Hi, I downloaded FileColumn plugin and love the concept. But when I tried the example listed on the plugin web site, I got the following error: NoMethodError in Entry#new undefined method `file_column'' for Entry:Class My environement is Red Hat linux 9.0 with mysql 4.1. I installed file_column under vendor/plugins. If I run "ls", I get the following directories: file_column rails_file_column I created a directory, " file_column" and copied files under "trunk" to file_column. Please see my controller, models and new.rhtml attached. Could anyone tell me why I got the error? It seems that rails can not find "file_column" plugin. Thanks in advance. -- -Thomas entry.rb: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ class Entry < ActiveRecord::Base file_column :image end entry_controller.rb:

One other thing I noticed that I can''t seem to find documented anywhere, is that the... <%= image_tag url_for_file_column "model_name", "column_name" %> ... stuff wasn''t working, since it was returning a path that didn''t exist. The path being returned included "development", eg: /model_name/column_name/development/2/image_name.jpg ... when the actual path to the file was: /model_name/column_name/2/image_name.jpg ... so what I did to address this was to go to my /model_name/column_name directory (inside public), and type: ln -s . development ... which fixed it, but seems to be a slightly kludgy thing to do (and I have no idea what Windows users could do about this problem, but that''s not my concern). Anyway, it''s working now, and this is for such a simple site that I''m not looking to spend long working out why some things are a little bit weird with the plugin! The rmagick integration creating multiple resized versions is particularly sweet - I''m a happy little code monkey! ;-) ~Dave -- Dave Silvester Rent-A-Monkey Website Development Web: http://www.rentamonkey.com/

I cobbled together a few lines from my .bash_history (to make the instructions more concise) and I guess I mis-typed or mis-pasted that one.> I also had to "mv vendor/plugins/file_column/tags/rel_0-3-1/* vendor/ > plugins/file_column" > However I am still getting this when I try to display an uploaded image: > undefined method `url_for_file_column'' for #<Entry:0x250a82c> > Any ideas?Well, I did it differently to you - didn''t move any specific tags / trunk / branches stuff, just moved the whole thing. So: dave@slynux $ pwd /path/to/my/rails/app/vendor/plugins/file_column dave@slynux $ ls branches tags trunk dave@slynux $ cd tags/ dave@slynux $ ls rel_0-3 rel_0-3-1 Does that help? Admittedly, I somewhat ignored part of the instructions and the wiki, since I wasn''t quite sure the instructions exactly matched my setup / the current version of the plugin, so figured I''d try and do it myself, then see what broke. Perhaps I should consider myself lucky that it worked first time? Does your app appear to be creating the images (inside public) when you add them? If it''s creating them but not downloading them, then I''m not sure, since that would mean the plugin was found OK (I think), but that something else is going wrong. If it''s not creating them, I guess that means the plugin totally didn''t work for you, so at least you know where to start looking for a fix. Only other thing I can think of is to make sure you''re running the latest gem Rails version (or newer, I guess). Here''s my script/about for this app: About your application''s environment Ruby version 1.8.2 (i686-linux) RubyGems version 0.8.11 Rails version 1.0.0 Active Record version 1.13.2 Action Pack version 1.11.2 Action Web Service version 1.0.0 Action Mailer version 1.1.5 Active Support version 1.2.5 Application root /path/to/my/rails/app Environment development Database adapter mysql Each time I upgrade, I''ve got in the habit of uninstalling the old versions of my gems, so I only have one version of each installed. I have no idea if this is necessary or even desirable, but it doesn''t seem to have done me any harm so far. Also, apologies for all this /path/to/my/rails/app stuff, I just prefer not to mention client names in public archived emails, just to be on the safe side.

I can create and upload them just fine, even using RMajick to scale them. Trying to load them back is where I get the issues. I am thinking I might just be doing something stupid but I can''t figure it out.

Woohoo!! Thanks Dave, I owe you big time. For some reason I never stumbled across that Wiki page ;-/ FYI if you don''t specify what image it uses the original non-scaled version from what I can tell.
