Well, according to the Basecamp forums, 37signals are planning on using S3 for future storage from their Rails apps for customer data. We use S3 with great success from a Rails app. I''m curious - are there any S3 plug-ins out there or anyone with plans for one? Our support is very tailored to our need and not really suitable for an extraction without some re-work. We might do it if no one else has something going?

Hi Hunter, I havn''t seen any S3 plugins for simple file storage. This would be interesting - I''m pretty much in the same boat that you are. Using S3, but in a very implementation-specific way. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

As far as I know there''s no S3 plugin, but the Ruby libs provided by Amazon for use with S3 are so simple that you could easily make such a plugin yourself, or just use the S3 lib directly in a model. I''m not using S3 right this minute on any Rails projects (though I''m going to begin to add S3 support to a major app in a week or two) but I was able to hack TextMate''s blogging bundle (which is written in Ruby) to use S3 instead of my weblog server''s file upload feature in an afternoon. http://practicalmadness.com/2006/07/fun_with_textmate_and_amazon_s For my Big Project almost all of my S3-served files will be associated with records in the DB, so the S3 code will be going into a model. Like I said, the S3 libs are super-easy, and before you decide to invest any time in a plugin (vs. using the libs directly) you should look at how you plan to use S3 and decide where it makes the most sense to put the code. - DD On Oct 4, 10:46 am, HH <l...-HAWAbpnI61OZ1JSuHaJ1sQC/G2K4zDHf@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Well, according to the Basecamp forums, 37signals are planning on using S3 > for future storage from their Rails apps for customer data. > > We use S3 with great success from a Rails app. > > I''m curious - are there any S3 plug-ins out there or anyone with plans for > one?

Second is gem s33r (http://rubyforge.org/projects/s33r/). Currently I''m using first one, but looking at s33r. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
