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. The tmp directory will contain the correct file size, and I copied the temp over the 0kb file, and then it

I have a user model subclassed into Employees and Managers using STI. I am using FileColumn to manage images, in this case logos. If an Employee doesn''t have a logo of its own, I want my app to use the Manager''s logo in views.

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''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,

Hi guys, I want to have a file upload form which would allow the user to ask for certain transformations of the image before saving it - most importantly, to resize it. Now, how can I make an instance of FileColumn enabled model process these imagemagick instructions? My model looks looks somewhat like : class Image < ActiveRecord::Base attr_accessor :resize_dimension, :resize_to

I have a file uploader application in ROR using the very nice FileColumn plugin. In looking at the source code I can see that there is a DEFAULT_OPTION hash with some root path options and such which can be merged from an options paramater. These static path changes are not a problem. My question is dynamic path options. My upload form, when you boil it down, has two fields. The first is

I''m curious if anyone knows if development on the file_column plug in is continuing? I''ve seen some SVN commits from awhile back but no binary releases. Did Sebastian speak at Canada on Rails? Anyone catch that? What is the future of file_column?

Newbie question here: How can I extend the (awesome!) file_column plugin to provide methods for content_type, filesize, and original file name? I know I should be able to do this, but I can''t quite figure it out. Please help. Thanks. -cal

I wasn''t sure where to email this request, so I am hoping the author of file_column actually sees this. I was wondering if there were any plans to allow some configurability in the file_column plugin. By configurability I mean allowing the developer to define which table column is used as the unique identifier when creating image folders. Right now it seems like it uses the ID of the

Is there a simple way of forcing file_column to download file from given (ex. in form) url instead of uploading it manualy?
