Rails - Dec 2005 - Handling file uploads & mixing class and instance vars

Hey Everybody,

This is the only way I''ve been able to get my file
upload to work:

class Item < ActiveRecord::Base

  def file=(upload)
    @file=upload
  end

  def after_create
    File.open("public/items/#{self.id}.jpg", "w") {
|f| f.write(@file.read) }
  end

end

The upload form has "file_field ''item'',
''file'', ...".
I''ve tried using self.file (causes a stack error), and
@id (empty). It just feels wrong mixing class and
instance vars ;). Am I missing something?

Thanks,
csn
