Next on my list is PageAttachments - so, I installed
attachment_fu and then, I cloned the recent page_attachments from
git. I applied the migration and did the update and restarted
the server.
I was able to add an attachment and then another. But the third
one failed. After trying for a bit, it seems that it loads small
files (tried up to 14KB) but larger files (more than 30KB) seem
to be not loading. Any suggestion on what may be wrong?
I found this in page_attachments\app\models\page_attachment.rb:
has_attachment :storage => :file_system,
:thumbnails => defined?(PAGE_ATTACHMENT_SIZES) &&
PAGE_ATTACHMENT_SIZES || {:icon => '50x50>'},
:max_size => 10.megabytes
This tends to suggest that files up to 10MB should be fine? Any
idea what I should look for? (I'm on Windows, running Radiant
0.7.1 on ruby 1.8.6)

I suggest you drop page_attachments in favor of Paperclipped. It's
easier to manage image sizes and mime-types (you can do both with
the settings extension) and page_attachments will prevent you from
using the change_author extension (I got bitten by this one) if you
decide to use it. It's also much easier to use in day-to-day
operations with its bucket that will allow you to upload and attach
images from the same place.
Hi Nate,
Thanks for the advice. I'm tempted to use PageAttachments firstly
because I was using it earlier :) and the site I'm trying to do is a
technical articles site, so it makes a lot of sense to attach images
to the pages on which the articles appear. Admittedly, I've not
used PaperClipped so I"m not sure if that's how it works - but the
talk of buckets (that I've heard elsewhere also) tends to suggest
common pools rather than page-wise attachments. However, I have
need for Paperclipped also for certain types of site-wide needs, but
I'm scared to even start putting Paperclipped and PageAttachments
together :P
Cheers,
Mohit.

Hello Mohit,
paperclipped comes with a fine installation routine that even imports
your old attachments (and images) and moves them to it's default
location. Look at the github page, there should be a rake task for
mirgration form page_attachments. At least that's how i remember it -
i mirgrated only one image, but it shoudl still work with more than
one ;)
And paperclipped does use a central media pool BUT you still are able
to attach items to pages, so you can, as you woudl do with
page_attachments before, access attachments on pages and get only the
ones attached to this page (but you also cold use som arbitratry ones
by direktly including them)
The radiant tags are a bit different, but cycling throuhg attachments
and testing for them (with mime type filters) is an easy task.
So the attachments thing is still in there. The bucket is for
attaching items to different pages. You add them to the bucket "to
carry them around", and then you can attach items form the bucket to
pages you're editing.
So all in all (and that's the reason i switched) paperclipped is more
flexible and offers a superset of functionality over page_attachments.
Greetings
michael
