When I do file_field within a form_for things are fine... but within a form_remote_for, with nothing else changed, I find that the params does not even have the element document[uploaded_file] even though it is definitely present in the HTML source in the form. Obviously the file upload fails. Am I missing something? Or has someone else faced this? Or is this a known bug?

The code difference is
<%
form_for :document, @document, :url => {:action =>
''create'', :popup=>true}, :html => {:multipart =>
true}, :method =>
''post'' do |f|
%>
<%
#form_remote_for :document, @document, :update =>
''content'', :url=>
{:action => ''create''}, :html => {:multipart => true},
:method =>
''post'' do |f|
%>
When the form_remote_for is commented the code works. When the
form_for is commented, code bombs saying Filename cannot be blank.

One known workaround is using a hidden frame so you can submit your form against it. There are some plugins that allow you to do that automatically. If memory serves me well, I''d say you can combine acts_as_attachment with respond_to_parent for example. Anyhow, by googling by ajax rails file upload you can propably get some more references. regards, javier ramirez -- -------- Estamos de estreno... si necesitas llevar el control de tus gastos visita http://www.gastosgem.com !!Es gratis!! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Mmmm... I didnt know file uploads were not supposed to Ajax... I never thought to search that out! I was shocked thinking there was a bug in Rails. A BUG IN RAILS, I thought!!! Anyways... I got this done with just respond_to_parent. Considering that my site will host on a shared Apache, I am wondering whether it is safe to implement upload_progress plugin. In development I use Mongrel. I dont want to run into environment issues because at this time upload_progress is not a VITAL feature, it is just a nice-to- have. Thanx for the quick response, Javier.

As a client-side technology, you don''t have to rely on serverside intricacies and it works wonderfully.

What are the risks of using respond_to_parent? I am an absolute zero on Flash. I dont even know how to get the flash thingies on to the screen and I would rather not go into it, unless I have to have to have to.

That being said, you _do_ have to rely on a user having Flash installed and having it _enabled_. Not a huge assumption but not more safe than assuming the user has JS active and we all know that''s not a given. </cents size="two"> RSL On 3/14/07, Peter De Berdt <peter.de.berdt-LPO8gxj9N8aZIoH1IeqzKA@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > > On 14 Mar 2007, at 15:04, K.

Hwhat? I must have missed something. Why would you have to recompile the server to use upload progress? But it _would_ indeed be a huge assumption that the host would do such a favor for you. :) RSL On 3/15/07, Peter De Berdt <peter.de.berdt-LPO8gxj9N8aZIoH1IeqzKA@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > > On 15 Mar 2007, at 15:22, Russell Norris wrote: > > That being said, you _do_ have to rely on a user having Flash installed > and having it _enabled_.

Just download the zip file on the site, open the javascript file and change the path to /javascripts/SWFUpload/upload.swf so that it follows rails conventions (this assumes you put the SWFUpload for in the public/javascripts/ folder of your rails app Apply the hack you find at http://blog.inquirylabs.com/2006/12/09/ getting-the-_session_id-from-swfupload/ if you need to retain your session. Include the swfupload javascript in your HTML, then put something like this in your view (and I''m doing : http://pastie.caboo.se/47116 SWFUpload will prompt the user to install flash if it''s not installed, as well as allow you to use a replacement normal file field in case Javascript is disabled. The end result can be something like this: http://www.10-forward.be/swfupload_rails.mov Best regards Peter De Berdt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
