I'm trying to set up a system that will allow users to upload files using the mongrel upload progress gem to a model that includes other information.
While I'm willing to hack around with this myself for a while to get it working, I was hoping that someone had done this before and might be able to give me some hints/code to look at. My mediafile has a description, mediatype, filename, size, content_type and data field. (Yes I'm storing it in the db, but I will also save it on the drive to serve). Essentially I'm using the upload example but I added in a couple of fields into the code. I think among the issues I'm running into is that the mongrel handler is catching the file before the active record validations are hit, and thus will still upload the file, even though the description is blank. The other problem is that if there is an error, or it finishes correctly, it's sending the response back to the iframe. I'm not using rjs/js for the response at the moment, as I'm trying to use the rails AR error handlers for a consistent look. The other question I have is how or where the best place to start the drb service "ruby lib/upload.rb" so I don't have to do it by hand. Is this something monit could handle, since I'm using monit to start up my mongrel cluster, or can I drop that code into one of the config files? Thanks. _______________________________________________ Mongrel-users mailing list Mongrel-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users
