dear all

I followed [http://clarkware.com/cgi/blosxom/2007/02/24](http://clarkware.com/cgi/blosxom/2007/02/24)  
i installed ImageScience and FreeImage.  
whenever I create an entry it does not get to the database and it does  
not upload the file

I am not sure what is wrong in the code, especially it is mere copy  
paste 🙂

I added this to  
config/environment.rb  
config.gem ‘image\_science’

config/route.rb  
map.resources :mugshots

this is the code

class Mugshot \< ActiveRecord::Base  
has\_attachment :content\_type =\> :image,  
:storage =\> :file\_system,  
:max\_size =\> 500.kilobytes,  
:thumbnails =\> { :thumb =\> ‘100x100\>’ },  
:processor =\> ‘ImageScience’

```
    validates_as_attachment

```

end

class MugshotsController \< ApplicationController  
def index  
@mugshots = Mugshot.find(:all)  
end  
def new  
@mugshot = Mugshot.new  
end

def create  
@mugshot = Mugshot.new(params[:mugshot])  
if @mugshot.save  
flash[:notice] = ‘Mugshot was successfully created.’  
redirect\_to mugshot\_url(@mugshot)  
else  
render :action =\> :new  
end  
end

end

new.html.erb

\<%= error\_messages\_for :mugshot %\>

\<% form\_for(:mugshot, :url =\> mugshots\_path,  
:html =\> { :multipart =\> true }) do |f| -%\>

Upload A Mugshot: \<%= f.file\_field :uploaded\_data %\>

\<%= submit\_tag 'Create' %\>

\<% end -%\>

index.html.erb

# Most Wanted
\<% for mugshot in @mugshots -%\> \<%= link\_to image\_tag(mugshot.public\_filename(:thumb)), mugshot.public\_filename %\> \<% end -%\>

this is what i get from the log
