I found the post about needing to install acts_as_attachement_1_1_6 if you are not on edge rails. But I am having trouble getting db_system storage to work. As far as I can tell in from the database, things are working, but I don''t see how my model table hooks up with the db_files table so I am having trouble altering the image_tag from the tutorial

I am working on a small model mixin called attachment_kung to make attachment_fu polymorphic, so you no longer need a different table and Model class for every associated attachment (Productimage, Ad_doc, etc). All you really need is one model and table to handel all your attachments - in some cases, anyway. I have the code working, but have run into one small hitch that I can''t seem to

Hello, Recently attachment_fu stopped resizing images for me. I''m puzzled because before today it was resizing them and I don''t know what''s changed. Here''s my code: class Product < ActiveRecord::Base has_attachment :content_type => :image, :storage => :file_system, :max_size => 18.megabytes,

howdy! I had the problem that attachment_fu didn''t make a thumbnail, but everything else worked. I read this post http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/104213 and added a parent_id column. now I get the following error when I trie to add a photo: undefined method `find_or_initialize_by_thumbnail_and_parent_id'' for Photo:Class my code is: class Photo < ActiveRecord::Base

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

the full-size pics upload OK, but no thumbs or resizing. There are no errors or exceptions that I can see, just not getting any thumbnails. The DB column ''thumbnail'' is always NULL rmagick-1.15.6 is freshly installed. I have the :thumbnails stuff setup per http://weblog.techno-weenie.net/articles/acts_as_attachment/thumbnailing using a model like this: class EventPic

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

Hi I have previously used railscron for server-side manipulation of the database but had a heap of trouble working with it. BackgrounDRB was suggested to me by a friend. I upload some files via acts_as_attachment and these go lie in a dir structure that i desire. What I want from the background process is to periodically (not user initiated) do some file-structure manipulation i.e. I want to

I''ve tried migrating acts_as_attachment to attachment_fu (just to see if I could replace RMagick with ImageScience+FreeImage), but the quality of the thumbnails is just horrendous, blurred beyond recognition (downscaling a 1280x1024 to a few considerably smaller thumbnails). Changing attachment_fu to use RMagick again and the thumbnails were crispy sharp again. I was wondering

Hello friends, I have configured attachment_f. It''s working fine on Local(development) system but giving problem on production. Basically on production the attachment_fu is not able to generate thumbnail image it saving the original size image. Below is the configuration. has_attachment :content_type => :image, :storage => :file_system, :max_size

I''ve got a problem in that users are deleting a paranoid model through the application, including dependents. Some of these dependents are paranoid too, but not the attachments. (I''m using DB file storage.) I need to be able to un-delete these things and I''m now wondering if acts_as_paranoid will work with models that use attachment_fu? If so, in what model to I add the

Hi, I''m having trouble with attachment_fu on windows not generating any thumbnails on the fly. I started out trying to incorporate this into my app without success then tried implementing Mike Clarke''s tutorial (http://www.clarkware.com/cgi/blosxom/2007/02/24) and got the same problem. I have resolved some gotchas I found in the "attachment_fu on Windows" thread

I just installed attachment_fu and for some reason, it seems to be looking in the wrong location for my images. I have a Product model that belongs to a photo model. the photo model has the attachment_fu installed and configured like so: class Photo < ActiveRecord::Base has_attachment :content_type => :image, #Allow standard image formats :path_prefix

Hi all.... Admittedly I''m new to Rails and trying to find my way but I''m having an issue with uploading documents with attachment_fu. I have a form where I''m uploading multiple attachments (using AJAX to add file_filed_tags). That seems to work pretty well. The problem is I can''t seem to get the content_type to work as I would expect. For example, if I use

Hey guys, I''m getting a weird error when trying to test something like the following. It''s a model that is using acts_as_attachment but the weird thing is the equivalent Test::Unit case passes. Does anyone have any ideas? Best, Dave # it was a Test::Unit case first def test_should_be_invalid_without_file UserFile.any_instance.expects(:with_image).never

http://weblog.techno-weenie.net/articles/acts_as_attachment is an excellent introduction, but I am a newbie and need the next step outlined for me: How would I implement a controller/view (form) for the model that the attachments model belongs to? (The content items that have pictures attached) Or should I just make the content item model acts_as_attachment instead ? Does anyone know of a

First off, I''m not trying to spec attachment_fu, I know it''s been tested. But, I added some code to that model that I do need to test. Basically, I need to somehow fulfill the "uploaded_data" property so I can actually run my tests(otherwise they fail because of validations). The "uploaded_data" field is what would grab the multipart data from form. Here

This is probably pretty easy, but I''m still a newb as far as ruby and rails goes. I am using the acts_as_attachment and would like to know how I go about setting the path that the file is saved to so that it is saved in a folder named after the models parent model id Thanks in advance Tony --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are

Hi, I''m using acts_as_attachment to create thumbnails in a filesystem (no problem there), but I''m having a rough time figuring out how modify the image to crop it, and then put it back into the filesystem. I think that I can pull the image OK and modify the Image OK with RMagick. So really I just need a pointer on putting it back into the filesystem as a modified thumbnail,

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
