form_for + catch the complete action

Hi I am using classic form_for to upload pictures using ajax.

<% form_for(:images, :url => formatted_images_path(:format => 'js'), :html => { :multipart => true, :target => 'upload_frame' }) do |f| %>

Is there a way to catch the complete action? I would like to use lightbox to show and crop the image in iframe.

thank you. Petr

Can you use form_remote_for?

Hi,

that is the trouble, the upload is not working with remote_form_for.

Cheers, Petr

I used this about a year ago and it worked fine http://khamsouk.souvanlasy.com/2007/5/1/ajax-file-uploads-in-rails-using-attachment_fu-and-responds_to_parent. Not sure if it still works with current versions of Rails.

In my latest app, I used swfupload to provide multiple file uploads with a progress bar. There are better alternatives if you are using apache and passenger.

I already used responds_to_parent successfully.

What are the better alternatives if we use Apache and Passenger?

Sorry about the delay:

I found a nice tutorial here: http://www.railsillustrated.com/screencast-file-uploads-progress-in-rails-passenger.html
