Hello all,
I have a working file_column installation on a Document class. I can
upload,
download, and delete files with this class with no problem (using the
documents controller).
The problem comes when I try to upload a file from a different
controller.
Specifically, I have a URL ³/users/new" that results in this in the form
view:
<%= file_column_field 'document', 'filename' %>
or, rendered,
<input id="document_filename_temp" name="document[filename_temp]"
type=“hidden” />
This is identical to how it’s used and rendered in “/documents/new”.
In the controller for “users/create” (which is called from the form), I
do
exactly what I do in “documents/create”:
@document = Document.new(params[:document])
The document object will get created and the row will get saved in the
db
table, but there is never a file uploaded. More precisely, the
parameters
are always like this:
"document"=>{"filename_temp"=>""}
If I upload the same document from “/documents/new”, the params are like
this:
"document"=>{"filename_temp"=>"", "filename"=>#<StringIO:0x22c64f8>}
I figure that all the cool stuff happens in the model, so it shouldn’t
matter which controller does the uploading. But, I must be missing
something, probably obvious. Any ideas what’s going on?
