I tried using the script/console to do some testing, - I know ImageMagick is working, as I''m using the filecolumn plugin to resize images as they are loaded.

Hi I have this filecolumn: file_column :file, :magick => { :versions => { :large => ''756x567>'' } } Does anybody have a solution to make this also accept files that aren''t images?

I need a way to upload an image and display it without using any of the plugins that use rmagic. I have used the plugins (file_column, fleximage) which both use rmagic and gave me problems (never got fleximage to work) Thanks in advance - K --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails:

What I am really trying to do is use the file_column plugin for the file uplaod/storage (to a non-application directory), but serve up the images on my own (without the mage_tag url_for_file_column technique) In the java world, I would simply do something like this: <img src="myImageServlet?id=1"> and myImageServlet would simply return the appropriate mime headers and data

Hello, I''m a newbie to Ruby on Rails and like many others, I have been working through the depot application in the Agile Web Development book.

I have a file uploader application in ROR using the very nice FileColumn plugin. In looking at the source code I can see that there is a DEFAULT_OPTION hash with some root path options and such which can be merged from an options paramater. These static path changes are not a problem. My question is dynamic path options. My upload form, when you boil it down, has two fields. The first is

Hello, My application is a rails-postgresql application which uses paperclip ("ImageMagick-6.5.4-10-Q16-windows-dll.exe" installed on WinXP).

Hi, which is the best way to upload an image, keep that and also make a thumbnail? The images should not be stored in the database, but as normal image files in a specific directory.

Hi, I want to upload a product image to my rails app. I only want to store the file name in the database and the actual image file in public/image/. This seems complicated with file_field. Any pointers or links with explainations? Thanks, Peter
