Hi, Say I have a model Event that has a file_column called ''pdf''. I want to send out emails that contain the URL for the pdf file that''s associated with the Event.

Hi All, I am using the file_column plugin to upload images. The model that I am using is simply called images (id, name, caption - name being the "file" column) and it belongs_to a parent model called books which has_many images.

Hi, Sebastian Kanthak of the file_column-Plugin wrote once: "is the photo object inside a local variable or an instance variable (e.g. photo or @photo)? url_for_file_column only works with instance variables, like all other active record form helpers.

Hi, I have the following in a viewer Here, @lst = Homework.find(:all) is an array of homeworks. I checked this this is correct. Based on the error below, somehow, the url_for_file_colum does not like to act on the model element. I checked the source code to url_for_file_column, and the problem is with instance_variable_get(). I have no idea wat is going on! Any help is appreciated. Gordon.

Hey, I''ve gotten file_column to upload a file, drop it in the dynamic directory, but I can''t display the image, the directories repeat themselves: My model: class Person < ActiveRecord::Base file_column :image_url In my view: <%= image_tag url_for_file_column(''person'', ''image_url'') %> HTML generated is this: <img

I also posted this on Rails Engines forum. Sorry for the double post. I am trying to configure file_column plugin so that it stores the images in a directory completely outside of RAILS_ROOT. I have no problems in storing the files by setting :root_path option. But I can''t get to display these images using ''url_for_file_column''. What I get instead of the image is

Hi Guys, I have been struggling with this one for a while... file_column 0.3.1 My file gets uploaded and thumbnailed correctly, however <%= url_for_file_column("item", "image") %> returns nil...

1) installation is not as smooth as some other plug-ins. If you follow the instructions on http://www.kanthak.net/opensource/file_column/ it makes a directory called trunk instead of file_column. You have to manually rename it to file_column. I guess this is a minor annoyance but it gives me the feeling that things aren''t quite like other plugins. 2) I get this error: undefined
