Photos

Another thing…

I have an existing folder full of photos that need to be shared by
numerous users (all sperate credentials).

How can I give 1000’s of accounts the ability to browse and use the same
images?

Hi, Jeremy. It looks like you’re probably trying to ask about Ruby on
Rails.
Since you posted to this group through ruby-forum.com, you can go down
to
the Ruby on Rails forum and ask there.
http://www.ruby-forum.com/forum/3(this forum is for discussion of
Ruby, the language that Ruby on Rails was
written in)

If you want useful help, though, you might try to better define your
questions.

What explicitly do you have:
How does your app access the images?
Are they on your app’s file system? on your local computer? On a
folder in
Amazon’s S3?
How does (if it does) your app access the images? Is there a model for
this? Paperclip? Attachment-fu?

What explicitly are you trying to do:
Do you need to restrict some users from accessing the images?
Do users need to be able to upload their own images? Modify existing
images?
How are your users going to “use” the images?

It is hard to answer questions or give advice when you don’t really
understand what you have to work with, and you don’t really understand
what
you’re goal is. So help other people help you by being explicit.

Good luck with it :slight_smile:

Hi, Jeremy, I appreciate the offer, but right now I already have enough
work
that I’ve got projects in the queue, and it would be irresponsible for
me to
add more to that. Fortunately, there is a whole forum of people who are
interested enough in Rails to read the mailing list / post on the forum,
so
if you ask over there, you might be able to find someone who is a good
match
for your situation.

Best regards,
Josh

Josh-

Hey bud- You may be able to help me a little more. I am not actually a
web guy… I am trying to figure out why our web vendor can’t complete
this project. Possible we can connect via phone?

Thanks

Jeremy
