Rails - Dec 2005 - FileColumn Help

i''ve changed store_dir to :store_dir =>
"public/uploads/users/pictures/"

that works great for uploading, but url_for_file_column is still 
outputting:

/user_picture/image/id/name.jpg

how do i make url_for_file_column output the correct url?

I''m trying to upload an image that will be displayed alongside a user
profile.
I''ve been trying to use FileColumn but haven''t had any luck. I
don''t receive any
errors, I just don''t get the file on the server.

Does anyone have any sample code they could share that demonstrates how I should
use FileColumn?

Thx
Alex

Be certain your upload forms are multipart. Here is some working code.

in the model
----------

class InsuranceForm < ActiveRecord::Base
  file_column :form_document
  validates_presence_of :form_title
  validates_presence_of :description
  validates_presence_of :form_document
end

in the view
---------

<%= error_messages_for ''insurance_form'' %>

<%= start_form_tag({:action => ''create''}, :multipart
=> true) %>
<p><label for="insurance_form_form_title">Form
title</label><br/>
<%= text_field ''insurance_form'',
''form_title''  %></p>

<p><label
for="insurance_form_description">Description</label><br/>
<%= text_area ''insurance_form'',
''description''  %></p>

<p><label for="insurance_form_form_document">Form
document</label><br/>
<%= file_column_field ''insurance_form'',
''form_document''  %></p>
<%= end_form_tag %>

<%= link_to ''Back'', :action => ''list''
%>

in the controller
--------------

def new
    @insurance_form = InsuranceForm.new
  end

  def create
    @insurance_form = InsuranceForm.new(params[:insurance_form])
    if @insurance_form.save
      flash[:notice] = ''InsuranceForm was successfully
created.''
      redirect_to :action => ''list''
    else
      render :action => ''new''
    end
  end

Just wanted to say thanks for the info.  Even though this was posted
awhile ago, it helped me get my uploading to work!!!
