similar to: file_column :root_path question.

I added this test towards the end of the included file_column_helper_test.rb that shipped with the file_column plugin: def test_url_for_file_column_different_root_path Entry.file_column :image, :root_path => File.join(RAILS_ROOT, "public/files") e = Entry.new(:image => upload(f("skanthak.png"))) assert_match %r{/public/files/entry/image},

Hi, I am using file_column for some image uploading. I want to have all the images stored under one root which I have managed by setting the :store_dir option as below. file_column :filename, :store_dir => File.join(RAILS_ROOT, ''public'', ''images'', ''products'') So, my images get uploaded to: /public/images/products/<primary_key>

Finally getting my app up and running with Switchtower. I am also using file_column in my project. By default, it creates a directory for each model under ''public'' and goes from there. I have users adding files in my production application and those files they added aren''t managed under SVN as they aren''t part of the app, they are added content. Plus, since

Hi all, I''m using Capistrano and SVN to version control and deploy, but I''m not sure what to do about my images directory. I use file_column and RMagick to save images to the disk under a model called "Image", and they''re saved in public/image/... etc. Each time I deploy a new version, my image folder doesn''t exist anymore. I don''t want

I store my file_column database outside of my RAILS_ROOT. It seems to work in real life, but not in tests. In the tests, I can''t set both the root_path and the store_dir. In tests, setting the store_dir option will override the root_path option. The only way for root_path to work is to remove store_dir. I think the problem is in file_column.rb on line 22: options[:store_dir]

I was looking at Kyle Mawell''s extremely nifty-looking StateModels plugin http://www.kylemaxwell.com/articles/2006/02/06/fun-with-single-table-inheritance and before I go down the road with it, I was wondering if anyone has used it with file_column. The way file_column deals with an uploaded file -- by storing it to the filesystem in a path that employs the model name and id --

No..i am not a full time rails developer...i code in pl/sql for paying my bills...and i am just working on a pet project...so i had some trouble in doing..what i specify in the subject.....now somehow i solved this problem...so those interested can look at the code at: http://hemant.wordpress.com/2006/04/25/file_column-and-how-the-fuck-it-handles-multiple-files/ I write this mail and

I also posted this on Rails Engines forum. Sorry for the double post. I am trying to configure file_column plugin so that it stores the images in a directory completely outside of RAILS_ROOT. I have no problems in storing the files by setting :root_path option. But I can''t get to display these images using ''url_for_file_column''. What I get instead of the image is

I have several models that will be using file_column by way of the "Picture" class (HABTM). Right now, all pictures are stored in: public/picture/image/1/filename1.jpg public/picture/image/2/filename2.jpg Is there a way I can dynamically define the "store_dir" based on the model? For example, if I have "user", "product" and "place" models all

I have a model called ProductFiles which associates an arbitrary amount of image and documents with a product. I am using the file_column plugin to manage the upload and storage of the images, like so: class ProductFile < ActiveRecord::Base # Accepted MIME types, mime types that are not part of this list are rejected MIME_EXTENSIONS = { "image/gif" => "gif",

I asked this question earlier and did recieve an answer but I am not sure Ifully understood the answer as I am getting all sorts of errors when trying to implement. Basically I want to add a layer to the path for my files. I have the following set up in my model class: file_column :image, :store_dir => :dynamic_dir def dynamic_dir

Hi, I have a trouble with deploying my ordinary rails application(myapp). When I execute ''rake deploy'', [...] command finished * executing task symlink * executing "ls -x1 /var/www/myapp/releases" servers: ["app1.olalog.com"] [app1.olalog.com] executing command command finished * executing "ln -nfs /var/www/myapp/releases/under

this is getting frustrating... i installed file_column without a hitch for the first time to just play around with. using the exact same steps as before, i try to use it with one of my actual applications, and i get "permission denied" errors. i figure there might be some conflict with my application so just for kicks i do the exact same thing i did the first time to test

Hi, I''m on Windows and getting the following error while trying to use file_column with RMagick, uninitialized constant Magick C:/INSTAN~1.0/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:123:in `const_missing'' #{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins/file_column/branches/kyle/lib/file_column.rb:621:in `file_column'' I installed file_column by

Hi there, I''m using the wonderful file_column and have struck an issue that someone might have seen before. My images already sit on the server. So, instead of passing a multipart message I''m sending a file object. Something like... f = File.new("public/gallery_images/builder.png") p = Product.find_first p.image = f p.save On the save I recieve an error which

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''

To make file_column work I have to copy my local variable back to an instance variables like this: <% for product in @products @product = product %> <div class="catalogentry"> <%= image_tag url_for_file_column(''product'', ''image_url'') %></p> This is needed because file_column specifically looks for the instance

Hmm, I''m using file_column and going by this tutorial, the files upload ok and I can see the fields updated in the database, but I am getting this error: "Trying to access file_column, but primary key got lost." Thanks in advance -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I''m trying to figure out the best way to protect images uploaded by users who may wish to keep them private. For example, if they are uploaded in the default file_column location (/public/blah/blah/1/) then someone can simply type the URL http://www.blah.com/blah/blah/1 and get the image. I can store the images in a non-public directory in the rails app (ie: /railsapp/images/X/)

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