Newbie: Working with files - images/documents

Hey Guys

I have been working through the Agile Web D. book, and watched
a quicktime called “How to build a blog engine in 15 minutes” - it’s all
helping!
I am playing around with my own stuff - I have created a database and
amd using the scaffold frameworks to do all the work.

My question:
I’d like to be able to “upload” or at least work locally and COPY a file
to a directory and add it to my database - e.g. pick a file and use it
as an avatar in a memberlist? - any ideas how to do that?

Thanks!

Hello,

you may want to have a look at the file_column plugin and its RMagick
bindings:
