Rails - Sep 2012 - Newbie question: How do I get CarrierWave to save my files in a has_many / belongs_to setup?

I posted this on StackOverflow, and didn''t get much love.  I''m
hoping
someone here can help me.  Thanks in advance!
 
I have a form that displays information about a single commercial real 
estate property. I am trying to create a feature on it that allows the user 
to upload files to Amazon S3 that will then be associated with that 
property. In a separate question, I asked how this relationship should 
work. I have a series of questions about this whole thing, but it seems 
that Stack Overflow likes to keep each question limited to a specific 
topic. 

I''ve created a relationship so that Properties has_many Uploadedfiles
and
Uploadedfiles belongs_to Properties. I added a column to the Uploadedfile 
table called "uploaded_file" and mounted CarrierWave to that column

I''ve read through the Readme and Wiki for Carrierwave and 
Carrierwave_direct. They both talk about adding a single Avatar to a new 
User, when that new User is created. In my case, the property is already 
created, and I want to be able to upload multiple files (one at a time, for 
now) to that Property. (later, I will add a feature that lists out links to 
each of the uploaded files so that the user can download and open them). 

Here is what the readme says. What do I need to do in my controllers and 
views to make this work for me?

Rails

If you are using Rails and you''ve mounted your uploader like this:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base 
  mount_uploader :avatar, AvatarUploader end 

things just got a whole lot easier. You can generate a direct upload form 
like this:

class AvatarController < ApplicationController 
  def new 
    @uploader = User.new.avatar 
    @uploader.success_action_redirect = new_user_url 
  end end 
 <%= direct_upload_form_for @uploader do |f| %> 
  <%= f.file_field :avatar %> 
  <%= f.submit %> <% end %>

Hi Jon,

I have a similar situation. Do you have a solution yet? I already have a 
user created and want to only add a profile image. It seems that the 
success_action_redirect performs a get but I would like to actually perform 
a post to create a record for that image.
