similar to: Update a attachment with attachment_fu

It seems that attachment_fu is a pretty popular plugin (it''s great), but I''ve been having a terrible time trying to figure out an issue when using "update_attributes". I''m storing files on the file system rather than in a database. It seems that when "update_attributes" is called with a new file, upload_data= tries to copy a file that

Merbists, I saw a note in the attachment_fu source code regarding supporting Merb[1] as well as a post on the Caboose forum[2]. Has anyone gotten Merb working with Rick Olson''s attachment_fu to handle uploads for a Rails app? I''ve hacked together something, but it''s not pretty. Besides fixing the TODO mentioned in the attachment_fu source code to support Merb

I''ve spent at least 2 hours on this one problem. On my local machine in my controller I have this: def new @page_title = "New User" @user = User.new @photo = Photo.new end All is good. Now, on the remote server I get an error when accessing the ''new'' view. If I remove @photo = Photo.new from the controller then the error goes away. This same error

Hi, IN one of my unit tests I get an ActiveRecord::StaleObjectError: Attempted to update a stale object object.save! in object I have apart from other stuff an after_save method, which calls object.assosication.update_attributes(...) If I remove that line from my code my tests succeeds. Unfortunetly, I do not understand why an update_attributes call can generate an StaleObjectError. Maybe

Hi, I''m using attachment_fu to store files on amazon s3. A background job is currently performing the upload and I''m having a strange issue where the very first file uploaded/created (attachment_fu uploads when creating the object) does not get uploaded. The db information is all all good. The model and attachment model associated with it are saved to the db, but the file is

RMagick (and ImageMagick) have been criticized for memory leaks, though the problem is avoidable by timely garbage collection -- see this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk/browse_thread/thread/edee971625603f82/e402fb95de40d54b Attachment_fu does not call GC.start in any fashion that I can see, so my questions are these: does it need to, and if so, where would be the optimal

I am using attachment_fu to create thumbnails, and it is working great. However, I am have a view with all my users thumbnails displayed and am trying to make it so when you click on a thumbnail of their avatar, it shows that users profile. In order to accomplish this I have saved a user_id identifier for each avatar, but the problem is that attachment_fu only saves this user_id for the main

Hi there, I''d like to use RMagick to watermark an image in the tmp directory before Attachment_fu saves it to Amazon S3. I took a look at the callbacks available in attachment_fu. There''s an ''after_attachment_saved'' method but this would be too late, and a ''before_thumbnail_saved'' but this is no good because it''s for thumbnails. I

Hi, I use attachment_fu in one of my apps and recently I''ve realized that udpates are taking too much time. After some debugging I''ve found that attachment_fu is calling after_attachment_saved callback no mather if attachemnt has changed or not. For example this code: after_attachment_saved do |photo| logger.info "after_attachment_saved" end # in console - always

Hey everyone, I''ve been using attachment_fu to upload large media files to S3 with great success in my rails application. However, it has recently stopped uploading. My app appears to be uploading to somewhere, as my browser is displaying a ''sending request to..." status message for about the right length of time. The records are also created in my application database.

I''ve been slugging through Google posts on why attachment_fu doesn''t want to upload the entire image file to S3 on a Windows XP machine and fine no conclusions as to what I should do? Here is a link with many suggestions. I''ve tried all of them and none work for me. http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/99870 I try .png, .jpeg and .gif and they all simply put a ghost file up

I just installed attachment_fu and for some reason, it seems to be looking in the wrong location for my images.

Hi - I am trying to dynamically create my partition folders via attachment_fu. I have read about a hack that allows you to do this on the attachment model: :partition => lambda {|a| a.article_id} Which passes the model''s object into the lambda and uses the ''article_id'' attribute as its directory name. However, this isn''t work for me. I think the lambda
