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. --

This is probably me having an issue with the mvc way of living.. .I''m used to perl/php scripting... I''ve got a photo blog I''m making... and in past iterations of this website, I''d just name the photos after the id of the entry. For instance: /photos/id.jpg /photos/id_thumb.jpg However, I''m having trouble finding an easy way to do this with rails.

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 see that the SVN version of the excellent file_column plug-in can create thumbnails using the url_for_image_column helper. This uses Rmagick to create the thumbnail... Quick question... Let''s say the file is a TIFF image - can the helper create a JPG version of the thumbnail for display in the browser? Curious if the plug-in can handle that transform with some creative use of the

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?

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 =>

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!" } },

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

The file column plug-in is great, but there is a problem with it. Well, two... But the other is well documented now. :^) Consider a time when you''ve created a CMS for a client and it''s been in use for over a year. Say 1500+ images have been uploaded so far. Now the client comes back with a simple request... ''Can you change the thumbnail size to 80/90, rather than

Hello, I''m a newbie to Ruby on Rails and like many others, I have been working through the depot application in the Agile Web Development book. I was wondering if anyone had enhanced the depot application to include the upload of images for each product? The following describes the sort of thing that I have been asked to produce for a client, so apologies if the information is not

Is there a simple way of forcing file_column to download file from given (ex. in form) url instead of uploading it manualy? I know: http://blog.caboo.se/articles/2006/01/09/file_column-magick-and-versions require ''open-uri'' Attachment.find_first.filename = open(url) if not working as expected... what is interesting is that: >> @a =

I''m using Windows and Postgres 8. I installed RMagic gem thingy and FileColumn plugin ok. I followed instructions exactly as directed on FileColumn web site which is very straight forward: ---model class My_model < ActiveRecord::Base file_column :column_for_file_name end -----view -upload form--set to mulitpart <%= file_column_field "my_model",

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

Hi, I''m using filecolumn to upload a file to mysql blob : _form.rhtml : file_column_field "entry", "attach" model (rb file) : file_column :attach How can I update controller create function to insert file in database ? redefine model save function ? Someone has a sample source ? Regards, Fabian

So i followed the steps in the agile development book and everything is working just fine... i even added a few new functions to list and manage the pics. but what if i start uploading big pics? i don''t want to have huge desk-top size pics taking up the whole page all the time. right? so does anyone have a sort-of thumbnail thing they''d be willing to share? any help would

Hi When I submit the form with field_column, the actual image is not uploaded, only temp files are crreated and I dont see actual file created and the image file name is not in the database and get "fieldWithErrors". Then if submit again, the actual file in created and an database record is generated. Here is the log file. I print @params and @wallpaper. I find the following: 1st

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

Hi there, I''d like to use RMagick to watermark an image in the tmp directory before Attachment_fu saves it to Amazon S3. I took a look at the callbacks available in attachment_fu. There''s an ''after_attachment_saved'' method but this would be too late, and a ''before_thumbnail_saved'' but this is no good because it''s for thumbnails. I

Hi, Sebastian I downloaded FileColumn plugin and love the concept.
