linking pictures to a model

rubyonrails-talk

Hi all, I am new to ruby and as such really new to rails, I was wondering if anyone could help me out or point me in the right direction. I am wanting to know the proper way to link many pictures to a model "house". That way if I look up my house, I will see all the pictures that are associated with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks -J

Something like this will work:

class House < ActiveRecord::Base   has_many :photos end

class Photos   has_attachment :content_type => :image,                  :storage => :file_system,                  :max_size => 500.kilobytes,                  :resize_to => '320x200>',                  :thumbnails => { :thumb => '100x100>' }

  validates_as_attachment end

you will need the attachment_fu plugin. A good tutorial on it here: http://clarkware.com/cgi/blosxom/2007/02/24

Once it is saved, how then do I display the picture, since it is not in the model..per se? Thanks -Juan
