Greetings all, This is the first release of the SuperImage plugin. The idea is you upload images to the database, and then pull them out at any size you want. Combine this with caching and it will stay light and fast.

So i followed the steps in the agile development book and everything is working just fine... i even added a few new functions to list and manage the pics. but what if i start uploading big pics? i don''t want to have huge desk-top size pics taking up the whole page all the time. right? so does anyone have a sort-of thumbnail thing they''d be willing to share? any help would

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

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

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!" } },

Hello. I''ve been trying this out for the past two days and I can''t seem to get it. I''m going to have a page where you can upload x amount of images at once. Lets say 10 images need to be uploaded, all with a caption. I''d like to have a browse button to choose the file, then the caption. Now, if I put 10 of them in one form, fill them all out and submit, I get

Hello, I''m a newbie to Ruby on Rails and like many others, I have been working through the depot application in the Agile Web Development book. I was wondering if anyone had enhanced the depot application to include the upload of images for each product? The following describes the sort of thing that I have been asked to produce for a client, so apologies if the information is not

Hello, I''m just starting out with both Rails and Ruby, so I hope this isn''t too simple of a question - but I''ve been struggling to find a solution. I''m using the file_column plugin to handle image uploads and thumbnail generation. In addition, I''ve wrapped the image into a polymorphic table so I can have uploaded images associated with multiple

hi, is it possible to resize animated gifs with file_column? if i upload an animated gif file with file_column than the animation no longer exists... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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

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

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?

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 am trying to figure out how file column works so i can play with it a little bit on my site. i have installed it as a plugin to my rails application, copied the snippets on both model and view but when i try to run the page, i get an error saying "undefined method `file_column_field''" did i do something wrong or is something not installed? -- Posted via

Hey railsers...anyone run into this problem? I''m developing an app which I''m deploying with Capistrano. That being said, I''ve stuck all the file_column goodies in public/system/... During my deployment script I chmod -R that directory and everything in it to make sure www-data (the apache user/group) has access to it. In development mode on my Macbook I can upload

The file column plug-in is great, but there is a problem with it. Well, two... But the other is well documented now. :^) Consider a time when you''ve created a CMS for a client and it''s been in use for over a year. Say 1500+ images have been uploaded so far. Now the client comes back with a simple request... ''Can you change the thumbnail size to 80/90, rather than

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

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''.

This is probably me having an issue with the mvc way of living.. .I''m used to perl/php scripting... I''ve got a photo blog I''m making... and in past iterations of this website, I''d just name the photos after the id of the entry. For instance: /photos/id.jpg /photos/id_thumb.jpg However, I''m having trouble finding an easy way to do this with rails.
