Hi I’m french, new in ror and on this board.  
I want to create a blog for my band and to put picture on it.  
I don’t know how to do this at all.  
Do I have to create a database with the pictures name and path or is  
there a function …  
thx for your comprehension and help…

Hi Maxime,

The easiest way to get started with files is, imo, file\_column.

Have a look in the wiki:

Just search for already made programs that will let you run your site.  
You can start your search at [www.sf.net](http://www.sf.net)  
Don’t bother to program what ppl already built.  
Good luck with your music 😉

hi

you should take a look at typo, a bloggging ror program

you should also get file\_column which handles pictures uploading. you  
have  
to include a ‘image’ column in your tables (for example add ‘image’ -  
varchar 255 - to the Post table). the guy who did this looks like he  
speaks  
french so he might help u [http://www.kanthak.net/opensource/file\_column/](http://www.kanthak.net/opensource/file_column/)

u need to install imagemagick and rmagick to make this work
