-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Hello all, I hope someone can help me with this issue, I have the SVN file\_column and using LoginEngine/UserEngine with Rails 1.1.2. My issue is that I’m overloading the view for LoginEngine to support a file image upload as part of the user record and having a heck of a time doing so. Near the bottom of my new \_edit.rhtml file I put in: \<%= file\_field("user", "image\_url") %\> which now displays the upload field as it should when I go to sign up a user. I placed in the actual LoginEngine user.rb model the “file\_column :image\_url” line just below " include LoginEngine::AuthenticatedUser" and I can see when I submit my form that some directory structure is created. The last part I did was make a new signup.rhtml file with this as the start of my form: ``` <%= start_form_tag({:action => 'signup'}, :multipart => true) %> ``` This was to make sure the form was a multipart form for the upload. The issue is that if I select a file for upload the form doesn’t submit, and no file was created. The form does submit if I have no file set to upload. ☹ Any ideas on what else I need to do to get this all to play nice with each other? Ps: The reason I added the “file\_column :image\_url” right into the LoginEngine user model instead of overloading it is that when I tried to overload it the rest of my app started to have issues everywhere I had “authenticated?” so I felt it just easier not to fight it and add the info right into LoginEngine itself, which on the surface appears to have taken. - – Ray Slakinski Blog : [http://slakinski.com](http://slakinski.com) GPG Fingerprint : 7C1A 65C4 69A6 9CBD 2401 0921 074F CCD6 A77B 87F4 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEVAwUBRFCuh/Ypbvru9KvVAQOQdAf/bxlj5rBdFn/kr2WipIGQP1Wts26UbXMv lThxiR0gkzHCnan5r/b0NRq/5O/4LXkEq0v5onZrq2g4or6gYwDbJ+FJKYusiMzk WRe4/oZrRqqmHh37SfAEkTbJ25ELijREI5+YDtuVNTIdi2+9Jn5IuoXIzErsfVeC spet5bGuFIoegTg/abYy/xjxlN9tlXhN2si3nMmQSJGCefpAR69o49VPyaNVK+x9 4X/pkM5vnjo7YNAczWxcPK7B6dInqtYoG0kmD3CSJ0p98imk7IYzqYrLYjTzPEQT oFkX6aCGu816QfdUbSGaOyUsUBevc4hmCLfTNJPVvzDiOC7WQJoIgA== =+oen -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ---

When using file\_column, the form helper you want to use is file\_column\_field, not file\_field.
