Hi, Sebastian Kanthak of the file_column-Plugin wrote once: "is the photo object inside a local variable or an instance variable (e.g. photo or @photo)? url_for_file_column only works with instance variables, like all other active record form helpers.

Hi, Say I have a model Event that has a file_column called ''pdf''. I want to send out emails that contain the URL for the pdf file that''s associated with the Event.
