similar to: file_column + form_remote_tag

I have tried to upload a picture file with file_column plugin and form_remote_tag, but no success. When I do request.params.inspect it shows null for picture parameters. With normal form the file uploads nicely, so is it possible to upload file with form_remote_tag? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

i have a 2 step form which contains 1 file_column field. The second form is just "This is how your post will look" kind of form and the user can click Edit (to take them back to form1) or Submit. If the user clicks edit it takes them back to the first form with fields populated. I have it working with all text fields, I just dont know how to do this with file_column field (showing the

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

Im using the file_column plugin to upload files from my application. The problem I am encountering is that I have a form with 2 file upload fields and when I submnit that form with files selected, I would get a message from the browser(Firefox) saying that a script on the page is taking a long time to execute and whether I want to cancel it or continue. Whichever option I choose, only 1 file(PDF)

form_remote_tag does not support the input type=file. This is due to javascript security limitations. I created a plugin that modifies form_remote_tag so that if you pass it the option: :html => {:multipart => true}, it will submit via an iframe, allowing you to upload files. It works nicely with file_column :). Currently, it only works with RJS templates (no :update option), and I only

I really want to try out file_column but the repository seems to be down for me. I added it to my repository list and script/plugin is unable to see anything in it. I downloaded an archive from the website but it is not clear to me which files need to be installed to which subdirs of my RoR project. Anyone else having this issue with the repository? I am able to see other repositorys no

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. --

is there a way using the file_column plugin to enforce a certain content type based on regex (i.ie, /^image/) and/or filesize (150k) ? thanks adam

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 built out a simple CMS for websites that rely heavily on portfolios. This covers graphic and web designers in particular, but also other people with stuff to show off. It''s really easy to customize progressively, so that some people will only modify CSS, but others will dig deeper into Javascript behaviors and the Rails view code.

I received feedback from some of you, saying that it would be cool if RailsCron was even easier to manage. So I implemented a graceful start/restart inside of the plugin''s init.rb. If you don''t like it, comment it out and send me the feedback. Also, I finished an update to RailsCron that allows you to attach asynchronous processing methods to your ActiveRecord models. i.e.:

I updated RailsCron to fix some threading issues with ActiveRecord. Please update if you were on 0.2.1. Also, I am still working on a good unit test strategy (its tricky because I would think that the tests must occur over a lot of time), but haven''t had/made time to give it its due. If you have suggestions, please let me know. -- Kyle Maxwell Chief Technologist E Factor Media // FN

I was looking at Kyle Mawell''s extremely nifty-looking StateModels plugin http://www.kylemaxwell.com/articles/2006/02/06/fun-with-single-table-inheritance and before I go down the road with it, I was wondering if anyone has used it with file_column. The way file_column deals with an uploaded file -- by storing it to the filesystem in a path that employs the model name and id --

Hello, Is it possible to trigger an action in a controller when a table from database changes? I thought about using an utility like cron (railscron) to check every, e.g. 2 s, if the table changed, but I am wondering if there is a solution a bit more ''elegant'': to trigger an action exactly when the change is made.

I''m getting occasional errors that look like: Some method called for -517611318:Fixnum The method is constantly changing, and this error happens on ~5% of the page loads on my Mac Tiger development box. It''s happening on Ruby 1.8.2, and 1.8.4 compiled from source. I haven''t seen it on my Linux production boxes. I was wondering if anyone had seen this before? --

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

I ran into this error message a quite a few times since my app requires branching to different pages from the same action... say using a switch statement. Ofcourse I found that you can use multiple redirects or renders if you do render :action => ''new'' and return false I hate to code something I don''t understand fully. Any explanation of this will be greatly

This plugin lets you send mail through SMTP servers (like gmail) that require a secure connection. All you have to do is install the plugin via the standard methods, and set the following line somewhere useful (like environment.rb): ActionMailer::Base.server_settings[:tls] = true Plugin URL: http://svn.kylemaxwell.com/action_mailer_optional_tls/ -- Kyle Maxwell Chief Technologist E Factor

Hi Guys, Does anyone know how to restrict access on files that you upload in file column to certain users only? I notice that files being saved by the file_column by default are being saved under the public folder and can be accessed just by typing the URL directly. Let''s say you have a Login system where you restrict access to some pages and allow those users to upload their own

I have some files stored in db. When I try to download these I only get 65535 bytes from the database even if the file is a lot bigger. Is it a Rails setting I''ve missed or a database setting? Anything else? Using Rails 1.0, WinXP and MySQL4.1 /Marcus
