Hi - I just tried to install file\_column and can’t install it according to the original instructions anymore. The original instructions (at [http://www.kanthak.net/opensource/file\_column/](http://www.kanthak.net/opensource/file_column/)) say to do this: ./script/plugin install [http://opensvn.csie.org/rails\_file\_column/plugins/file\_column/trunk](http://opensvn.csie.org/rails_file_column/plugins/file_column/trunk) but there’s no plugin program in my script directory anymore. I presume this is a change in rails 2.1, as I’m now using rails 2.1 and this install worked fine for another app I wrote using rails 2.0.2. Steve ---

> ./script/plugin install > [http://opensvn.csie.org/rails\_file\_column/plugins/file\_column/trunk](http://opensvn.csie.org/rails_file_column/plugins/file_column/trunk) That’s the command I used 2 days ago to install file\_column in my project (Rails 2.1 used). After executing command, I have file\_column plugin in my “vendor/plugins/” folder. I don’t know what’s the problem, but I believe it has nothing to do either with version of Rails, either with file\_column plugin. ---

There certainly should be a plugin file in the script folder whether you’re on 2.0.2 or 2.1 Fred ---

I’m trying to install this plugin into a radiant app. Maybe Radiant got rid of the plugin program. I will be using rails\_support to build my own extensions to this radiant app so my rails app will use radiant pages. Any suggestions on how I would install and use this plugin, given the above? Thank you for any help. Steve ---
