Hi all, I''ve asked some seriously detailed questions about this in other forums and you''d think I''d set some user preference to "set my posts to invisible". LOL When it comes right down to it, my question is simple. Can you use 1 form to save an object and that object''s attachment?. All of the examples I''ve seen (all 2 of them) show the controller/model/view for DVD Covers, but not for DVDs. Why would you have two actions for this? One page to create the DVD and another to create the DVD Cover? It seems silly to me. I want to create/upload and validate both at the same time, in the same form. IS THIS POSSIBLE? If so, do you have any example code? Am I making sense here? Isn''t it better to input all of the information for the DVD and upload the cover on the same page? I have other issues with this plugin, but I thought I''d start here. (for instance, I''ve specified file_system_path => ''public/files'' and it is still looking for the db_files table...)

In addition to the mandatory fields that aaa needs you can define as many additional fields, validations etc to your model. SO you can have DVD and DVD attachment in the same form.> I have other issues with this plugin, but I thought I''d start here.

It''d work like creating to of any other models in the same controller action: Something like that, though you can get more creative and create the cover in an after_save callback of the dvd if you want. def create @dvd = Dvd.new(params[:dvd] @dvd_cover = DvdCover.new(params[:dvd_cover]) Dvd.transaction do @dvd.save! @dvd_cover.dvd = @dvd @dvd_cover.save! end end> I have other issues with this plugin, but I thought I''d start here. (for > instance, I''ve specified file_system_path => ''public/files'' and it is > still looking for the db_files table...)That''s because the key is :path_prefix, not :file_system_path. :file_system_path still works though, it''s a legacy option. Here''s the logic you''re looking for: options[:storage] ||= (options[:file_system_path] || options[:path_prefix]) ? :file_system : :db_file So, you may have to write some tests to see why that''s not working. I''ve never seen any issues with that though.> AAAAAGGGHH,Settle down, generate the rdocs from the source, or just read the source.
