similar to: file_column with both root_path and store_dir

I''m using file_column to store mulitple versions of an image in a custom directory "images/artwork/" with the :store_dir option. This is working fine for uploading and storing the images, but whenever I try and access the images with the url_for_file_column helper it keeps generating the default path. I thought it would replace this by default, but it doesn''t seem to.

File_column plugin is great. I need to change the default :store_dir from the dynamic "model_name/attribute_name" to an equally dynamic "client_id/app_id/model_name/attribute_name". In my model I have: class Component < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :component_type belongs_to :component_group breakpoint file_column :content, :magick => { :versions

I use file_column and it works fine. I tried to change the store_dir to a the path I want my files to be stored and not the default. I stored some images fine. But when I try to reach my images it seems like file_column uses the model_name/attribute_name on the image and not the store_dir I used. How can I change this ? Thanks in advance -- Alexander Antonakakis

I have a file uploader application in ROR using the very nice FileColumn plugin. In looking at the source code I can see that there is a DEFAULT_OPTION hash with some root path options and such which can be merged from an options paramater. These static path changes are not a problem. My question is dynamic path options. My upload form, when you boil it down, has two fields. The first is

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>

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},

i''ve changed store_dir to :store_dir => "public/uploads/users/pictures/" that works great for uploading, but url_for_file_column is still outputting: /user_picture/image/id/name.jpg how do i make url_for_file_column output the correct url? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have several models that will be using file_column by way of the "Picture" class (HABTM). Right now, all pictures are stored in: public/picture/image/1/filename1.jpg public/picture/image/2/filename2.jpg Is there a way I can dynamically define the "store_dir" based on the model? For example, if I have "user", "product" and "place" models all

Guys I''ve been struggling with this one for a couple of hours, and nothing seems to work here, any advice would be duly appreciated... Background: I''m busy working on a plugin called "shared_models", allowing you to easily share models between different applications, running different database or on the same database. The plugin is nearly complete, offering a

using file_column plugin, if I upload IMG0001.JPG, I get files similarly named IMG0001-thumb.JPG, etc. but if I upload img00002.jpg, I get files img00002-thumb.jpg, etc. This is tacky in terms of my counting on a consistency when implementing views. My inclination is to start hacking away at this section of file_column.rb: class PermanentUploadedFile < RealUploadedFile # :nodoc: def

ok, here''s the deal. I''m having an issue using the file_column plugin on dreamhost. Everything works great on my local dev machine using webrick. On dreamhost i have no errors, but initially the uploaded images where stored in /public/user/...etc... When the image should have displayed I just got the filename instead. I though it might be a routing issue, so I tweaked the

I am having some strange issues with file column today. This goes back to something that I was working on before and successfully have it working on my development box however it is not working on my staging machine. I have a dynamic_dir action set up for file_column that is called via the :store_dir => :dynamic_dir the action is this: def dynamic_dir

Hi everyone, I have a photo site that I''m making and I''m using file_column to handle the auto-generation of several "version" of each photo: essentially thumbs and fuller-sized version. The full sized versions retain the original''s proportions, whereas the thumbs are all 4:3. This means most of the thumbs are cropping the original. This all works great, but I

Hi to all the crew ! I''ve a little (big ?) problem. I''m using upload_column plugin, it works very well but it throws an exception when I try to repost the form after a validation error. Here some details: Model: (hostel.rb) HOSTEL_PHOTO_DIR = Proc.new {|inst, attr| "hostel/#{inst.id}"} HOSTEL_PHOTO_THUMB = "100x100" HOSTEL_PHOTO_NORMAL =

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:

Has anybody gotten :hard_breaks to work with RedCloth? I''m doing: self.body_html = RedCloth.new(self.body).to_html(:textile) which works, except that it doesn''t transform hard breaks to <br /> tags, which is really important for me. However, if I do: self.body_html = RedCloth.new(self.body, [ :hard_breaks ]).to_html(:textile) then it converts ALL breaks into <br

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

I also posted this on Rails Engines forum. Sorry for the double post. I am trying to configure file_column plugin so that it stores the images in a directory completely outside of RAILS_ROOT. I have no problems in storing the files by setting :root_path option. But I can''t get to display these images using ''url_for_file_column''. What I get instead of the image is

I asked this question earlier and did recieve an answer but I am not sure Ifully understood the answer as I am getting all sorts of errors when trying to implement. Basically I want to add a layer to the path for my files. I have the following set up in my model class: file_column :image, :store_dir => :dynamic_dir def dynamic_dir

Hi all, I''ve just started working on another RoR project after a couple of months away. I''m having trouble with named routes, specifically root_* In previous apps I''ve used root_path and root_url without any problems, but in this project (2.3.2 - the same as my last project where I used it) it comes up undefined. I''ve double and triple checking my routes.rb,
