Hey there, good job with the file_column thing, but I''m experiencing a problem I didn''t found about.

But when I tried the example listed on the plugin web site, I got the following error: NoMethodError in Entry#new undefined method `file_column'' for Entry:Class My environement is Red Hat linux 9.0 with mysql 4.1. I installed file_column under vendor/plugins. If I run "ls", I get the following directories:

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, 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 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

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",

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, 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.

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 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},

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",

first off, thanks (a lot!) sebastian for creating this module... I''ve been spending a lot of time in getting file uploads to work. inside a project I''m working on, I''ve got two different models using it... with one of them it''s working just fine. with another, everything works, with the exception of the url_for_file_column helper, which shows

Here''s what I''m trying to do. I have two divs, one holds about 20 small images of products and the other holds a single large image of one of the products.

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
