I''m developing on Windows and deploying to FreeBSD+lighttpd using Switchtower and I''ve got things generally working.

I looked through the file_column docs and found the :root_path option, which I use in my models as follows:

Hey railsers...anyone run into this problem? I''m developing an app which I''m deploying with Capistrano. That being said, I''ve stuck all the file_column goodies in public/system/...

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.

Basically I think the problem is I''m not using an instance variable in the view''s partial that shows the details of my item. Off of my original list.rhtml page I have a <%= render :partial =>

Hi all, i am using file_column to upload 3 images from the same form, they are all different names and DOM IDs so there isn''t a problem with the multiple upload.

Hi all, I emailed Sebastian awhile back about this, but I know he is busy, so I''m asking for your help. I''m using the latest version of file_column from SVN, or the non-SVN version (doesn''t matter), but on some files, file_column will create 0kb files.
