I really want to try out file_column but the repository seems to be down for me. I added it to my repository list and script/plugin is unable to see anything in it. I downloaded an archive from the website but it is not clear to me which files need to be installed to which subdirs of my RoR project. Anyone else having this issue with the repository? I am able to see other repositorys no problem. Thanks in advance. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

No idea why. You can download my version of file_column, which differs from the main one (mostly by using `mogrify ... ` instead of RMagick) in undocumented ways. http://svn.kylemaxwell.com/file_column/ -- Kyle Maxwell Chief Technologist E Factor Media // FN Interactive kyle@efactormedia.com 1-866-263-3261

I set it up and am running it on Linux and when I plug my SD memory card, the files are all lower case and file_column/rmagic do their thing and the file name remains all lower case. When I went to my client''s office and stuck the same SD card into their Macintosh, the picture file names were all upper case and the files transferred by file_column/rmagic were all upper case which is a pita with view code manipulation because I now have to accommodate any scenario. Has anyone come up with a better fix than view code? Craig

Thanks, I grabbed the archive, figured out how to manually install, and am now running. Apprciate you confirming the server is down. Now I need to figure out how to update a file for a given record. For example if I have a field called image in Entry, and the user has already uploaded an image file, I want to enable the user to replace the file when he edits the record. Perhaps I need to do a before_update callback in Entry, and compare the tmp uploaded file to the one in the database, and if different delete the file and allow the new one to be placed in the filesystem and on the db? Anyone done this? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Very similar to allowing a user to update his avatar image and only enbaling him to have 1 image stored at a time. Anyone done this? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

That should work I wasn''t going to hack the code if there was something I missed but this should suffice Thanks Craig

Here''s a link to the solution (and the thread discussing it): http://www.devlists.com/message/35524 jt
