Is there a simple way of forcing file_column to download file from given (ex. in form) url instead of uploading it manualy? I know: http://blog.caboo.se/articles/2006/01/09/file_column-magick-and-versions require ''open-uri'' Attachment.find_first.filename = open(url) if not working as expected... what is interesting is that: >> @a =

Is there a way to find out the attributes that have been passed to file_column in models? I''ve looked through the source and it seems that the file_column methods are generated at runtime but there''s actually no class or instance variable that hold the file attribute. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi, I am using file_column for some image uploading. I want to have all the images stored under one root which I have managed by setting the :store_dir option as below. file_column :filename, :store_dir => File.join(RAILS_ROOT, ''public'', ''images'', ''products'') So, my images get uploaded to: /public/images/products/<primary_key>

I''m using Windows and Postgres 8. I installed RMagic gem thingy and FileColumn plugin ok. I followed instructions exactly as directed on FileColumn web site which is very straight forward: ---model class My_model < ActiveRecord::Base file_column :column_for_file_name end -----view -upload form--set to mulitpart <%= file_column_field "my_model",

i''ve changed store_dir to :store_dir => "public/uploads/users/pictures/" that works great for uploading, but url_for_file_column is still outputting: /user_picture/image/id/name.jpg how do i make url_for_file_column output the correct url? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have a file uploader application in ROR using the very nice FileColumn plugin. In looking at the source code I can see that there is a DEFAULT_OPTION hash with some root path options and such which can be merged from an options paramater. These static path changes are not a problem. My question is dynamic path options. My upload form, when you boil it down, has two fields. The first is

Hi I have this filecolumn: file_column :file, :magick => { :versions => { :large => ''756x567>'' } } Does anybody have a solution to make this also accept files that aren''t images? Now this makes filecolumn return an error of "File invalid image" if the file isn''t an image. Would be nice if it, when the file is invalid image, just

Calling url_for_file_colum results in a TypeError: can''t convert nil to string. The error is in line 148 of filecolumn.rb: def relative_path(subdir=nil) File.join(relative_path_prefix,subdir, @filename) end If I substitute '''' for subdir in the File.join command, then it seems to work fine. Since this is a plugin, I''m wondering why I need

I installed FileColumn successfully but now find the need to get a new image size. I was wondering if there was a fast script, or method, that would run through all my products and use the existing mail file already submited and resize it according to the new specifications. Thanks! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I have been using RMagick and File Column in my app together without a problem, but when I tried to add in some new functionality in my model where I use file_column, I got the error in the subject line. The offending line in my code is: image = Magick::ImageList.new(path_to_image) Has anybody ever seen this problem when using the two libraries together? I have tried adding in a require

I want to create a route for any image. This is in order to create an email report explaining what the missing image is. I could create a route for each directory that currently has images in it but wanted something more general like: map.connect "/**/*.gif", :controller => ''image_handler'', :action => ''handle_image'' Which doesn''t

i have a model with this: file_column :image validates_file_format_of :image, :in => ["gif", "png", "jpg"] If inthe form the user not insert the image i receive an error. If i remove: validates_file_format_of :image, :in => ["gif", "png", "jpg"] it works. Is possible do the validation only when user insert the image in form? i

Does anyone know if it''s possible to set constraints to the size & type of file that file_column will accept? I''d like to limit to image files of less than 2MB. If this isn''t possible with file_column, is there a graceful way of getting the controller to handle it? thanks dorian -- -- I do things for love or money

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

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?

is there a way to keep the file_column field in the form persistent across diffferent view templates ? In my controller (same controller for both views) i do @post = Post.new in the view i do form_step1.rhtml --------------------- <%= file_column_field "post", "image" %> <% if @post["image"] %> <%= image_tag url_for_file_column("post",

I''m writing a ''Mailman'' model that catches emails sent to my application (kind of like backpack, I think). The trouble is that I''d like to save image attachments in the same was that file_column saves them--in fact, I''d really like to use a simple assignment like photo.image = attachment to save the image in its proper place. However,

Hi all, I''m using Capistrano and SVN to version control and deploy, but I''m not sure what to do about my images directory. I use file_column and RMagick to save images to the disk under a model called "Image", and they''re saved in public/image/... etc. Each time I deploy a new version, my image folder doesn''t exist anymore. I don''t want
