similar to: re-sizing pictures.....

Greetings all, This is the first release of the SuperImage plugin. The idea is you upload images to the database, and then pull them out at any size you want. Combine this with caching and it will stay light and fast. More info and instructions are here: http://beautifulpixel.textdriven.com/articles/2006/04/27/superimage-plugin-making-resizeable-uploaded-images-easy svn:

does anyone know much about resizing different versions of images with file_column? i tried it and everything works fine, but my question is can you do more than just make sizes with a version of image? i''m working on a photo album and i would like to resize the image to a medium size, but create a thumbnail as well and crop anything left to make the thumbnail a perfect square. --

Hello, I''m a newbie to Ruby on Rails and like many others, I have been working through the depot application in the Agile Web Development book. I was wondering if anyone had enhanced the depot application to include the upload of images for each product? The following describes the sort of thing that I have been asked to produce for a client, so apologies if the information is not

I''m curious if anyone knows if development on the file_column plug in is continuing? I''ve seen some SVN commits from awhile back but no binary releases. Did Sebastian speak at Canada on Rails? Anyone catch that? What is the future of file_column?

I''m working on a CMS for some time now. I need some kind of functionality to deal with images. As I know there are to plugins available: SuperImage and FileColumn. Neither of these have exactly what I want. What I want is a plugin with the following functions: - A poppup window (or ajax field) where you can search for, scroll trought pictures, find the one you will have, press on that,

This is probably me having an issue with the mvc way of living.. .I''m used to perl/php scripting... I''ve got a photo blog I''m making... and in past iterations of this website, I''d just name the photos after the id of the entry. For instance: /photos/id.jpg /photos/id_thumb.jpg However, I''m having trouble finding an easy way to do this with rails.

Has anyone any experiance with the FileColumn plugin. I''m trying to create thumbnails, and also alow non picture uploads. Here''s some working code, but if I try and upload a zip, it says ''File invalid image''. Is there anyway of having both image uploads (and thumbnail generation) while also allowing non image uploads? class Entry < ActiveRecord::Base

I''m working on a photo gallery and I''m using File_column to handle the uploads of the files and create my thumbnails, but does anyone here have any idea how to have a watermark (opaque text maybe) placed over one of the versions? Any ideas on how to go about this would be great. Even if it''s just straight RMagick code, that would be fine too. Thanks in advance for the

I have this code in a controller that returns images to my browser...with ROR. def index @products = Product.find_all_ pictures end ....this is the .rhtml.. <% for photo in @pic -%> <div class="entry"> <img src="<%= photo.image_url %>"/> <h3><%= h(photo.title) %></h3> <%= photo.description %>

So I am designing a railsapp that indexes school organizations such as clubs and frats/sororities. I have decided to represent this as a graph, and that each entity is going to be just represented as a node, and the relationship between each node is going to be an edge. so basically, a frat such as "Alpha Beta Gamma" is represented as a node, and its chapters also as seperate nodes,

I''d like to implement a system in a Rails app where I allow the user to upload an image file, and then the app takes that image and manipulates it, saving a thumbnail, small, and original size version of the file to the server. How would I go about doing that? Thanks, Jeff -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I see that the SVN version of the excellent file_column plug-in can create thumbnails using the url_for_image_column helper. This uses Rmagick to create the thumbnail... Quick question... Let''s say the file is a TIFF image - can the helper create a JPG version of the thumbnail for display in the browser? Curious if the plug-in can handle that transform with some creative use of the

Hi, which is the best way to upload an image, keep that and also make a thumbnail? The images should not be stored in the database, but as normal image files in a specific directory. I think that for the thumbnail i should use rmagick, but for the upload ? (something which work with and without javascript, in every browser) Thanks :) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m trying to keep my rails app lean and mean and want to avoid (if possible) dealing with image uploads, thumbnail generation, running RMagick etc. I was excited about Amazon letting you upload files directly from the browser to your S3 bucket (http://doc.s3.amazonaws.com/proposals/ post.html) but I couldn''t figure out how to generate thumbnails - has anyone figured this out?

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,

Hello friends, I have configured attachment_f. It''s working fine on Local(development) system but giving problem on production. Basically on production the attachment_fu is not able to generate thumbnail image it saving the original size image. Below is the configuration. has_attachment :content_type => :image, :storage => :file_system, :max_size

Hi, I need to create a preview of a PDF upload to a CMS I''m building. Does anyone know how to create a thumbnail of the first page of a PDF using RMagick?

I have two problems. I have a comment that has_many uploads. Before saving the comment, I want to be sure that the upload(s) has passed validation, but I also need to validate in other ways. For example, I do not want to save the comment if there is no comment or upload. Or, I do not want to save the comment if the image has been uploaded previously (comparing md5s with past upload md5s

Hi. I''m a fairly new mongrel user and have a scenario that I wanted to run by you all, see if anyone''s synapses connect -- mine def. aren''t! I''m running a fairly simple rails app through a mongrel cluster (2 mongrels). This site is consistently sloooow -- memory on the server is regularly paging (and shouldn''t be). ssh-ing in and running top shows

I''ve based my code on the Agile example for uploading files, pages 362-365. I''ve successfully loaded the Picture object to the database, but I come unstuck when trying to replicate this for a thumbnail version of the original image: thumbnail = Thumbnail.new thumbnail.name = ''thumbnail_'' + @picture.name.to_s
