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.

Since this is a plugin, I''m wondering why I need

I installed FileColumn successfully but now find the need to get a new image size. I was wondering if there was a fast script, or method, that would run through all my products and use the existing mail file already submited and resize it according to the new specifications.

Hi, I am using file_column for some image uploading.

Hi, I have been using RMagick and File Column in my app together without a problem, but when I tried to add in some new functionality in my model where I use file_column, I got the error in the subject line.

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...

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

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''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?

Hello All, I''m using FileColumn to store images for a model in my app. I use filecolumn to scale uploaded images to different sizes. This much works fine. I then created a Ruby class for annotating text on the uploaded image. I tested this class from the shell and it works as expected. I then created a plugin for this class and hooked it up to the model. Here''s where I start

i''ve got the latest ruby and rails on this box and am seeing that image_tag will turn something like /foo/bar.jpg into /foo/foo/bar.jpg in the following situation: /ror/foo/public /var/www/html/foo -> /var/ror/foo/public/ image_tag("/foo/bar.jpg") this is exactly how compute_public_path is written to work: def compute_public_path(source, dir, ext)

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.
