Hi,

I am using attachment\_fu plugin to upload images to database(I am using  
“:storage =\> :db\_file”).

Now I want to read the image and display it in a web page.

I am able to read it correctly, but i don’t know how to display this  
read image in a webpage. Both send\_data and send\_file are for  
downloading the image.

I tried with “image\_tag” method but didn’t succeed.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks in advance…

You can use send\_data with the :disposition parameter to make it  
inline. Just make sure you have the content type correct and it  
should work.
