file_column issue

can anybody here try and help diagnose the file_column error below? I have an object @user that has the image properly set up. This code works on other pages just fine but for some reason I am getting the following error:

You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.split

 16: <% if @user.image
%>
17: <%= image_tag url_for_image_column @user, "image" %>
18: <% else %>
19: <img src="/images/qmark.jpg" width="108" height="108" border="0" alt="" class="profile">

20: <% end %>

/opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.13.2/lib/action_view/helpers/asset_tag_helper.rb:156:in `image_path'

#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/views/content/showprofile.rhtml:17:in `_run_rhtml_47app47views47content47showprofile46rhtml'

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Hi Adam,

the development of file_column is stopped, as the author has't time for it.

Try to use attachment_fu instead, it's good :slight_smile:
