Hi Rubiests, This is my first posting to the rails group so please forgive me if this is a well-covered question (though I did check the wiki and the faqs on the site). I am trying to create a Flash-based bulk uploader for my first Ruby project. You can see an example of the uploader running in a PHP script here: http://www.flavoredthunder.com/dev/flash/flashUploader/ This works swimmingly in php but there is no joy in Ruby. I am using version "0.14.3" of Rails and "1.8.2" of Ruby on a Mac OS X "10.3 " The webbrick spits out a very unceremonious error when I try to call my "admin/flash_create" action: [14/Nov/2005:23:10:01 PST] "POST /admin/flash_create HTTP/1.1" 500 8175 - -> /admin/flash_create When doing some research on the problem I found a bug report on the rails site: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/2277 They suggested installing the flash-fix plugin. I have installed the flash-fix plugin into my vender/plugin directory but was unsure what to do past that. My very basic method in the admin_controller is: def flash_create @params[''Filedata''][''content_name''] File.basename(@params[''Filedata''][''tmp_name''].original_filename).gsub(/[^a-zA-Z0-9.]/, ''_'') @params[''Filedata''][''content_type''] @params[''Filedata''][''tmp_name''].content_type.chomp @params[''Filedata''][''data''] = @params[''Filedata''][''tmp_name''].read @params[''Filedata''].delete(''tmp_name'') @photo = Photo.new(@params[''Filedata'']) @photo.save end "Filedata" is the field that Macromedia specifies for their multipart file transfers Any help is greatly appreciated! thanks, Mark -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- I am Mark Daggett and I approve this message. _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails
