Hi, Say I have a model Event that has a file_column called ''pdf''. I want to send out emails that contain the URL for the pdf file that''s associated with the Event. I also want to test the emails, so I''d need to be able to get at the URL for the pdf inside my unit tests. I don''t see how I can use url_for_file_column in this situation. Doing <%=

Hi All, i have i niggly little showstopper -> I need to access file_column_helper from within the controller, as I need to include an image in my "pdf-write" code... Any sane way to do this? "Require ''rails_file_column''" still gives me an error: "undefined method `url_for_file_column''..." (I am using *svn* version with Rails 1.0)

first off, thanks (a lot!) sebastian for creating this module... I''ve been spending a lot of time in getting file uploads to work. inside a project I''m working on, I''ve got two different models using it... with one of them it''s working just fine. with another, everything works, with the exception of the url_for_file_column helper, which shows

1) installation is not as smooth as some other plug-ins. If you follow the instructions on http://www.kanthak.net/opensource/file_column/ it makes a directory called trunk instead of file_column. You have to manually rename it to file_column. I guess this is a minor annoyance but it gives me the feeling that things aren''t quite like other plugins. 2) I get this error: undefined

Hello, i hope somebody can help me: How can i get the path/url for a file stored with file_column within any contoller? Is it somehow possible to use the url_for_file_column method from the file_column_helper.rb ? Greetings and thanx for any advise, Marc -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi Guys, I have been struggling with this one for a while... file_column 0.3.1 My file gets uploaded and thumbnailed correctly, however <%= url_for_file_column("item", "image") %> returns nil... I have tracked the problem to line 60 in file_column_helper.rb but I cant figure out why my model would return nil in this case... -- Posted via

Hi Has anyone used R to conduct confirmatory factor analysis? This email pertains to use of SEM. For context consider an example: the basic idea is that there are a bunch of observables variables (say study habbits, amount of time reading in the bus, doing homework, helping other do homework, doing follow-up on errors etc.) and one believes that all these variables maybe measured by two or

To make file_column work I have to copy my local variable back to an instance variables like this: <% for product in @products @product = product %> <div class="catalogentry"> <%= image_tag url_for_file_column(''product'', ''image_url'') %></p> This is needed because file_column specifically looks for the instance

Hi, I have recently moved my RoR app on the Heroku platform, and almost everything works fine apart from the videos. It works fine when my app runs in local but not on heroku. This is the error log I''m getting, if anyone knows where it can be coming from: Processing VideosController#new (for IP at 2010-03-20 04:32:09) [GET] Session ID: 6abecf60c3369d7c7029e366bb801e08 Parameters:

Hi, I downloaded FileColumn plugin and love the concept. But when I tried the example listed on the plugin web site, I got the following error: NoMethodError in Entry#new undefined method `file_column'' for Entry:Class My environement is Red Hat linux 9.0 with mysql 4.1.

I am using the very helpful file_column extension in my app. The uploading portion works great - no problems. Where I am having an issue is displaying the images in my view. My code looks like this: <% for @record in @main_box_releases -%> <%= image_tag(url_for_file_column("record", "record_cover")) %> <% end -% @record is an instance of a class called

Hmm, I''m using file_column and going by this tutorial, the files upload ok and I can see the fields updated in the database, but I am getting this error: "Trying to access file_column, but primary key got lost." Thanks in advance -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi All, I am using the file_column plugin to upload images. The model that I am using is simply called images (id, name, caption - name being the "file" column) and it belongs_to a parent model called books which has_many images. I was able to figure out how to enter the images into the correct model when updating of form of the parent model (books). Now I need to figure out

Calling url_for_file_colum results in a TypeError: can''t convert nil to string. The error is in line 148 of filecolumn.rb: def relative_path(subdir=nil) File.join(relative_path_prefix,subdir, @filename) end If I substitute '''' for subdir in the File.join command, then it seems to work fine. Since this is a plugin, I''m wondering why I need

Hi, Sebastian Kanthak of the file_column-Plugin wrote once: "is the photo object inside a local variable or an instance variable (e.g. photo or @photo)? url_for_file_column only works with instance variables, like all other active record form helpers. Could this be the problem?" So I''m using file_column in a partial, e.g. <%= render (:partial => "product",

Hi, url_for_file_column @variable, ''name'', takes an instance variable. My question is, what if I don''t want to have to retrieve the instance variable every single time but I have the image id, along with its name with me. Could I contruct that object in a view and pass it to url_for_file_column: <% @picture = Picture.new %> @picture.id = ...

Hi, I correctly see: image_tag url_for_file_column("element", "picture_url", "medium") now I need to make it a link so I''ve used: <%= link_to(image_tag url_for_file_column("element", "picture_url", "medium"), {:controller => "products", :action => "sec_level", :level_id => @element.id}) unless

this seems so stupid, I keep thinking I''ve dealt with this before but I have this code <h1>Portraits</h1> <% if @image.portrait == 1 %> <%= image_tag(url_for_file_column ''image'', ''file'', ''thumb'') %> <% else %> <h1>Landscapes</h1> <%= image_tag(url_for_file_column

I added this test towards the end of the included file_column_helper_test.rb that shipped with the file_column plugin: def test_url_for_file_column_different_root_path Entry.file_column :image, :root_path => File.join(RAILS_ROOT, "public/files") e = Entry.new(:image => upload(f("skanthak.png"))) assert_match %r{/public/files/entry/image},

Hi all, I''m trying to use file_column to upload a picture but I''m getting the following error: "cannot convert nil into String" caused by the last line in FileColumnHelper::url_for_file_column(object_name, method) url << object.send("#{method}_relative_path") I don''t have any images uploaded for existing entries so does this not
