Acts_as_attachment plugin + rails

Hello,

Is it possible to use the acts_as_attachment plugin with a remote_form ?
because when i try to use it i don’t get the file parameter. When i use
it without ajax it works perfectly.

thnx in advance

Javascript doesn’t have access to your files, so it’s not really
anything with the plugin. You can, however, upload to a hidden
iframe. It’s very hackish, though.

Hey Daan-

There is a plugin called respond_to_parent that will allow you to

return rjs to the iframe and have it eval’ed in the parent window.

does anybody know how to install the dang thing?

I got as far as this:

rake test_plugins PLUGIN=acts_as_attachement
(in /x/home/foobar/docs/thefoobar.com/thefoobar)
/usr/bin/ruby18 -Ilib:test
“/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.1/lib/rake/rake_test_loader.rb”

real helpful instructions there buddy :stuck_out_tongue:

I manually create the tables, but still no luck.
