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''ve changed store_dir to :store_dir => "public/uploads/users/pictures/" that works great for uploading, but url_for_file_column is still outputting: /user_picture/image/id/name.jpg how do i make url_for_file_column output the correct url? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m trying to use the file_column plug-in to attach a file to a newsletter posting. It works fine if I get the form right the first time, but if I get an error, such as not typing in a required field, and the form re-displays, my file selection box reverts to "no file selected." Here''s my relevant controller code: def new @newsletterpost = Newsletterpost.new

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,

Is there a way to find out the attributes that have been passed to file_column in models? I''ve looked through the source and it seems that the file_column methods are generated at runtime but there''s actually no class or instance variable that hold the file attribute. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

is there a way using the file_column plugin to enforce a certain content type based on regex (i.ie, /^image/) and/or filesize (150k) ? thanks adam

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>

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

file_column is great -- but I need a way to run through the validations (ie: validates_file_format_of) before saving. That is, when a user first uploads an image it is displayed in the view but not ''saved'' until they click the ''Save'' button on the form. I want to display an error message/disable the ''Save'' button if the file they just

I''m trying to use file_column as a Rails plugin. Of course I read the doc (from Sebastian, this maillist) and little bit of source (as good as I, newbie, could understand it).. But I''m not able to implement it in my app.. I''m a totally newbie with less software development experience. I get the file_column_field in my view with simply invoking the helper... (:multipart

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

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 --

Hi, I''m trying to set up file_column to upload attachments for emails. My view has <td align="left"><%= file_column_field ''to_do'', ''attachment'' %></td> and the attachment_temp hidden field is generated.

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

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.

Calling url_for_file_colum results in a TypeError: can''t convert nil to string. The error is in line 148 of filecolumn.rb: def relative_path(subdir=nil) File.join(relative_path_prefix,subdir, @filename) end If I substitute '''' for subdir in the File.join command, then it seems to work fine. Since this is a plugin, I''m wondering why I need
