Hi All, Please help me ,I need to look into this issue asap, I need to change the redmine functionality of uploading files to disk to upload them to database. I tried suggestion on http://dizzy.co.uk/ruby_on_rails/contents/store-file-uploads-in-database but no luck , My form is multipart but still getting the error. Please bare with me I am new to ruby and rails. Here is the like for my redmine question http://www.redmine.org/boards/2/topics/7737 I need to change Redmine functionality to upload files directly to database and not to local filesystem. * 1. What I think is that I should add a field to "Attachments" table.* I did this via this following migration class AddFileToAttachments < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up add_column :"attachments", :"file", :binary, :limit =>10.megabytes end end def self.down drop_column :"attachments", :"file" end 2. Now I should change the model code to copy the file content into the blob. I updated attachment.rb , just added the line self.file @temp_file.read as I need to read the content of file and put it into database. def file=(incoming_file) unless incoming_file.nil? @temp_file = incoming_file if @temp_file.size > 0 self.filename = sanitize_filename(@temp_file.original_filename) self.disk_filename = Attachment.disk_filename(filename) self.content_type = @temp_file.content_type.to_s.chomp self.filesize = @temp_file.size self.file = @temp_file.read end end end But After doing so I am getting the following error: Anybody please give some direction
