Hi all, I am using aaa for uploads (Upload model) of assets to a dir below public. I also need to save files, into the Upload model, which come as attachments by email. Is there a way I can ask aaa to save the attachment as if it was uploaded?

Thank you for your reply Sam, I don''t have my action mailer receive part working yet and I will try this when its done. However the Upload model has acts_as_attachment :storage => :file_system, :file_system_path => ''uploads'' validates_as_attachment I was wondering if acts_as_attachment can take an attachment passed to the model vs. the uploaded file which it normally gets from cgi param. I thought the validates_as_attachment call back might not work if the attachment was passed to the model as you suggest. I''ll have to look the aaa code over to see if this doesn''t work. -bakki On 8/23/07, Sam Morrison <sam-o6v14nQ79ppXqviUI+FSNg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > On 8/23/07, Bakki Kudva <bakki.kudva-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > > > Hi all, > > > > I am using aaa for uploads (Upload model) of assets to a dir below > > public.

Hello, I am not sure if I understand correctly, but you can pass a regular file (on disk) to the model conviently using TestUploadedFile (see http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/TestUploadedFile.html#M000278) like this: Photo.create( :uploaded_data => ActionController::TestUploadedFile.new(file, ''image/jpeg'') ) See http://pastie.caboo.se/90597 for more complete code I use for importing whole directory of photos into application. (You can even use this in script/console or script/runner, thus automating the importing process.)

Hi Karel,
This actually should work for me. I was looking at the code in
acts_as_attachment and it has the following code which handles
uploaded files.
# This method handles the uploaded file object. If you set the
field name to uploaded_data, you don''t need
# any special code in your controller.
#
# <% form_for :attachment, :html => { :multipart => true } do
|f| -%>
# <p><%= f.file_field :uploaded_data %></p>
# <p><%= submit_tag :Save %>
# <% end -%>
#
# @attachment = Attachment.create! params[:attachment]
def uploaded_data=(file_data)
return nil if file_data.nil? || file_data.size == 0
self.content_type = file_data.content_type.strip
self.filename = file_data.original_filename.strip
self.attachment_data = file_data.read
end
So this should fire when, as you suggest
Photo.create( :uploaded_data =>
ActionController::TestUploadedFile.new(file, ''image/jpeg'') )
:uploaded_data gets assigned to and the rest of aaa validations etc should work.
Thank you for your help.

Hello, yes, that''s it precisely. I guess acts_as_attachment has `TestUploadedFile` somehow encapsulated, but I couldn''t get it to work, don''t recall precisely why. I recently used `TestUploadedFile` to import loads of legacy data into ported application with *great* results.
