This seems to be caused by the rails file_field helper not storing the data that has been read in from the db in the same

OK, so I''m an absolute noob at Ruby on Rails. I''ve read a lot of information I can find about form_for and most of them use form_for to create new items that get saved into the database and can be viewed later to edit, destroy, etc. In this case, the database will fill up with whatever the user wrote and I just want my program to have no information stored. I''ve been

When I do file_field within a form_for things are fine... but within a form_remote_for, with nothing else changed, I find that the params does not even have the element document[uploaded_file] even though it is definitely present in the HTML source in the form. Obviously the file upload fails. Am I missing something? Or has someone else faced this? Or is this a known bug? Rajesh

First off, I''m not trying to spec attachment_fu, I know it''s been tested. But, I added some code to that model that I do need to test. Basically, I need to somehow fulfill the "uploaded_data" property so I can actually run my tests(otherwise they fail because of validations). The "uploaded_data" field is what would grab the multipart data from form. Here

Seems the only issues I ever have with Rails are these bizarre fiddly little things that make no sense. Can''t for the life of me understand why I''m getting undefined method on form_for in a view? And it''s actually part of the acts_as_authenticated plugin that''s doing it. But how can it not know about form_for? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have a simple form , with a file field = form_for (Clip.new), :html => {:multipart => true} , :remote => true , do |f| = f.hidden_field :user_id, {:value => current_user.id} = f.text_field :name = f.text_area :description = f.file_field :image = f.submit I18n.t(:add) generating the html code <form accept-charset="UTF-8"

Hi All, I am experiencing issues with the use of DBase files on a Samba 2.0.5a share, that appear to be due to locking problems. Basically, I have test programs for both DOS and Win32 that does nothing but append records to a DBase database (DBF/MDX files). If more than one client PC is appending to this file, data loss occurs. I get random data loss, with records lost, and index file

Routing Error user_url failed to generate from

Hello all, I am trying to implement a feature in my app where a user posts a message along with an image. This is something similar to what is there in `www.diasp.org` .

I''m playing around with Markaby and I decided to write a little blog app. I''m running into issues with forms however. If I use form_for the output of the form gets swallowed. For example: form_for :article, @article do |f| f.text_field :title f.check_box :published f.text_area :description f.text_field :pub_date f.text_area :content end gets rendered as an empty form

Hi, I have a resource map like this: map.resources :users do |user| user.resource :sreg10record end So a User is supposed to have (at most) one Sreg10record. The problem is in the views.
