similar to: Yet another send_data :image question...

I MAY be able to derive something out of the present example given here : http://blog.codeinmotion.com/index.php/2006/12/22/pdf-generation-in-ruby-on-rails/ but this deals with filling out forms. Is there a simpler example that just allows you to talk to itext , send it some plain text and get back a pdf and then send that pdf to the user as downloadable / renderable data? -- Posted via

hi, i did a search and couldn''t find wat''s the problem with my code... it seems everything is the same and the result is what i expected but i am not sure where went wrong.... using send_data function to send the csv file to the client, the file sending is successfully but when i opened the csv file, something is wrong... every statement got a "......" inverted

I''m a newbie having trouble using send_data to send a jpeg file to the browser for display in an html img tag.

I''m trying to display a generated .png plot via send_data(), but it results in a server error "invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII" error.

Some particulars: I''m running gnuplot through a pipe to generate a plot in .png

Hi, I am using send_data to allow users to download files from the database but ran into a small problem, it seems that files upload fine but when they download only 64kb of the file is sent.

Restricting size of an uploaded file, is how is that possible? If I do not want a user to upload a file larger than X bytes, can it easily be done? If I also would like restrict the types of files that can be uploaded, how may I do so? Thank you, Sharkie

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

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,
