Where should I look for information on how to use Rails and Ruby to accept the upload of a file and then to save that file to the file system of my server? I''m reading the "Uploading a file" section of Agile Web Dev with Rails, but it''s geared toward saving the file in the database. Any advice? Thanks, Jeff -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

So any files that are uploaded through my form are getting the following mode: -rw------- I need them to have: -rw-r--r-- I''ve tried setting the umask in a script file called set_umask.rb as follows: File.umask(022) and then starting mongrel using: mongrel_rails start -m config/mime.types -S set_umask.rb but it doesn''t seem to change the mode that the files are created

I submitted this earlier, but the web forums went down and I''ve screwed up the thread, so I''m starting over. I''m trying to built a document upload system. The system has a main Document model with different subclasses for different types of documents. With the code below, if I attempt to create a Document, it works fine, but if I attempt to use one of the subclasses, I

I am creating a database for movies (films) and television shows (shows) that will have has_and_belongs_to_many relationships with the pictures table. CREATE TABLE screenshots ( id serial NOT NULL, filename character varying NOT NULL, content_type character varying NOT NULL, primary key (id) ); CREATE TABLE films ( id serial NOT NULL, name character varying NOT NULL,

Hi, I need to take a single uploaded image file and save three resized versions of it, a thumbnail, normal and large version. I was planning on doing this in my model by having an array of geometry strings and looping through them, each time saving a new image object resized to the correct geometry. I know that file column does similar stuff, but I would prefer to have a separate database row

Since Ajax doesn''t support file uploads, I''m using "IFRAME remoting made easy" (http://sean.treadway.info/). I''m saving a file to the filesystem, and then trying to put it in to the database when I do the final submit with ajax. I thought picking the file up and putting it in the db would be as easy as having: "@image.data =

Hi, I''m trying to test my ad_controller. In order to create an ad, the user has to be logged in, so I have written a login() that logs in a valid user and generates a session[:user_id], like: def login (login="bob", password="atest") post "user/login", :user => { :login => login, :password => password } assert_response 302 # redirect

I have a csv file and in my controller: uploaded_file = params[:upload][:csv].read @rows << FasterCSV.parse(uploaded_file) I want to put in @rows only the first 10 lines but the read method reads all the file.

Hi all, Somewhat of a noob here. I have a table that has 5 file fields, and they are named file, file2, file3, file4, file 5. All of them will be .doc files. In firefox, I can upload these files just fine, and they will show up as Document.doc. In IE, it prepends the entire path. C:\My Documents\User\Desktop\Document.doc Which makes the file unreadable, and un-downloadable. I know that the

i have a rails app with a form that allows uploading an image file. I take the image file and read it into rmagick to verify that it''s an image. For some reason I can''t catch an exception thrown by rmagick inside the app. After an invalid image file is uploaded the process just hangs. I have to kill mongrel and restart to use the app again. img =

Hi all, I was wondering about the class used when rails receives file uploads. Sometimes it appears to be a File, and other times it is a StringIO. Also it has methods such as original_filename that don''t appear to belong to either of these classes. I ask because I''m trying to work out how to test my fil upload related models and controllers. Is there some standardised way of

I am trying to implement the uploading of a file to a remote server I get error while trying to write the file on the server. The error I get is the following: undefined method `rewind'' for #<String:0x2aaaad062eb8> It seems to be treating my file as a string instead of a File object. --------- Code is below ------------------ VIEW: <%=

Dear R Core: In the kutils package, I wrote a function that is so handy that I would like to ask you put it in R itself. file.backup() will look at a file, find its last modification time, and create a new backup with a name that appends YYYYMMDD-HHMM to the file name. So now, whenever I worry that running write.csv or saving a graph might destroy something valuable, I use an idiom like fn

I''m trying to create a document upload system, where most of the code is the super class Document and just the path to file on the system is controlled by the sub classes.

Hi! Today I needed to implement some controller code, that uses send_file() to send image data. How can this be tested / specified with RSpec? bye, Tobias

Hi All; This problem has come about from trying to learn some of the review practices recommend by rOpensci. One of them is to use the package goodpractice. After installing goodpractice, it kept failing on my own packages which are under development, and I was concerned something was funny in my own , so I have a fork of the package rerddap, and I tested goodpractice on that. I get the
