How to make attachment_fu work?

Hi all,

I downloaded and installed attachment_fu, also i followed mike clark's tutorial from here http://www.clarkware.com/cgi/blosxom/2007/02/24

but when i tried to upload a file, there are these error msgs: 5 errors prohibited this photo from being saved

There were problems with the following fields:

    * Content type is not included in the list     * Content type can't be blank     * Size is not included in the list     * Size can't be blank     * Filename can't be blank

actually, this has been mentioned before, but i didn't see any solution.

here's my new.rhtml: <%= error_messages_for :photo %>

<% form_for(:photo, :url =>{:controller=>"photo", :action=>"create"} , :html => { :multipart => true }) do |f| -%>   <p>     <label for="photo">Upload A Photo:</label>     <%= f.file_field :uploaded_data %>   </p>   <p>     <%= submit_tag 'Create' %>   </p> <% end -%>

and here's the ACTUAL html file it returns:

<form action="/photo/create" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"> <p>     <label for="photo">Upload A Photo:</label>     <input id="photo_uploaded_data" name="photo[uploaded_data]" size="30" type="file" />   </p>   <p>     <input name="commit" type="submit" value="Create" />   </p>

</form>

the "name" is actually "photo[uploaded_data]" but not upload_data, how do i fix this?

thanks.

The name “photo[uploaded_data]” is fine, view looks fine, what does your controller and model look like?

You have validation errors - so what are you validating in the model? Your controller does not appear to be creating the object correctly ( i.e. the fields aren’t getting populated), so what does it look like?
