similar to: staying in control over the case in file_column plugin

I wasn''t sure where to email this request, so I am hoping the author of file_column actually sees this. I was wondering if there were any plans to allow some configurability in the file_column plugin. By configurability I mean allowing the developer to define which table column is used as the unique identifier when creating image folders. Right now it seems like it uses the ID of the

Hi, sounds somehow stupid, but I can''t get rid of my files that I uploaded into my application via the file_column plugin. Any suggestions? Cheers Thomas -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

For some applications, storing recorded audio (prompts and caller recordings) as a BLOB in MySQL has advantages. So, once I have the audio in the database, how can I play it? Creating temporary files seems so tacky. Is there another way to playback or background audio either by specifying a URL or from a memory buffer (either C or PHP)? -- Thanks in advance,

Hi When I submit the form with field_column, the actual image is not uploaded, only temp files are crreated and I dont see actual file created and the image file name is not in the database and get "fieldWithErrors". Then if submit again, the actual file in created and an database record is generated. Here is the log file. I print @params and @wallpaper. I find the following: 1st

Has anyone found a good wayt o do a gate intercom using Asterisk? I am looking at a Xorcom PBX with programmable contact, so I have no issue with opening the gate, but the interface at the gate is a bit tricky. I thought about a weather proof housing containing a phone but it seems a bit tacky. I also looked at a handsfree erather proof phone, but at $600 it is a bit steep. Any solutions that

Just and FYI. In RPM form, works on 4.x and I will try on 5.x too. Speech is tacky, but if I can get something but the Gnome Festival synthesizer, maybe it will improve? http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html?promoid=BONRM -- Bill

I use file_column and it works fine. I tried to change the store_dir to a the path I want my files to be stored and not the default. I stored some images fine. But when I try to reach my images it seems like file_column uses the model_name/attribute_name on the image and not the store_dir I used. How can I change this ? Thanks in advance -- Alexander Antonakakis

I store my file_column database outside of my RAILS_ROOT. It seems to work in real life, but not in tests. In the tests, I can''t set both the root_path and the store_dir. In tests, setting the store_dir option will override the root_path option. The only way for root_path to work is to remove store_dir. I think the problem is in file_column.rb on line 22: options[:store_dir]

I''m using file_column to store mulitple versions of an image in a custom directory "images/artwork/" with the :store_dir option. This is working fine for uploading and storing the images, but whenever I try and access the images with the url_for_file_column helper it keeps generating the default path. I thought it would replace this by default, but it doesn''t seem to.

File_column plugin is great. I need to change the default :store_dir from the dynamic "model_name/attribute_name" to an equally dynamic "client_id/app_id/model_name/attribute_name". In my model I have: class Component < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :component_type belongs_to :component_group breakpoint file_column :content, :magick => { :versions

I also posted this on Rails Engines forum. Sorry for the double post. I am trying to configure file_column plugin so that it stores the images in a directory completely outside of RAILS_ROOT. I have no problems in storing the files by setting :root_path option. But I can''t get to display these images using ''url_for_file_column''. What I get instead of the image is

I have several models that will be using file_column by way of the "Picture" class (HABTM). Right now, all pictures are stored in: public/picture/image/1/filename1.jpg public/picture/image/2/filename2.jpg Is there a way I can dynamically define the "store_dir" based on the model? For example, if I have "user", "product" and "place" models all

Hi all, I am trying to make calls to R from an MFC application running on XP and am having problems blocking the application while the call executes. I have tried the following approaches to using R from the application (note that I set a wait cursor while R is executing). 1) call rcmd in BATCH mode using system(). This works well, except that I get the cmd window popping up... which makes the

Hi! I''ve got 2 models - let''s call them User and Image. User has_many images. (Thanks to Mark Reginal James :) ) I have a single form where i can create a user and add to him any number of images, which are uploaded using file_column plugin. Now 3 questions: 1. How to change the default path where file_column plugin saves images, so it will save them in a directory, which

I was looking at Kyle Mawell''s extremely nifty-looking StateModels plugin http://www.kylemaxwell.com/articles/2006/02/06/fun-with-single-table-inheritance and before I go down the road with it, I was wondering if anyone has used it with file_column. The way file_column deals with an uploaded file -- by storing it to the filesystem in a path that employs the model name and id --

ok, here''s the deal. I''m having an issue using the file_column plugin on dreamhost. Everything works great on my local dev machine using webrick. On dreamhost i have no errors, but initially the uploaded images where stored in /public/user/...etc... When the image should have displayed I just got the filename instead. I though it might be a routing issue, so I tweaked the

Is there a way to get the MIME extension of a file_column field? Here''s what I want to do (look for comment in before_save method): class ProductFile < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :product file_column :file_name def before_save self.file_type = # something that returns the MIME type (e.g. image/jpeg) end end TIA

I am having some strange issues with file column today. This goes back to something that I was working on before and successfully have it working on my development box however it is not working on my staging machine. I have a dynamic_dir action set up for file_column that is called via the :store_dir => :dynamic_dir the action is this: def dynamic_dir

Hi everyone, I have a photo site that I''m making and I''m using file_column to handle the auto-generation of several "version" of each photo: essentially thumbs and fuller-sized version. The full sized versions retain the original''s proportions, whereas the thumbs are all 4:3. This means most of the thumbs are cropping the original. This all works great, but I
