similar to: saving mime type and size of uploads - newbie question

Sorry, more newby FC questions! I would like to use one file upload field to upload both PDFs and images. The images are in the listing_images table and PDFs are in the listing_pdfs table - both have a one-to-many relationship with listings. How do I do this? For listing_images, I would like to store the width and height of the image so I can produce valid xhtml image tags. I can''t

I am running into an error using file_column plugin, and am not sure where the problem lies. I am trying to upload Microsoft Excel files and Adobe Illustrator files, but they are incorrectly identified as Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat files, respectively. I am not sure if this is a problem with the file_column plugin or rmagick. Any ideas?

I''m working on an app right now that uses http://www.kanthak.net/opensource/file_column/index.html Sebastian Kanthak''s file_column plugin for file uploads. The usual directory structure it saves to is: model/attr/id/filename For my current project, I''d like to separate uploads by account so that it''s easier to monitor an account''s resource usage.

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

file_column is great -- but I need a way to run through the validations (ie: validates_file_format_of) before saving. That is, when a user first uploads an image it is displayed in the view but not ''saved'' until they click the ''Save'' button on the form. I want to display an error message/disable the ''Save'' button if the file they just

I''m working on a model for a videos table that include the video info (title, description) and a couple of uploads (video file, thumb image) I was going to use the file_column plugin but I dont like the idea of storing the file names in the database when I dont need to, plus I dont think it is very flexible. Here''s what I done. What do you think of this? Any suggestions?

Is there a way to get the MIME extension of a file_column field? Here''s what I want to do (look for comment in before_save method): class ProductFile < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :product file_column :file_name def before_save self.file_type = # something that returns the MIME type (e.g. image/jpeg) end end TIA

I''ve been using file_column for a while and it''s the best thing since sliced bread. But there''s one thing that it doesn''t do that seems like it''d be a pretty useful feature. For an app I''m working on I really need to know the dimensions of the store image in my view (and in general it''s always good to have the dimensions in your

Hi all, I encounter timeout errors during file uploads in my Rails application. I think the problem may be in the Mongrel configuration.

Hello, I''m just starting out with both Rails and Ruby, so I hope this isn''t too simple of a question - but I''ve been struggling to find a solution. I''m using the file_column plugin to handle image uploads and thumbnail generation. In addition, I''ve wrapped the image into a polymorphic table so I can have uploaded images associated with multiple

So I am now able to set/upload an image to my app using file_column, with a little bit of a change to the code. I can change the image using an Edit page, but I''m trying to figure out what to do if the user wants to remove the image. I tried adding a Remove Image link in my list, but I''m not sure what to do in the remove_image method in my controller. I tried setting the

I have configured my vsftpd instances to use virtual users and map them to a system user. So all uploads should be written with owner and group of this system user (let's call it ftpsystemuser). But in the the last weeks/months it appears that uploads are written twice, on instance as it should (owner and group of the system user used to map the virtual user that did the upload), and the

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)

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.

Hi, has anyone come across any incompatibilities between file_column and login_engine? I''ve been having strange issues where a User model with file_column in it is failing to save the images properly. Everything uploads to the tmp dir fine, but then it never gets copied to the proper permanent location. No errors - everything happens fine except for that final part. I have

hey guys, the way i''m handling file uploads is no good, but i''m not sure what the best way to go about it is. right now my approach is to use FileUtils.mv to move the uploaded file to the directory i want it in. this approach doesn''t work well because sometimes the uploaded file is just an IO object instead of a temporary file (apparently small files aren''t
