not sure whats going on here, but I''m using some pretty standard code to manage file uploads in to a db, but having trouble detecting if the file upload field has been filled or not. in my Asset Model, I have: def asset=(asset_field) self.name = base_part_of(asset_field.original_filename) self.content_type = asset_field.content_type.chomp self.data = asset_field.read end def

Hello together, I developed a file upload in my application like this (files uploaded belong to a project): project_controller.rb: ---------------------- def upload_attachment project = Project.find(@params[:id]) begin project.attachments.create(params[:attachment]) rescue flash[:attachment_error] = "Error at Upload" end redirect_to :action => "edit_project", :id

Hi, I want to get the size of an uploaded file that is saved in the database. Can you help me? In the edit view formular there is: <input id="attachment_title" name="attachment[title]" size="30" type="text" /> <input id="attachment_attachment" name="attachment[attachment]" size="30" type="file" />

Hi, I currently write a tool for my school. Therefore I have to save uploaded files. I bought Agile Web Dev. with Rails to learn webdev with Rails.

Okay, so this is driving me crazy. I''m trying to do a file upload using code from a book. What happens: I get wrong number of arguments (1 for 0) in the upload controller save action. No idea why. Schema: The schema for the picture model object is just a textfield named comments and a binary field called data. Upload controller: def get @picture =Picture.new end def save

Hi! Im developing a simple prototype of an application. It fills an oracle db with data about a file in the filesystem, and save the entire file in a blob along with some metadata. To get the file in the db i use a file_field form helper. All goes well with the radrails-integrated browser, but it doesnt work anymore in firefox. The problem is, firefox seems to cut the pathname from the file. Here

Guys & gals, I''m also learning RoR (using v2.3.4). I''ve got a basic scaffold working for image file creation, and - to a point - image file display. The send_data function is working in my controller - no problem. The model code is able to parse the uploaded file construct too. def show @image = Image.find(params[:id]) send_data(@image.binary_data, :type =>

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 am checking the file size of an uploaded file and storing it in a filesize column. It will work just fine when the user uploads any files other than images (jpg,png,gif). Word, Excel, Powerpoint, .zip and more all work fine. This is my model asset.rb that handles the file upload. def newfile=(newfile_field) self.filename = base_part_of(newfile_field.original_filename) self.filetype

I have a model; I do photo = Photo.new(parameters) parameters contains: {"picture"=>#<File:C:/DOCUME~1/BART~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/CGI3180.1>} so i expect that the def picture=(filename) method is called in this constructor.. this is not the case. Does anyone know why? params[:photo].each_pair do |id, parameters| photo = Photo.new(parameters) end class Photo

Hi, I''m trying to use send_data to stream a file that is stored on my disk (not as a blob in the database.) So, this is what I''ve tried: send_data File.new(filename).read But, the file doesn''t download. I think send_data expects something other than a String (which is returned by File.read.) Anyone know how to get this working? The reason this is being done is to

I''m a newbie having trouble using send_data to send a jpeg file to the browser for display in an html img tag. This is the relevant code from my controller (photos_controller.rb): def retrieve @photo = Photo.find(params[:id]) send_data File.read(@photo.abs_img_path), :type => "image/ jpeg", :disposition => "inline" end def download @photo =

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. I''m pretty sure this means that I need to specify the encoding somewhere, but I haven''t been able to figure out where or how to do so. Some particulars: I''m running gnuplot through a pipe to generate a plot in .png

I''m trying to use send_data to send a simple text file. Every reference I can find says I can supply a MIME type with the ":type" option and that will determine the kind of file I get on the machine that downloads the file I''m sending. Instead I ALWAYS get an XML file. here''s the code snippet: File.open(@temp_download_file_path, ''r'') do
