Image upload with attachment_fu

Rails
1

I want to be able to edit the uploaded images from attachment_fu. In my
view I do something like this:

Cover
<%= f.file_field :cover %>

and then in my controller, I do something like

@book = Book.new(params[:book].except(:author_ids, :cover))
if !params[:book][:cover].instance_of? String
@cover = Cover.create!(:uploaded_data => params[:book][:cover],
:book_id => @book.id)
end

I just wanted to know if this is the best way to do this or if there is
something I am missing

You’ll want to save the book first so that @book.id will exist.

Other than that, I’m not really sure what you mean about being able to
edit the images.

Are you getting a particular error?

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I am saving. I am not getting any
errors, I just wasn’t sure if there was a better way.

What I mean by editing the images is I want to be able to create the
Book with or without an image and update the image at any time.
