Hi,  
I’m pretty new to Ruby and I’ve been banging my head against my desk all  
day trying to get to the bottom of this.  
I’m trying to use file\_upload to upload image files, but for some reason  
when I try to view them using \<%= file\_column\_field “propertyimage”,  
“img\_location” %\> the url includes a development/ directory.

eg:  
“/propertyimage/img\_location/5/x.jpg”  
“/propertyimage/img\_location/development/5/x.jpg”

Anyone any ideas?  
Cheers  
ab

Ok so its file\_column and not file\_upload as I originally stated.

The development directory in the url obviously comes from the rails\_env  
defaulting to development. However I can not seem to get either  
file\_column to pick up rails\_env when I set it or the output to stop  
using it
