Hi, i have made a file uploading function on my application, the thing
is
i want to allow my users to download the file (can be pdf, doc, img,
etc)
so in my file upload controller:
def download
@photo = Photo.find(params[:id])
send_file("#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/"+@photo.filename,
:filename => @photo.filename,
:type => @photo.content_type,
:disposition => ''attachment'')
end
this works perfectly fine, BUT only if the file actually exists in
../public/..
i noticed that when i try to upload a file using the app,
it doesn''t automatically store it into the public folder.
if i manually copy paste the file into the public folder, the download
works fine.
this is my controller, (notice that the new & create methods
doesn''t say
anything about storing the uploaded files into the public folder)
class PhotoAdminController < ApplicationController
def index
list
render :action => ''list''
end
# GETs should be safe (see
http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/whenToUseGet.html)
verify :method => :post, :only => [ :destroy, :create, :update ],
:redirect_to => { :action => :list }
def list
@photo_pages, @photos = paginate :photos, :per_page => 10
end
def show
@photo = Photo.find(params[:id])
end
def new
@photo = Photo.new
end
def create
@photo = Photo.new(params[:photo])
if @photo.save
flash[:notice] = ''Photo was successfully created.''
redirect_to :action => ''list''
else
render :action => ''new''
end
end
def edit
@photo = Photo.find(params[:id])
end
def update
@photo = Photo.find(params[:id])
if @photo.update_attributes(params[:photo])
flash[:notice] = ''Photo was successfully updated.''
redirect_to :action => ''show'', :id => @photo
else
render :action => ''edit''
end
end
def destroy
Photo.find(params[:id]).destroy
redirect_to :action => ''list''
end
def download
@photo = Photo.find(params[:id])
send_file("#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/images/"+@photo.filename,
:filename => @photo.filename,
:type => @photo.content_type,
:disposition => ''attachment'')
end
end
can someone teach me how to code my app to store the uploaded file into
the public folder?
thank you very much in advance!

It works very well and will give you the option of storing your files in the database, file system or using Amazon S3. You could certainly write similar code yourself, but why re-invent the wheel? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
