Hello, I’m just starting to learn ruby on rails and I have a problem
uploading pictures to my server.
I just want to store the url of the picture and upload its file to
public/images when I create a new Picture record. I don’t know where is
my error and I am going crazy. I don’t need it for any customer or
similar, I only want to understand why it doesn’t work. Please help!
I have used this tutorial:
http://programming-ut.blogspot.com/2010/01/ruby-on-rails-file-upload.html
I have two tables:
Dog
- name
- weight
…
Picture
- url
- dog_id
Dog has many Picture
Picture belong to Dog
In picture_controller I just call a method ‘upload’ of the model at
creation:
def create
@picture = Picture.new(params[:picture])
post = Picture.upload(params[:picture],@picture)
respond_to do |format|
if @picture.save
format.html { redirect_to(@picture, :notice => ‘Created!’) }
format.xml { render :xml => @picture, :status => :created,
:location => @picture }
else
format.html { render :action => “new” }
format.xml { render :xml => @picture.errors, :status =>
:unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end
The method code is:
class Picture < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :dog
def self.upload(data,insert)
fullname = data[‘url’].original_filename
name = File.basename(fullname)
name.sub(/[^\w.-]/,‘_’)
insert.url = name
directory = “/public/images”
path = File.join(directory, insert.url)
File.open(path, “wb”) { |f| f.write(data[‘url’].read) }
end
end
And the view:
New picture
<% form_for(@picture, :html => {:multipart => true}) do |f| %> <%= f.error_messages %>
<%= f.label :url %>
<%= f.file_field :url %>
<%= f.label :perro_id %>
<%= f.text_field :perro_id %>
<%= f.submit 'Create' %>
<% end %> When I push button Create, the log shows:Processing PicturesController#create (for 83.44.0.216 at 2010-12-11
21:16:49) [POST]
Parameters: {“commit”=>“Create”,
