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

Yes, I think he is the one that wrote the plugin. I did incorporate it into my rails app but no joy.

Update! I was able to get the Flash Ruby synergy all dialed in (sorta). I updated my blog with the code and details: http://www.collcoll.com/index.php/2005/11/15/more-on-flash-and-ruby-posting/ I am able to get uploads that store the files on the physical drive as opposed to as a blob in the database. At first I was a bit confused why this was but then it dawned on me that I was creating the object in the first method. def new @picture = Picture.new ... show the upload page end then when flash was called to submit to the page I got an error because my picture object was nil. I can only assume this is because the ruby and flash upload happens outside of the scope of ruby''s session object. When the file was submitted ruby would have no context in which to view the request. This brings up an interesting question. I originally inteded on doing some sort of lock/key system whereby my first method would define a variable and then pass it along to flash so that it could be embeded into the post (and authenticated by ruby). This would keep simultanious users from clobbering each other and prevent people from subverting my upload process. Here is another problem related to the first. Presently my app authenticates the user before the URL filter. If the user is not authenticated then it redirects them to the login. Knowing that I cannot append anything side the actual post object I guess I am left with only one option which is to append it to the url string. Is this wise, does anyone have a better idea?
