Hi Ignacio,
Thanks! I don't think I need a many to many in this app, but that might change.
It's a massive amount of files in each project so I guess I'll just have to
review as I go...
I had to add paperclip to the uploads model, as I couldn't get the routing to
the files right when I just copied file info to the uploads model. I think that
would've been cleaner but it doesn't matter at all.
Ended up with this:
def update
hobo_update do
Upload.create(
:attachment=>this.prattach,
:name=>this.prattach_file_name,
:attachment_file_name =>this.prattach_file_name,
:attachment_content_type =>this.prattach_content_type,
:attachment_file_size =>this.prattach_file_size,
:attachment_updated_at =>this.prattach_updated_at,
:projectfile_id => this.id
)
respond_to do |format|
format.js { hobo_ajax_response }
format.html { redirect_to @projectfile }
end
end
end
