similar to: Rails, Mongrel and Rmagick

I execute the following: ruby rmg.rb I get the following output: /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/RMagick.rb:1377:in `read'': unable to open image `'': No such file or directory:

Tracked down the source of my problem... It seems that Rmagick isn''t properly cropping/resizing GIF or PNG images when uploaded via file_column. I can upload JPG files just fine. Originally I had installed ImageMagick via Debian''s apt-get and built the rmagick gem using "gem install rmagick". This wasn''t working so I uninstalled ImageMagick and tried to

Hi, I''m using the basic magick features of file_column, and while files are uploading fine without the magick options, as soon as I do something like :magick => { :size => "400x600" } I get an ''invalid file'' error. Further investigation reveals that the file is in fact invalid because something somewhere is truncating the file path:

Any jQuery users out there? I would like to learn more about incorporating jQuery with Rails as the performance seems to be the best of any library I''ve seen and it is great in separating the JScript from the HTML. Any suggestions on where to get started? I''ve read this (http://b.lesseverything.com/2006/12/31/making-jquery-and- prototype-play-nice-in-rails) but was looking into

Hello all. I''m a seasoned system administrator and have no fear of building source packages on a variety of platforms, but RMagick has, until recently, evaded all of my attempts to building it on my PowerBook. Someone else just mentioned that they had trouble with RMagick on OS X (Intel, don''t really know if my advice will help) so I decided to post a HOWTO to the list. I

So ive recently finished up my first RoR application and made sure it all worked right on the windows machine i developed it on. then deployed it on GeekISP.com which runs Open/Free BSD. I had to jump through a few little hoops to get it working and set the permissions for file_column to create directories, but it still doesnt work right. When i go to add a new item to the database and try

Hi, One of my model generates short messages that has to be delivered to mobile phones as SMS''s. I am not sure how to proceed from here. 1. What are the components I would need? 2. Do I need a GSM modem? If yes how would it integrate with my app? 3. Does my hosting provider needs to have a GSM modem? 4. Does sending an SMS cost anything? If yes how much would a single SMS cost? Any

Hi, I need to take a single uploaded image file and save three resized versions of it, a thumbnail, normal and large version. I was planning on doing this in my model by having an array of geometry strings and looping through them, each time saving a new image object resized to the correct geometry. I know that file column does similar stuff, but I would prefer to have a separate database row

I have a csv file and in my controller: uploaded_file = params[:upload][:csv].read @rows << FasterCSV.parse(uploaded_file) I want to put in @rows only the first 10 lines but the read method reads all the file.

I submitted this earlier, but the web forums went down and I''ve screwed up the thread, so I''m starting over. I''m trying to built a document upload system. The system has a main Document model with different subclasses for different types of documents.

Where should I look for information on how to use Rails and Ruby to accept the upload of a file and then to save that file to the file system of my server? I''m reading the "Uploading a file" section of Agile Web Dev with Rails, but it''s geared toward saving the file in the database. Any advice? Thanks, Jeff -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all, I was wondering about the class used when rails receives file uploads. Sometimes it appears to be a File, and other times it is a StringIO. Also it has methods such as original_filename that don''t appear to belong to either of these classes. I ask because I''m trying to work out how to test my fil upload related models and controllers. Is there some standardised way of
