I implemented a file upload/download using attachment_fu, storing files in the DB. I''m running Vista, I can get files in and out, but it looks like I''m somehow ruining the formatting of Word .doc files. If I upload a .doc file, then download it, Word thinks it''s in Japanese plain/text or something. The actual contents of the document are intact, but the formatting is off. In my view I have <% form_for(:attachment_metadata, :url => { :action => "save" }, :html => { :multipart => true }) do %> <fieldset> <legend>Upload a file</legend> <div class="form_row"> <%= file_field :attachment_metadata, :uploaded_data %> </div> <%= render :partial => "user/submit_button", :locals => :button => "submit_button.png" } %> </fieldset> <% end %> in my controller I have: def save @attachable_file AttachmentMetadata.new(params[:attachment_metadata]) @attachable_file.account_id = @account if @account.attachment_metadatas << @attachable_file ... end def download @attachment = AttachmentMetadata.find(params[:id]) @file = @attachment.db_file send_data @file.data, :filename => @attachment.filename, :type => @attachment.content_type, :disposition => ''attachment'' end Has anyone else run into something like this? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
