Restricting size of an uploaded file, is how is that possible? If I do not want a user to upload a file larger than X bytes, can it easily be done? If I also would like restrict the types of files that can be uploaded, how may I do so? Thank you, Sharkie

Does anyone know if it''s possible to set constraints to the size & type of file that file_column will accept? I''d like to limit to image files of less than 2MB. If this isn''t possible with file_column, is there a graceful way of getting the controller to handle it? thanks dorian -- -- I do things for love or money

Hi, i just found the acts_as_attachment plugin for image upload, seems sogood but i cant find any docs about it, if someone here using it can give some references or working examples about the plugin that will be excellent. So what you wanna rails today? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi there, I''m using the wonderful file_column and have struck an issue that someone might have seen before. My images already sit on the server. So, instead of passing a multipart message I''m sending a file object. Something like... f = File.new("public/gallery_images/builder.png") p = Product.find_first p.image = f p.save On the save I recieve an error which

I have a model; I do photo = Photo.new(parameters) parameters contains: {"picture"=>#<File:C:/DOCUME~1/BART~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/CGI3180.1>} so i expect that the def picture=(filename) method is called in this constructor.. this is not the case. Does anyone know why? params[:photo].each_pair do |id, parameters| photo = Photo.new(parameters) end class Photo

Hi, has anyone come across any incompatibilities between file_column and login_engine? I''ve been having strange issues where a User model with file_column in it is failing to save the images properly. Everything uploads to the tmp dir fine, but then it never gets copied to the proper permanent location. No errors - everything happens fine except for that final part. I have

Hi, I''m using the basic magick features of file_column, and while files are uploading fine without the magick options, as soon as I do something like :magick => { :size => "400x600" } I get an ''invalid file'' error. Further investigation reveals that the file is in fact invalid because something somewhere is truncating the file path:

I''m writing a ''Mailman'' model that catches emails sent to my application (kind of like backpack, I think). The trouble is that I''d like to save image attachments in the same was that file_column saves them--in fact, I''d really like to use a simple assignment like photo.image = attachment to save the image in its proper place. However,

I''ve seen posts of a few people who have this problem, but not a single response about solving it. I can''t upload .png files, but .jpg and .gif work fine. When I upload just a .png, my action gets a StringIO object which breaks when I try to copy the upload to an absolute location. However, using multiple-field upload, as long as one of the to-upload files is *not* a .png, all

Okay, so this is driving me crazy. I''m trying to do a file upload using code from a book. What happens: I get wrong number of arguments (1 for 0) in the upload controller save action. No idea why. Schema: The schema for the picture model object is just a textfield named comments and a binary field called data. Upload controller: def get @picture =Picture.new end def save

Hi, AFAIK after_create is called after_save if the entry does not exist in the DB. Is there a way to tell if a specific model is new or not in after_save? I have to do something like: def after_save add_to_history ''save'' end def after_create add_to_history ''create'' end However after_save is called when creating too. -- cheers, M.

I added this test towards the end of the included file_column_helper_test.rb that shipped with the file_column plugin: def test_url_for_file_column_different_root_path Entry.file_column :image, :root_path => File.join(RAILS_ROOT, "public/files") e = Entry.new(:image => upload(f("skanthak.png"))) assert_match %r{/public/files/entry/image},

I have a very strange problem here. I do not get this. So any help is greatly appreciated. Basically I have a model that calls a method in the background process in the "after_save" method. Let''s call the model products. So what happens is this: 1. I create a new product. 2. Everything works and the product is saved with id 13. 3. A method is called in my background
