similar to: url_for_file_column and image_tag not working right together

Hi All I am able to upload images but when I add the code to my view.rhtml <%= image_tag url_for_file_column("myimage", "image1", "medium" ) %> I dont get the image displayed; the reason being some extra numbers are added to the image file name. For example when I loaded intro_image.jpeg; it has the right file name in the database table. When I check the

I am using the very helpful file_column extension in my app. The uploading portion works great - no problems. Where I am having an issue is displaying the images in my view. My code looks like this: <% for @record in @main_box_releases -%> <%= image_tag(url_for_file_column("record", "record_cover")) %> <% end -% @record is an instance of a class called

The docs in the SVN version of file_column state that url_for_file_column will return paths relative to the application root, and that if I pass it to image_tag, I''ll get an absolute URL. This doesn''t appear to be the case, at least with Rails 1.1. image_tag returns the same app-root-based path that it''s given. Doc bug? Rails change? file_column bug? Jay Levitt

I apologise for bad formatting. I don''t know how to make it nice in an email How do you nest image_url tags into link_to_remote tags. The following creates the error:wrong number of arguments (3 for 2) <%= link_to_remote(image_tag url_for_file_column(product, "image_url"), { "class" => "small_product",

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. I was able to figure out how to enter the images into the correct model when updating of form of the parent model (books). Now I need to figure out

I have a partial that has the following code: <% if product.prd_big_image.nil? %> <img alt="Image" src="/images/empty.jpg"> <% else %> <%= image_tag url_for_file_column(:product, :prd_big_image, "normal") %> <% end %> and get the following error You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! The error occurred while

is there a way to keep the file_column field in the form persistent across diffferent view templates ? In my controller (same controller for both views) i do @post = Post.new in the view i do form_step1.rhtml --------------------- <%= file_column_field "post", "image" %> <% if @post["image"] %> <%= image_tag url_for_file_column("post",

To make file_column work I have to copy my local variable back to an instance variables like this: <% for product in @products @product = product %> <div class="catalogentry"> <%= image_tag url_for_file_column(''product'', ''image_url'') %></p> This is needed because file_column specifically looks for the instance

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. Could this be the problem?" So I''m using file_column in a partial, e.g. <%= render (:partial => "product",

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},

Thanks szymek for putting me on track. What I did was re-intstall the file_column plug-in but I still got the same error so I added @recipe = recipe and then then error changed to something about nil.first. So I added a rescue "no image" to the end of my image_tag like so <%= image_tag url_for_file_column("recipe", "image") rescue "none" %> and

Hi, url_for_file_column @variable, ''name'', takes an instance variable. My question is, what if I don''t want to have to retrieve the instance variable every single time but I have the image id, along with its name with me. Could I contruct that object in a view and pass it to url_for_file_column: <% @picture = Picture.new %> @picture.id = ...

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

Hi, I correctly see: image_tag url_for_file_column("element", "picture_url", "medium") now I need to make it a link so I''ve used: <%= link_to(image_tag url_for_file_column("element", "picture_url", "medium"), {:controller => "products", :action => "sec_level", :level_id => @element.id}) unless

Hello, i hope somebody can help me: How can i get the path/url for a file stored with file_column within any contoller? Is it somehow possible to use the url_for_file_column method from the file_column_helper.rb ? Greetings and thanx for any advise, Marc -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I have recently moved my RoR app on the Heroku platform, and almost everything works fine apart from the videos. It works fine when my app runs in local but not on heroku. This is the error log I''m getting, if anyone knows where it can be coming from: Processing VideosController#new (for IP at 2010-03-20 04:32:09) [GET] Session ID: 6abecf60c3369d7c7029e366bb801e08 Parameters:

Hello all, another rails newbie here. I''m working on an project to simply upload pictures with some extra information, I was able to get uploads working thanks to file_column, however, a couple things are troubling me. First of all, according to the file_column website, displaying images should go like this: <%= image_tag url_for_file_column("entry", "image")

this seems so stupid, I keep thinking I''ve dealt with this before but I have this code <h1>Portraits</h1> <% if @image.portrait == 1 %> <%= image_tag(url_for_file_column ''image'', ''file'', ''thumb'') %> <% else %> <h1>Landscapes</h1> <%= image_tag(url_for_file_column

I''m trying out this recipe from the Rails Recipes book (the tagging one) but I''m also trying to use file_column to handle the uploading of pictures. Basically I think the problem is I''m not using an instance variable in the view''s partial that shows the details of my item. Off of my original list.rhtml page I have a <%= render :partial =>
