How to download a file uploaded through attachment_fu?

Hi,

I'm new to rails world. I tried out simple example using attachment_fu.

I have successfully uploaded a file and also can delete the file just by giving the id.

I need help in downloading the file saved in the file system.

send_file(File.join(FILE_PATH, file_name), :filename => @video.filename, :disposition => 'attachment')

This doesn't works since attachment_fu follows some procedure in saving the files like

0000

_00

>_file1.txt

_01

>_file2.txt

Thanks,

There are "full_filename" and "public_filename" methods in 'file_system_backend.rb' in attachment_fu. Using these methods you can get the full path of the file. You just have to call these methods for your model object.

Ex:

my_obj.full_filename # Returns the full path of the file
