Hi, Rails - newbie here.. I''m setting up an app and am trying to use file_column to upload a picture with an item and I''m running into several problems. (Background: I''m running Locomotive Rails under OS X 10.4.4, and using Safari) I followed the directions to add the necessary items, then found out that I had to add the item to make the form tag be a multipart

So I am now able to set/upload an image to my app using file_column, with a little bit of a change to the code. I can change the image using an Edit page, but I''m trying to figure out what to do if the user wants to remove the image. I tried adding a Remove Image link in my list, but I''m not sure what to do in the remove_image method in my controller. I tried setting the

I use file_column and it works fine. I tried to change the store_dir to a the path I want my files to be stored and not the default. I stored some images fine. But when I try to reach my images it seems like file_column uses the model_name/attribute_name on the image and not the store_dir I used. How can I change this ? Thanks in advance -- Alexander Antonakakis

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. Could this be the problem?" So I''m using file_column in a partial, e.g. <%= render (:partial => "product",

I''m developing on Windows and deploying to FreeBSD+lighttpd using Switchtower and I''ve got things generally working. My problem now is that file_column data gets zapped every time I deploy, because Switchtower creates a whole new myapp/public directory with each rev. I looked through the file_column docs and found the :root_path option, which I use in my models as follows:

Hi, sounds somehow stupid, but I can''t get rid of my files that I uploaded into my application via the file_column plugin. Any suggestions? Cheers Thomas -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Anyone able to post a copy of the svn trunk of file_column? The website''s been down for the past few days, and I''ve only got the last release (0.31, I think), which is missing a whole load of goodies. Tx

I just tried setting up a simple Rails app, after updating to the 1.1RC1 version of Rails. Generating a simple scaffold worked fine, and WEBrick started fine with script/server. I then went to the http://localhost:3000 page and clicked on the "About your application''s environment" link, and an error was displayed: NoMethodError in Rails/info#properties private method

I am using the very helpful file_column extension in my app. The uploading portion works great - no problems. Where I am having an issue is displaying the images in my view. My code looks like this: <% for @record in @main_box_releases -%> <%= image_tag(url_for_file_column("record", "record_cover")) %> <% end -% @record is an instance of a class called

Hey, I''ve gotten file_column to upload a file, drop it in the dynamic directory, but I can''t display the image, the directories repeat themselves: My model: class Person < ActiveRecord::Base file_column :image_url In my view: <%= image_tag url_for_file_column(''person'', ''image_url'') %> HTML generated is this: <img

Hi, I''m working on an app - my first Rails - and am looking for some suggestions on the best way (or good way) to set up my models / DB. In general there are teams and matches; a team will participate in multiple matches, and in each match there will be 6 teams - 3 vs. 3. I''m going to want to be able, for a particular team, pull up all matches for that team, to display a

Hello ~ I have RMagick and file_column working in RoR. In my model I am setting up some standard sizes for the submitted photos. The photo files are created and named correctly, but the sizes are wrong. Only the second argument of my geometry call is used, with the width dimension being resized proportionately. file_column :image, :magick => { :versions => { "medium" =>

Hi there, I have seen in the file column plugin ( http://www.kanthak.net/opensource/file_column/) from Sebastian Kanthak or David''s acts_as_taggable plugin that to register my functionality I need to do something like this: ApplicationHelper.send(:include, InPlaceEditAssociations) I am wondering why not: (a) module ApplicationHelper include InPlaceEditAssociatons end or: (b)

first off, thanks (a lot!) sebastian for creating this module... I''ve been spending a lot of time in getting file uploads to work. inside a project I''m working on, I''ve got two different models using it... with one of them it''s working just fine. with another, everything works, with the exception of the url_for_file_column helper, which shows

1) installation is not as smooth as some other plug-ins. If you follow the instructions on http://www.kanthak.net/opensource/file_column/ it makes a directory called trunk instead of file_column. You have to manually rename it to file_column. I guess this is a minor annoyance but it gives me the feeling that things aren''t quite like other plugins. 2) I get this error: undefined

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

I have met a very strange problem on file_column usage. After I have added file_column :image to the model,everything is ok. But after I added more: file_column :image, :magick => {:versions => { :thumb => {:size => "50*50"}, :medium => {:size => "640*480>"}}} I can not even start the whole website! Here is the

Hi, I''m not sure if this is a postgres issue or not, but I''m using Postgres 8.1. I have (in my functional tests) the following code: upload = fixture_file_upload(''/files/podcast.mp3'', ''audio/mpeg'') post :create, :product => valid_product, :media => { :image => upload } And then in the controller: blob = Blob.create :data

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
