I have this class: class Logo < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :something has_attachment :content_type => :image, :storage => :db_file, :max_size => 500.kilobytes :thumbnails => {:web => ''150x100'', :pdf => ''150x100''}, :processor =>

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

Hi, Im developing an image upload using pothoven-attachment_fu (3.2.8) and aws-s3 (0.6.3). I want to store my files in Amazon S3. I follow all the instructions using attachment_fu and s3 my model has_attachment :content_type => :image, :storage => :s3, :max_size => 1.megabyte, :thumbnails => { :thumb =>

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 image_tag to load an image that I''ve saved to the database (using attachment_fu if you''re curious but that''s probably not relevant here): VIEW <%= image_tag ''/photo/get_image/5'' %> CONTROLLER def get_image @photo=Photo.find(params[:id]) send_data(DbFile.find(@photo.db_file_id).data, :type =>

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

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

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

Can one use mongrel_upload_progress in combination with attachment_fu (db_file)? I wan''t to store uploaded files directly in a mysql-database - not in the filesystem. Is there a way to use mongrel_upload_progress to do this, or do I have to store files in the filesystem and copy them to the database? Thanx

I followed the instructions on Mike Clark''s weblog and everything works perfectly except the thumbnail column in my DB is alwas NULL. I''m using S3 as my storage system. Anyone else having this issue with thumbnails? has_attachment :content_type => :image, :storage => :s3, :max_size => 500.kilobytes, :resize_to =>

I''m going to be generating thumbnails from user uploaded images. I''m looking around at the libraries available to do this sort of thing and there are three that look promising. ImageScience -- http://seattlerb.rubyforge.org/ImageScience.html Mini-Magick -- http://rubyforge.org/projects/mini-magick/ RMagick -- http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/ It looks like a lot of people are

How can I use attachment_fu to store files in a MySQL database (db_file) which I uploaded via ftp in a special directory? I need to upload files - large images 25-40 MB -, so my intention ist to upload them via ftp and then use attachment_fu to strore them in a MySQL database. I had problems in uploading such files via a form - timeouts. I need them in a database because we have a very

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

Being somewhat new to both Ruby and Rails, I am unsure about how to initiate some kind of error handling. Currently I have a blog-like application where each post is a photograph. I am working on the "show" method for the PhotoController and need to tell the application what to do when a photo cannot be found with the specified id: class PhotoController < ApplicationController

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
