Hello all, I get the message below when I try to use the file_column plugin in my app to upload files. I have followed the instructions on the file_column website and the RoR rails wiki with no luck. Any ideas? I would be happy to provide more details wrt my controller, view, model, etc should they be required! I am not doing anything crazy though so I think I am just overlooking something. Error: Do not know how to handle a string with value ''misc.jpg'' that was passed to a file_column. Check if the form''s encoding has been set to ''multipart/form-data''. Thanks in advance!

Your form needs to be rendered as multipart because it is handling
binary data (the file being upload).
In the view which displays the form with the file upload add ":multipart
=> true", as an example:
<%= start_form_tag({:action=>''update'', :id =>
@category}, :multipart =>
true)%>
hope that helps, Kris.

Perfect! I had that statement but not with the brackets as you did. Thanks so much!

I have been trying to use file_column, and it does work partially, the
files are uploaded to my server, but then when I do @user.icon it
returns nil. My file_column definition looks like this: file_column
:icon, :magick => {:size => "100x100" }
I display it in a form (with multipart) like this:
<%= file_column_field ''user'', ''icon''
%>
I have noticed in the params that the icon is a StringIO (which is
normal for files under 10kb), but icon_temp is nil. I am using
file_column .3.1.
Thanks,
Ben Hiller
