Hello rail users, I''ve now been surfing the web to see how the trend is in doing file uploading in rails. So far not much progress. Apart from the form setup, the methods seem as many as there are people writing about them. My needs are pretty simple I think, but being new to rails I''m having some difficulties about how to put them to practise in the best way inside the rails framework. My preferred method with doing file uploads is having a special folder where the files go to, maybe some splitting depending on the mime type. Then having all the files info in the database, such as mime type, filesize, path, filename etc. Now this is where I''m at right now. Ok not making it long lets just say I''ve generated the model and connected it to some other models in my db. What are your preferred ways in completing this task and first and foremost my main question concerning almost all my rails questions. How much code do I have to do, not that I''m unusually lazy just my experience and problems related to rails so far have been down this road. I spend some time doing something just to find out 1 day later that there is a helper for this. To sum up, again how would you implement these needs the "rails" way and how extensive is the file uploading support in rails.

Taylor Strait wrote:> Search for "file_column."No I think this is not what I''m after since this implies storing the data as a blob in the database. Just to make things clear if someone misunderstood. Filedata in filesystem, fileinfo in database. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Taylor Strait wrote:> Search for "file_column."Sorry for that last post, read a little better and understand this better now. Still it seems rather restricted in the sense it''s only storing the path. Maybe i''ll try and tweak it to include more metadata.
