Hi all,
I have a really really annoying problem that's driving me nuts with
file_field and paperclip and having to upload images everytime a form is
edited even though the user is quite happy with the currently uploaded
image or loose the previously uploaded image.
This seems to be caused by the rails file_field helper not storing the
data that has been read in from the db in the same way that other field
helpers do and therfore unless an image is uploaded everytime the form
is updated the data for the current image does not get sent back to the
controller in the params hash.
This in turn causes the model to believe that the data has been deleted.
This is obviously a problem with the rails helper as it should work the
same way as all the other field helpers do and retain the data somehow
but right now I need a work around.
Javascript is not an option as the site is a W3C AAA compliant site and
creating a seperate form is just plain wrong as the user has enough to
do without adding more button clicks.
This doesn't sound right at all... I've got many forms using form_for
and f.file_field, etc... and this isn't an issue for me. Nothing
special I'm doing to prevent it... are you sure you're not setting
that field to something somewhere in a before filter or something?

Thanks Phillip,
Maybe it's an issue specific to paperclip
I'm testing on a clean app with nothing other than the crud default
views from a scaffold plus the file_field and the necessary paperclip
stuff for the model.
That maybe what I'm missing.

Sorry, I wasn't clear... I too am using paperclip...
