Multiple File Upload

Rails
1

I’m looking for a good tutorial to integrate multiple file uploads
into my forms. Like in Mephisto. I can find very little and have
been looking into it for days. Can anyone point me in the right
direction or provide me with a complete example (controller, model,
view)?

thanks in advance.

Well, I don’t know exactly how to do it in RoR, but I can tell you that
it will be very easy to do it with Flash :smiley:

Mephisto’s source is available… perhaps you could check there. I
always
learn a lot by looking at Rick’s code.

i just wrote up a brief tutorial that should be enough to get on the
right track.

hi plewizard,
thanks for sharing the tutorial, will definitely be of some help for my
project. btw, probably the people who referred you to railsgrunt was
probably me and i am sure i am more of a noob compared to you. i hope
people do not think of my post as the ‘defacto standard’ cause if thats
the case, they in trouble.

so after being thoroughly disappointed in every forum post i’ve ever
read and every solution, I looked into mephisto and reread the pickaxe
and AWDWR 2nd editions and came up with my own tutorial on multiple
file uploads with file field arrays. it borrows heavily from mike
clark’s tutorial and downright steals from mephisto.

check it out.
