similar to: file_column - assigning with an actual file rather than a multipart

this is getting frustrating... i installed file_column without a hitch for the first time to just play around with. using the exact same steps as before, i try to use it with one of my actual applications, and i get "permission denied" errors. i figure there might be some conflict with my application so just for kicks i do the exact same thing i did the first time to test

I''m developing on Windows and deploying to FreeBSD+lighttpd using Switchtower and I''ve got things generally working. My problem now is that file_column data gets zapped every time I deploy, because Switchtower creates a whole new myapp/public directory with each rev. I looked through the file_column docs and found the :root_path option, which I use in my models as follows:

To make file_column work I have to copy my local variable back to an instance variables like this: <% for product in @products @product = product %> <div class="catalogentry"> <%= image_tag url_for_file_column(''product'', ''image_url'') %></p> This is needed because file_column specifically looks for the instance

Hmm, I''m using file_column and going by this tutorial, the files upload ok and I can see the fields updated in the database, but I am getting this error: "Trying to access file_column, but primary key got lost." Thanks in advance -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, Currently I''m using the file_column plugin to upload images and save multiple copies of each at 3 different resoltions: file_column :name, :magick => { :versions => { "thumb96" => "96x150>", "medium250" => "250x400>", "large480" => "480X640>" } } I am wondering if

Hi all, I patched file_column to add imagemagick transformations of uploaded content. I added an options hash, and it takes the :magick and :format keys. :magick is a string of imagemagick command line options for convert (Reference: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php). Format is an optional extension for the finished image. If Imagemagick recognizes the extension, then it will

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

Hi, has anyone come across any incompatibilities between file_column and login_engine? I''ve been having strange issues where a User model with file_column in it is failing to save the images properly. Everything uploads to the tmp dir fine, but then it never gets copied to the proper permanent location. No errors - everything happens fine except for that final part. I have

1) installation is not as smooth as some other plug-ins. If you follow the instructions on http://www.kanthak.net/opensource/file_column/ it makes a directory called trunk instead of file_column. You have to manually rename it to file_column. I guess this is a minor annoyance but it gives me the feeling that things aren''t quite like other plugins. 2) I get this error: undefined

I''m curious if anyone knows if development on the file_column plug in is continuing? I''ve seen some SVN commits from awhile back but no binary releases. Did Sebastian speak at Canada on Rails? Anyone catch that? What is the future of file_column?

I''ve added file_column and RMagick to my application and I''ve started implementing the first uses of it, and noticed something odd.

Hi, Sebastian Kanthak of the file_column-Plugin wrote once: "is the photo object inside a local variable or an instance variable (e.g. photo or @photo)? url_for_file_column only works with instance variables, like all other active record form helpers. Could this be the problem?" So I''m using file_column in a partial, e.g. <%= render (:partial => "product",

I am using the excellent file_column, but have run into an issue. I am wanting the user to be able to *not* upload an image if they so choose. Then I am trying to determine if that column is empty or not, and display a generic image if that column is empty. I have tried both of the following code blocks: <% if @newsentry.image -%> <%= link_to(image_tag((url_for_image_column
