similar to: File_Column w/ Dynamic Sizing

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''m confused about how attributes work in models. For example: class Page < ActiveRecord::Base attr_accessor :body def foo id # works @id # won''t work IIRC body # won''t work @body #works end end Why doesn''t everything work the same? Joe -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello, I had a problem cropping images with file_column. These are my settings: file_column :image, :magick => { :versions => { :thumb => "80x80>", :medium => "150x150>", :square => { :crop => "1:1", :size => "50x50!" } },

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

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. --

I''ve implemented Ferret, using the instructions here: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowToIntegrateFerretWithRails I get no errors in the application at all... however, I always get 0 results. I built an index off of some data, it exists in the index/ directory, the form submits find... etc... Just 0 results... all the time :) I confirmed the data from my models is being put

I would like to have a login box setup so that if incorrect info is submitted, the box "shakes" via Effect.Shake. If the correct information is submitted, I want to redirect to some other page. The only solution I''ve found is the following, which is pretty ugly, as it displays the javascript I''m invoking on the page prior to the redirect. Here is the code: The Form

Hello ! I''m trying to implement something similar to the "multiple updates" section of the Web2.0 chapter of the Agile book. I implemented my version, and nothing is happening. No javascript errors, my logs look fine, page is rendered fine... just no Effect.Highlight. Here is the code: views/causes/cause_home/index.rhtml =============== <%= form_remote_tag(:complete =>

Maaaaaaaaaaaaajor sanity check needed. I wrote a simple little plugin, and it wouldn''t load. I put some comments in it''s init.rb, and it didn''t even spit those out. So, I dug into the initializer.rb (/vendor/rails/railties/lib/initializer.rb) to see wtf is going on, and found the problem... but... can''t explain it. Here is the code in question:

Hey All ! I have a form which contains two models. I would like both models to be validated, but have their validations aggregated on the page. If I do: <%= error_messages_for(:model1) %> <%= error_messages_for(:model2) %> It puts two big validation blocks on the page. I would like all the errors from both models, but only in one validation box. Is this possible ? All my attempts

Hi, I''m using the basic magick features of file_column, and while files are uploading fine without the magick options, as soon as I do something like :magick => { :size => "400x600" } I get an ''invalid file'' error. Further investigation reveals that the file is in fact invalid because something somewhere is truncating the file path:

I am getting this following error when using file_column with RMagick: uninitialized constant Magick /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.5/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:200:in `const_missing'' ./script/../config/../vendor/plugins/rails_file_column/plugins/ file_column/branches/kyle/lib/file_column.rb:621:in `file_column''

Hi all, I patched file_column to add imagemagick transformations of uploaded content. I added an options hash, and it takes the :magick and :format keys. :magick is a string of imagemagick command line options for convert (Reference: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php). Format is an optional extension for the finished image. If Imagemagick recognizes the extension, then it will

Hello Everyone ! Wanted to announce the launch of a new, 100%, Ruby/Rails based shopping system. http://www.rightcart.com (our blog: http://www.rightcartblog.com) It''s basically a shopping widget that allows users to make purchases directly through the widget.... no need to be redirected to a third party shopping cart.

Hello All ! I''ve been using RJS extensively, but haven''t done any form validation with it until now. Should I be manually passing the RJS template some models error messages from the controller.... or ... should I be using error_messages_for in order to do the display ? I''ve implemented the first approach, but it seems like quite a hack. Any insight would be greatly

Hi, Currently I''m using the file_column plugin to upload images and save multiple copies of each at 3 different resoltions: file_column :name, :magick => { :versions => { "thumb96" => "96x150>", "medium250" => "250x400>", "large480" => "480X640>" } } I am wondering if

In my daily development, I migrate back and forth between versions, and often do: rake load_fixtures... ... in order to populate my development database with fun data. Now, with any HABTM relationship, there are failures, as there is no way to say "which" fixtures to load first. Within an actual functional or unit test case, you could simply load them in the proper order, but

I''m trying to use file_column in an app I''m writing. Simple file uploads are working fine. However, when I try and use the :magick options to make resized versions, WEBrick dies. This is the Media model: class Media < ActiveRecord::Base file_column :media_item, :magick => { :versions => { :thumb => {:size =>

Can anybody share some examples of their Money implementation ? I''m trying to setup a Model to use this library, but can''t seem to wrap my head around how it is exactly supposed to work.
