similar to: More flexible file column?

does anyone know much about resizing different versions of images with file_column? i tried it and everything works fine, but my question is can you do more than just make sizes with a version of image? i''m working on a photo album and i would like to resize the image to a medium size, but create a thumbnail as well and crop anything left to make the thumbnail a perfect square. --

I see that the SVN version of the excellent file_column plug-in can create thumbnails using the url_for_image_column helper. This uses Rmagick to create the thumbnail... Quick question... Let''s say the file is a TIFF image - can the helper create a JPG version of the thumbnail for display in the browser? Curious if the plug-in can handle that transform with some creative use of the

Has anyone any experiance with the FileColumn plugin. I''m trying to create thumbnails, and also alow non picture uploads. Here''s some working code, but if I try and upload a zip, it says ''File invalid image''.

I''m using the file_column plugin to handle image uploads and thumbnail generation.

I''m working on a photo gallery and I''m using File_column to handle the uploads of the files and create my thumbnails, but does anyone here have any idea how to have a watermark (opaque text maybe) placed over one of the versions? Any ideas on how to go about this would be great. Even if it''s just straight RMagick code, that would be fine too. Thanks in advance for the

Quick Question. I understand how to change the default path to something other than public but what if I wanted to add another directory into the equation. I want to upload an image into the following structure: /public/image/userid/imageid/test.gif So basically I want to look up the userid in my users table and put all the images for that user in the same directory. So i have a one

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

Hello, I had a problem cropping images with file_column. These are my settings: file_column :image, :magick => { :versions => { :thumb => "80x80>", :medium => "150x150>", :square => { :crop => "1:1", :size => "50x50!" } },

I''m trying to hack around a previously mentioned RMagick problem, confirmed to exist inside of Rails but not outside. Thus, I''d like to call a Ruby script from with in a Rails controller.

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
