Hi Ara, since Duane seems to be using file_column (great, Duane!), I''ll try to help with this.

It seems that with your setup, the rails app is started with RAILS_ROOT being "/var/www/html/" which doesn''t seem right to me. If you could somehow start your app in a way that RAILS_ROOT points to "/var/www/ror/familyconnect", everything should be fine... Hope this helps Sebastian

I suppose there''s an opportunity for hacking if you''d like to get file_column to work with the command line ImageMagick tools (rather than via rmagick)--however, I don''t think that''d be any easier than just installing rmagick. Out of curiousity, what platform are you running on? I''ve found that until recently getting rmagick to run on FreeBSD and Mac OS X was a pain, but the ports scripts have become *much* better. I was pleasantly surprised and wrote a blog about it (for Mac OS X) [1].

I have some genealogy records to do myself. It''s kind of cool to do family research, isn''t it? With regard to your error, it looks to me like file_column is trying to write the resized image to the destination folder and failing. Is it possible that the application''s ''public'' folder doesn''t have write permissions set for the process? Duane Johnson (canadaduane) http://blog.inquirylabs.com/

I have some genealogy records to do myself. It''s kind of > cool to do family research, isn''t it?Well my mother did all the hard paperwork some years ago - I am trying to get her using the web so she can get back to it (my father finally got around to installing another computer for her . .). I thought I could use FamConn as a convenient tool to draw her and other family members into making all the genealogy stuff electronic and doing more work on it.> With regard to your error, it looks to me like file_column is trying > to write the resized image to the destination folder and failing. Is > it possible that the application''s ''public'' folder doesn''t have write > permissions set for the process?I just did: find . -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \; -print in the familyconnection-1.0 dir again just to make sure (I HAD done it before) but still get the same problem . . the file: ./public/photo/image/tmp/1136616748.481329.19086/img0.jpg has zero bytes in it - so the file does get created but nothing goes into it. I can actually copy the original jpg into that dir (and the "thumb" dir beneath it) so it does not seem to be a creation problem . .

This looks like a great start! Any more features planned? I currently use a mambo site for this exact purpose With a family calendar and shout function I would be able to convert. Good stuff!

There are several planned features--some of which are far in the future. Some people have already expressed interest in adding i18n support. We''ll see where that goes. As for the immediate future, here are some of my plans: - Ability to delete users/change user info for admin - Ability to edit posts as admin- Photo album - Date of last member visits - Add birthday to users table? - Email notifications for news postings or address changes - Make own page say "Add a photo" if there is no photo. Add a link that says "Change photo". - "Add your family photo here" on front page if none uploaded during setup These are possibilities in the future: - Gift registry / interests / hobbies - Add events and calendars - Print address book - Annecdotes / history - Recipes - File cabinet - wills, birth certs - Reviews - Group mailings What, by the way, is a ''shout'' function? Is it the same thing as ''email notifications for news postings'' as above? Regards, Duane Johnson (canadaduane) http://blog.inquirylabs.com/
