similar to: file_column and custom store_dir

I use file_column and it works fine. I tried to change the store_dir to a the path I want my files to be stored and not the default. I stored some images fine. But when I try to reach my images it seems like file_column uses the model_name/attribute_name on the image and not the store_dir I used. How can I change this ? Thanks in advance -- Alexander Antonakakis

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},

Hi, I am using file_column for some image uploading. I want to have all the images stored under one root which I have managed by setting the :store_dir option as below. file_column :filename, :store_dir => File.join(RAILS_ROOT, ''public'', ''images'', ''products'') So, my images get uploaded to: /public/images/products/<primary_key>

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

I store my file_column database outside of my RAILS_ROOT. It seems to work in real life, but not in tests. In the tests, I can''t set both the root_path and the store_dir. In tests, setting the store_dir option will override the root_path option. The only way for root_path to work is to remove store_dir. I think the problem is in file_column.rb on line 22: options[:store_dir]

File_column plugin is great. I need to change the default :store_dir from the dynamic "model_name/attribute_name" to an equally dynamic "client_id/app_id/model_name/attribute_name". In my model I have: class Component < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :component_type belongs_to :component_group breakpoint file_column :content, :magick => { :versions

I have several models that will be using file_column by way of the "Picture" class (HABTM). Right now, all pictures are stored in: public/picture/image/1/filename1.jpg public/picture/image/2/filename2.jpg Is there a way I can dynamically define the "store_dir" based on the model? For example, if I have "user", "product" and "place" models all

Hi! I''ve got 2 models - let''s call them User and Image. User has_many images. (Thanks to Mark Reginal James :) ) I have a single form where i can create a user and add to him any number of images, which are uploaded using file_column plugin. Now 3 questions: 1. How to change the default path where file_column plugin saves images, so it will save them in a directory, which

using file_column plugin, if I upload IMG0001.JPG, I get files similarly named IMG0001-thumb.JPG, etc. but if I upload img00002.jpg, I get files img00002-thumb.jpg, etc. This is tacky in terms of my counting on a consistency when implementing views. My inclination is to start hacking away at this section of file_column.rb: class PermanentUploadedFile < RealUploadedFile # :nodoc: def

i''ve changed store_dir to :store_dir => "public/uploads/users/pictures/" that works great for uploading, but url_for_file_column is still outputting: /user_picture/image/id/name.jpg how do i make url_for_file_column output the correct url? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I wasn''t sure where to email this request, so I am hoping the author of file_column actually sees this. I was wondering if there were any plans to allow some configurability in the file_column plugin. By configurability I mean allowing the developer to define which table column is used as the unique identifier when creating image folders. Right now it seems like it uses the ID of the

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. I also want to test the emails, so I''d need to be able to get at the URL for the pdf inside my unit tests. I don''t see how I can use url_for_file_column in this situation. Doing <%=

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.

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

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 = ...

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 have a user model subclassed into Employees and Managers using STI. I am using FileColumn to manage images, in this case logos. If an Employee doesn''t have a logo of its own, I want my app to use the Manager''s logo in views. I did the following in models/users.rb: ------- class User < ActiveRecord::Base file_column :logo end class Employee < User belongs_to

I have a file uploader application in ROR using the very nice FileColumn plugin. In looking at the source code I can see that there is a DEFAULT_OPTION hash with some root path options and such which can be merged from an options paramater. These static path changes are not a problem. My question is dynamic path options. My upload form, when you boil it down, has two fields. The first is

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/.
