I''m trying to use attachment fu to add a large number of images at
once using a script but i can''t even get it to add an image from the
console... the other documentation i''ve found no longer seems to work.
Something like this doesn''t work properly
c = Image.new
c.content_type = ''image/jpeg''
c.filename = ''test.jpg''
c.discussion_id = 7330
c.uploaded_data = File.open(''/Users/holden/Desktop/pictures/
LionsFW.jpg'')
c.save
It does save.. but the file doesn''t get populated.
All the previous documentatio circa 2007 says :temp_file but this is
no longer available to i tried switching it to :uploaded_data, but
that doesn''t seem to work either....
also it want''s the size and is a required field, but shouldn''t
this be
automatically deduced.. providing it doesn''t help either...
Any suggestions would be a great help,
Thanks,
holden
Something like this almost work...
Discussion.new

Here''s how I''m doing it:
file = ActionController::UploadedStringIO.new( data ) #this is
the real data
file.instance_variable_set( ''@original_filename'',
"#{rand(1000)}_#{filename}" )
file.content_type = i.content_type
i.uploaded_data=( file )
i.save!

I tried using ActionController::UploadedStringIO.new( data ) and it does create the files... but the images don''t work. Is data supposed to be the filepath? ie. photos/joe.jpg ? I also found an example of exactly what I want to do in the Practical Rails Plugins book, but which is outdated using "temp_data =" It looks simple and perfect, what am I missing? http://books.google.com/books?id=c1L4IzmUzicC&pg=PA49&lpg=PA49&dq=attachment+fu+console+creation&source=bl&ots=0LhR2tApt6&sig=Kufto1uWSuhThKpy-dzVCzybKOI&hl=en&ei=Ca4iSoHZBMyOsAa36NC3Bg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1 On May 31, 11:22 pm, Maurício Linhares <mauricio.linha...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Here''s how I''m doing it: > > file = ActionController::UploadedStringIO.new( data ) #this is > the real data > file.instance_variable_set( ''@original_filename'', > "#{rand(1000)}_#{filename}" ) > file.content_type = i.content_type > > i.uploaded_data=( file ) > i.save! > > - > Maurício Linhareshttp://alinhavado.wordpress.com/(pt-br) |http://blog.codevader.com/(en) > > On Sun, May 31, 2009 at 5:52 PM, holden <holden.tho...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > > Something like this almost work... > > > Discussion.new > > (:name=>"test2", :location_id=>"1036", :image_attributes=> > > [{ :uploaded_data=> File.new("/Users/holden/Desktop/pictures/ > > LionsFW.jpg") }], :website=>"testdsfdf", :geo=>"", :phone=>"test", :blurb=>"testdsfsdfsdf", :address=>"test", :hwID=>"test", :email=>"t...-YDxpq3io04c@public.gmane.org") > > > undefined method `[]'' for #<File:/Users/holden/Desktop/pictures/ > > LionsFW.jpg > > > On May 31, 6:36 pm, holden <holden.tho...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > >> I''m trying to use attachment fu to add a large number of images at > >> once using a script but i can''t even get it to add an image from the > >> console... the other documentation i''ve found no longer seems to work. > > >> Something like this doesn''t work properly > > >> c = Image.new > >> c.content_type = ''image/jpeg'' > >> c.filename = ''test.jpg'' > >> c.discussion_id = 7330 > >> c.uploaded_data = File.open(''/Users/holden/Desktop/pictures/ > >> LionsFW.jpg'') > >> c.save > > >> It does save.. but the file doesn''t get populated. > > >> All the previous documentatio circa 2007 says :temp_file but this is > >> no longer available to i tried switching it to :uploaded_data, but > >> that doesn''t seem to work either.... > > >> also it want''s the size and is a required field, but shouldn''t this be > >> automatically deduced.. providing it doesn''t help either... > > >> Any suggestions would be a great help, > > >> Thanks, > > >> holden
You can try with the example in the attachment_fu home (http:// github.com/technoweenie/attachment_fu/tree/master): i.uploaded_data = ActionController::TestUploadedFile.new(file_path, mimetype) Regards.

nevermind found this lurking in the documentation... i suppose i
should have read it better before looking else where... ;-(
#!/usr/bin/env ./script/runner
# required to use ActionController::TestUploadedFile
require ''action_controller''
require ''action_controller/test_process.rb''
path = "./public/images/x.jpg"
# mimetype is a string like "image/jpeg". One way to get the mimetype
for a given file on a UNIX system
# mimetype = `file -ib #{path}`.gsub(/\n/,"")
mimetype = "image/jpeg"
# This will "upload" the file at path and create the new model.
@attachable = AttachmentMetadataModel.new(:uploaded_data =>
ActionController::TestUploadedFile.new(path, mimetype))
@attachable.save
