Rails - May 2007 - upload_column problems on post after validation error

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 = "400x400"

  image_column :photo_1, :store_dir => HOSTEL_PHOTO_DIR,
                         :versions => { :thumb => HOSTEL_PHOTO_THUMB, 
:normal => HOSTEL_PHOTO_NORMAL},
                         :filename => Proc.new {|inst, orig, ext| 
"photo_1.#{ext}"}

View (signup_customer.rhtml):
  <% upload_form_tag :action => "update_customer" do %>
    ...
    <label for="hostel_photo_1">Photo 1</label>
    <%= upload_column_field "hostel", "photo_1" %>
  <% end %>

Controller:
  def update_customer
    begin
      ...
      hostel.attributes = params[:hostel]   # Where the error occurred...
      hostel.save!
    rescue
      @hostel = hostel
       render :action => "signup_customer"
    end
  end

Now, if I post the form without validation exception, all works good !!!

But if I try to post the form without a required field I give an 
exception and the controller show the form again, if I put the required 
data and post again I receive this exception:

invalid format of
''hostel/117/photo_1.jpg;0182-Problemi-gravi.jpg''

|vendor/plugins/uploadcolumn/lib/upload_column.rb:431:in `set_path''

`method_missing''
app/controllers/hostel_controller.rb:53:in `update_customer''|

At line 53 in hostel_controller.update_customer there is the line:

      hostel.attributes = params[:hostel]   # Where the error occurred...

I don''t know how to solve this problem !!!

Can you help me ????

Thanks in advance !!!

Tex.

That''s because it tryes to assign photo_1_temp before photo_1.

This should work:
def update_customer
    begin
      ...
      hostel.attributes = params[:hostel][:photo_1] if 
params[:hostel][:photo_1]
      hostel.attributes = params[:hostel]   # Where the error occurred
      ...
      hostel.save!
    rescue
      @hostel = hostel
       render :action => "signup_customer"
    end
end
