In the end under the model I need to beable to do this
dirname = "/public/shows/#{controller.controller_name}/"
Thats it really. I am hacking a swfupload script and need to be able to
break it into lots of controllers so duplicating files is just insane if
I can not get this to work

I have no idea what you''re saying.... but if you need to pass things to the model, make an attribute accessor in the model. class MyModel < ActiveRecord::Base attr_accessor :some_var end Then you can do my_model = MyModel.new my_model.some_var = "test" my_model.some_var (should return "test" That''s how I pass lots of things to my models. Either that, or make a whole method in the model that does what you want and have it take parameters.

i will try this thank you.
What I am trying to do to change the string block in my Model to swap
out the code for the controller that is accessing it> Example code
#model
def dirname
dirname = "/public/shows/#{controller.controller_name}/"
end
I need it to turn into this
#model
def dirname
dirname = "/public/shows/caves/"
end
I cant get it to see the controller so far. The controller is simply
def upload
@box = Box.new
end
Infact it does not need the object creation. @box = Box.new
Just the view. Everything seems to happen in the øne attachment model
and the huge lib file I am trying to hack out the need for the model.

Ok I tried it. I am getting
Ok I tried it, but it it just puts the file one directory above
#model
class Attachment < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :attachable, :polymorphic => true
attr_accessor :seemee
#def self.get_upload_dir(controller)
# upload_dir = "public/attachments/#{controller}/"
#end
def dirname
@seee = seemee
##### This is working without the name.... weird....
# dirname = "public/attachments/#{self.controller}/"
dirname = "public/attachments/#{@seee}/"
end
end
#Controller
def new
@fish = Fish.new
@box = Attachment.new
@box.seemee = "public/attachments/fish/"
# @fish.seemee = "public/attachments/fish/"
#@fish.get_upload_dir(controller)
end

You might actually want to look at the attachment_fu or file_column plugins. They do what you want to do.

I understand that... what I meant is look at their source code and see how they handle this. file_column has /public/model_name as the default file location, and the model handles the actual receiving and writing of the file to the right location. Check it out.

Check it out.Okay so I did do as you said, it seems to just be File.join(model, attr) the controller has nothing to do with it at all. As for the controller. I have tried more things #controller def new @fish = Fish.new @box = Attachment.new @box.seemee = "public/attachments/fish/" end #model def dirname @seee = self.seemee dirname = "public/attachments/#{@seee}/" end But no matter what I do it acts like by the time it creates the model for operation it is to late to send the next line @box.seemee = "public/attachments/fish/" It''s like it HAS to reload the model or stall or insert the data before making the model, or during. The before_filter does not do the trick though...

Now I am trying the Mongrel tool again , but might anyone have any other clues ? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
