mode,

Is there a way to get the MIME extension of a file_column field? Here''s what I want to do (look for comment in before_save method): class ProductFile < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :product file_column :file_name def before_save self.file_type = # something that returns the MIME type (e.g. image/jpeg) end end TIA

I cannot get the file_column plugin to work. Probably something stupid I am doing wrong as I am pretty much a newbie... 1. I added a varchar column to my table called "image" 2. This is my class: class User < ActiveRecord::Base file_column :image, :magick => { :geometry => "80x80>" } attr_accessor :new_password ... rest of class 3. In my controller I

Hi there, I''m having some problems wityh the :magick options in file_coumn and wondered if anyone else had any similar ones: basically, file_column is working fine for me as is, but whenever I try to do an automatic resize or thumbnail I get the error ''invalid image''. It seems to be a path issue as I get: unable to open image

Hello, I had a problem cropping images with file_column. These are my settings: file_column :image, :magick => { :versions => { :thumb => "80x80>", :medium => "150x150>", :square => { :crop => "1:1", :size => "50x50!" } },

Hi, I have the following in a viewer Here, @lst = Homework.find(:all) is an array of homeworks. I checked this this is correct. Based on the error below, somehow, the url_for_file_colum does not like to act on the model element. I checked the source code to url_for_file_column, and the problem is with instance_variable_get(). I have no idea wat is going on! Any help is appreciated. Gordon.

Folks, I have a problem here. I have 2 DIDs, one a 415 number and the other a 650 number. I have my extensions.conf set up to handle both of them exactly the same way, passing them to an internal context. When _I_ dial either DID, I get exactly the same behaviour that I have specified (the call is answered, and then I play my own welcome mesage, then handle any extension dialed). However, when

I added this test towards the end of the included file_column_helper_test.rb that shipped with the file_column plugin: def test_url_for_file_column_different_root_path Entry.file_column :image, :root_path => File.join(RAILS_ROOT, "public/files") e = Entry.new(:image => upload(f("skanthak.png"))) assert_match %r{/public/files/entry/image},

Hi- I have a list of objects and each of them has an image. (like an array of person object, with name and picture as attributes) I need to display the images on the html in the thumb format. I use the following RMagic stuff to create the thumb image <% file_name = "pictures/" file_name << person.image_name file_name <<

Hi, I''m using the basic magick features of file_column, and while files are uploading fine without the magick options, as soon as I do something like :magick => { :size => "400x600" } I get an ''invalid file'' error. Further investigation reveals that the file is in fact invalid because something somewhere is truncating the file path:

Hi all, Has anyone successfully used WWW::Mechanize with file_column? I''m trying to upload a bunch of images to a custom controller, and something''s going wrong with the parameter names. Using a noddy controller :create action that looks like this: def create render :text => params.inspect end I get this result from a manual upload from a form:

I''m developing on Windows and deploying to FreeBSD+lighttpd using Switchtower and I''ve got things generally working. My problem now is that file_column data gets zapped every time I deploy, because Switchtower creates a whole new myapp/public directory with each rev. I looked through the file_column docs and found the :root_path option, which I use in my models as follows:

So ive recently finished up my first RoR application and made sure it all worked right on the windows machine i developed it on. then deployed it on GeekISP.com which runs Open/Free BSD. I had to jump through a few little hoops to get it working and set the permissions for file_column to create directories, but it still doesnt work right. When i go to add a new item to the database and try

Hi all, I patched file_column to add imagemagick transformations of uploaded content. I added an options hash, and it takes the :magick and :format keys. :magick is a string of imagemagick command line options for convert (Reference: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php). Format is an optional extension for the finished image. If Imagemagick recognizes the extension, then it will

I''m running file_column 0.3.1, and having a few problems... which are: - Uploading a 378x567 jpg, and using :magick => {:geometry => "100x100" }, my image ends up being 67x100 ? Is there a way to "force" the image to be the size you specify ? - My view has a drop-down of sizes, and I''m trying to pass in this size into :magick =>

Hi, Currently I''m using the file_column plugin to upload images and save multiple copies of each at 3 different resoltions: file_column :name, :magick => { :versions => { "thumb96" => "96x150>", "medium250" => "250x400>", "large480" => "480X640>" } } I am wondering if

Howdy. We use the handy file_column plug-in in some of our apps. We have a model with a file field and we upload both images and non-images into this field. It is specified as follows: file_column :file_uri, :magick => {:versions => {:thumbnail => {:size => ''200x''}}} Well, it works great for images but for non-images, the save fails. The root cause is an
