I'm using the file_column plugin to upload a small avatar, but when I do this:
@user.update_attribute("picture", params[:user][:picture])
... it completely ignores the validations I've set for the element before:
validates_file_format_of :picture, :in => ["gif", "jpg", "png"] validates_filesize_of :picture, :in => 1.kilobytes..100.kilobytes
I'm able to upload PDF's, textfiles, etc., which is ofcourse rather crappy. I've added this to my model, in case you're wondering:
file_column :picture, :base_url => "images/people", :filename => "picture", :store_dir => "public/images/people/", :magick => { :size => '48x48!', :crop => '1:1', :versions => { :thumb => {:crop => "1:1", :size => "16x16!", :name => "thumb"} } }
Has anybody else experienced this problem?
