Scenario: I'm creating an image file upload service for my web site.
As well as saving the actual file I also need to create a database record for the file. I would like to name the file after the record id, but I also need to save some attributes of the image (width/height/mime_type etc) which I can't discover until after the file is created. The Problem: 1) The id is not available until after the record is saved so I can't create the file until after the record has been created 2) if I try to update the record in the after_create hook it creates an extra record in the database instead of updating the existing one. Is this a bug? Any advice to resolve this problem would be most welcome. It could be done in the controller of course, but I feel it belongs in the model. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
