Rails Guides says: ...the UserObserver ... would be saved as app/models/user_observer.rb and registered in config/environment.rb this way: config.active_record.observers = :user_observer But the observer registration above doesn''t work because there is no ''config''. For now, I''ve put it in the config/environments/[APP_ENV].rb but that seems really sloppy and

Help please. I''m trying to observe a User class, but I can''t get this to work, the after_create method never gets called... (the breakpoint never gets called) app/models/user_observer.rb: class UserObserver < ActiveRecord::Observer def after_create(user) breakpoint setting =

In a nutshell, I''m using restful_authentication that emails the user when they sign up for an account The development.log file shows the body of the e-mail message being prepped to send out, but doesn''t show confirmation that it made it. When I use gmail''s SMTP server, a Rails exception is thrown because gmail expects an encrypted connection. A different type of Rails

I have restful_authentication in use on an app and it has been working fine, but I recently was changing the account creation flow and needed to enable the UserObserver. I did so by including it in the environment.rb (config.active_record.observers = :user_observer) and Rails wouldn''t start. I got the following error; source/communitysites/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/

Hi all, I need a help. I have got a user registration form, where the user signs up and then an activation link is sent to the user email id for activating his/her account. Now I need to send an another email to the user, only after he logs in for the first time in my site, then the second email should be sent. Can anybody give me some suggestion on how to do it ?? NB: When the user clicks on

Hello, I have the following in an observer: UserMailer.delay.msg_notification(record) In user_mailer.rb class UserMailer < ActionMailer::Base ... def msg_notification(record) mail( :to => "#{record.user.email}", :subject => "Notification" ) end .. end But this errors with: NoMethodError (undefined method `delay'' for

Hi there, I wan tto be able to allow users to invite friends... The action below is exactly the same as the code used to send a user their username. Only difference is, I need to change the ''''user = User.find_by_email(email)'''' part as obviously, I dont want to only email people who are already on the site. def invite @title = "Invitation"

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

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

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 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 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

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.

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

Hi all. I''ve done a little google search, but doesn''t find anything (with "attachment_fu default path") that could help me in changing attachment_fu''s default path. My model: [audio.rb] has_attachment :max_size => 20.megabytes has_attachment :content_type => "audio/mpeg" has_attachment :storage => :file_system

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

Hi - Around the corner I have a project to migrate thousands of images per user accounts. The existing structure is each user has a folder named after their account - in it is all of their pics. On the new setup I am using attachment_fu, which I noticed while using physical storage on the server stores the images into folders/subfolders based upon the object (if i''m not mistaken).

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
